Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant de modifier thermiquement une interface glace-objet. Selon l'invention, un système comprend un bloc d'alimentation conçu pour produire une grandeur de puissance. Cette grandeur de puissance est suffisante pour faire fondre une couche interfaciale de glace au niveau de l'interface, ladite couche interfaciale présente en général une épaisseur située dans la plage comprise entre un micron et un millimètre. Un contrôleur peut être utilisé pour limiter la durée dans laquelle ledit bloc d'alimentation produit la grandeur de puissance, et pour limiter une dissipation d'énergie thermique non désirée dans l'environnement. La modulation de l'énergie thermique pulsée par rapport à l'interface modifie un coefficient de frottement entre l'objet et la glace.

Title: Methods and apparatus for data caching to improve name recognition in large namespaces
Inventor: COOPER ROBERT S
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2005-01-18
Granted: 2009-04-14
Abstract: Systems and techniques for improved efficiency and accuracy in voice dialing and directory lookup applications. A voice dialing module receives an input from a user and examines a directory to identify recognition results matching the voice input.  A list of recognition results matching the voice input is constructed, the entries being ranked by confidence. A called party cache for each user includes entries for parties the user is likely to call. Once the result list has been constructed, the voice dialing module compares the list with the called party cache in order to determine if entries in the list appear in the cache. If an entry in the result list appears in the cache, the result list is reordered in order to take into account the increased likelihood that an entry appearing in the called party cache will be an entry the user wishes to call.
