Patent EP-0642117-A3 (EP)
IPC: G10L25/00
Filed: 1994-09-01
Abstract: A data compression system greatly compresses the stored data used by a 
speech recognition system employing hidden Markov models (HMM). The speech 
recognition system vector quantizes the acoustic space spoken by humans by dividing it 
into a predetermined number of acoustic features that are stored as codewords in a vector 
quantization (output probability) table or codebook. For each spoken word, the speech 
recognition system calculates an output probability value for each codeword, the output 
probability value representing an estimated probability that the word will be spoken using 
the acoustic feature associated with the codeword. The probability values are stored in an 
output probability table indexed by each codeword and by each word in a vocabulary. The 
output probability table is arranged to allow compression of the probability of values 
associated with each codeword based on other probability values associated with the same 
codeword, thereby compressing the stored output probability. By compressing the 
probability values associated with each codeword separate from the probability values 
associated with other codewords, the speech recognition system can recognize spoken 
words without having to decompress the entire output probability table. In a preferred 
embodiment, additional compression is achieved by quantizing the probability values into 
16 buckets with an equal number of probability values in each bucket. By quantizing the 
probability values into buckets, additional redundancy is added to the output probability 
table, which allows the output probability table to be additionally compressed.

Abstract: The pre-release time (VFZ) of an electromagnetic valve controller is stored as a corresp. bit pattern at one site (23) in a predefined region (20) of the EEPROM. The entry is checked during the operation, and if the site is found to be defective another site (24,25) is chosen. The check is based on allowing redundant bit patterns for the stored information and comparing the contents of the site (23) with these patterns.

Title: Apparatus and method for decoding data
Inventor: NITTA HAJIME
IPC: H04N5/781
Filed: 1996-02-09
Abstract: Data decoding apparatus decodes data reproduced from a record medium (1) and stored in a memory (7). Since decoding requires a sufficient amount of data to be stored in memory, especially when the data is, for example, predictively encoded, a system controller (21) inhibits previously read data from being overwritten in the memory (7). Thus, when a reverse reproduction operation is suddenly initiated during a forward reproduction operation, a sufficient amount of data is reserved in the memory (7) for decoding the data in the reverse direction. Similarly, the system controller (21) inhibits the memory (7) from writing over previously read data during reverse reproduction and a sufficient amount of data is reserved for decoding when forward reproduction is resumed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A networked or other shared users electronic printing system for printing plural print
jobs of plural printed sheets of the different users, includes a printer mailbox system (10)
having a sheet distribution system (16) for automatically directing and stacking the print jobs
into different individual mailbox bins (11). The mailbox bins (11) are electronically assigned to
different respective users. A bin almost-full sensing system (12) detects and signals that the
stacking level of the printed sheets in the bin has reached a preset almost-full level (12b) which
is less than the preset limited sheet full stacking capacity (32) of the bin. A connecting mailbox
control system may indicate to that user at that user's remote terminal that only a preset
limited further number of printed sheets may be directed to that same bin upon the actuation
of the bin almost-full sensing system. The control system may provide several user options,
and/or automatically control the mailbox sheet distribution system to direct subsequent print
jobs or a split portion of a print job to a different mailbox bin, or to a higher sheet stacking
capacity overflow bin (11a).

Abstract: Methods and formulations are disclosed for making and purifying the 3R-3'R stereoisomer of zeaxanthin as a sole detectable isomer, in any desired quantity, for use as a drug or vitamin by humans. Zeaxanthin preparations which contain only the desired 3R-3'R stereoisomer can be produced by a strain of Flavobacterium multivorum bacterial cells (ATCC accession number 55238). These cells (and other cells transformed with their zeaxanthin-producing genes) do not create any detectable quantities of the undesired S-S or S-R isomers of zeaxanthin. The pure R-R isomer can be taken orally, either as a therapeutic drug by patients suffering from macular degeneration, or as a vitamin or nutritional supplement to reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract: An adaptive Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter is provided that can adaptively
detect the presence of one or more tones in its input stream. The tones to be detected
may be of arbitrary frequency, subject only to a limitation that such tones fall within a
frequency band consistent with accepted sampling principles ( e.g. , a maximum
frequency of interest no greater than one-half the sampling frequency -- Nyquist
sampling criteria). An IIR filter developed according to the method of the invention will
adaptively locate the frequencies of tones to be detected, thereby allowing for frequency
drift from nominal expected frequency values with no loss in accuracy. Such a filter will
also process the input signal sample-by-sample, thereby avoiding the blocking problem
of FFT-based filter approaches. With the filter of the invention, an application can
identify the frequencies, associated power levels, SNR and duration of the tones. Thus,
such an application can use a simple user specified library of tone parameters to decide
if tones of interest are present in the input stream.
