Abstract: A voicing probability determination method is provided for estimating a percentage of unvoiced and voiced energy for each harmonic within each of a plurality of bands of a speech signal spectrum. Initially, a synthetic speech spectrum is generated based on the assumption that speech is purely voiced. The original and synthetic speech spectra are then divided into plurality of bands. The synthetic and original speech spectra are compared harmonic by harmonic, and a voicing determination is made based on this comparison. In one embodiment, each harmonic of the original speech spectrum is assigned a voicing decision as either completely voiced or unvoiced by comparing the difference with an adaptive threshold. If the difference for each harmonic is less than the adaptive threshold, the corresponding harmonic is declared as voiced; otherwise the harmonic is declared as unvoiced. The voicing probability for each band is then computed based on the amount of energy in the voiced harmonics in that decision band. Alternatively, the voicing probability for each band is determined based on a signal to noise ratio for each of the bands which is determined based on the collective differences between the original and synthetic speech spectra within the band.

Abstract: A method and system for allowing clients to retrieve data from data sources that do not necessarily support the same protocols and formats as the clients. The clients issue service requests. A pre-processor responds to the requests by generating XML-structured request objects with unresolved links to the data sources that have information required by the clients. An XML processor resolves the links by issuing requests through one or more gateways. The gateways convert the responses received from the data sources into XML, which the XML processor uses to create XML composite response documents. A post-processor filters the XML response documents, and applies XSL stylesheets to transform the XML composite response documents into client-specific responses that conform to the format required by the clients. The client-specific responses are then sent to the clients.

Abstract: An electrochemical fuel cell is operated with periodic reactant starvation at either or both electrodes. Periodic reactant starvation conditions cause a change in the potential of the starved electrode and may result in the removal of electrocatalyst poisons and in improved fuel cell performance. This technique may have other beneficial effects at the electrodes, including performance improvements due to water management effects or localized heating effects at the starved electrode. In a preferred method, while successive localized portions of a fuel cell electrode are periodically reactant starved, the remainder of the fuel cell electrode remains electrochemically active and saturated with reactant such that the fuel cell is able to continue to generate power.

Abstract: Mismatch Repair Detection (MRD), a novel method for DNA-variation detection, utilizes bacteria to detect mismatches by a change in expression of a marker gene. DNA fragments to be screened for variation are cloned into two MRD plasmids, and bacteria are transformed with heteroduplexes of these constructs. Resulting colonies express the marker gene in the absence of a mismatch, and lack expression in the presence of a mismatch. MRD is capable of detecting a single mismatch within 10 kb of DNA. In addition, MRD can analyze many fragments simultaneously, offering a powerful method for high-throughput genotyping and mutation detection.

Abstract: The steam cooling circuit for a gas turbine includes a bore tube assembly supplying steam to circumferentially spaced radial tubes coupled to supply elbows for transitioning the radial steam flow in an axial direction along steam supply tubes (56) adjacent the rim of the rotor. The supply tubes supply steam to circumferentially spaced manifold segments (120) located on the aft side of the 1-2 spacer for supplying steam to the buckets of the first and second stages. Spent return steam from these buckets flows to a plurality of circumferentially spaced return manifold segments disposed on the forward face of the 1-2 spacer (30). Crossover tubes (146) couple the steam supply from the steam supply manifold segments through the 1-2 spacer to the buckets of the first stage. Crossover tubes (196) through the 1-2 spacer also return steam from the buckets of the second stage to the return manifold segments. Axially extending return tubes convey spent cooling steam from the return manifold segments to radial tubes via return elbows. The bore tube assembly, radial tubes, elbows, manifold segments and crossover tubes are removable from the turbine rotor and replaceable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A monitor for and a method of examining packets passing through a connection point on a computer network. Each packets conforms to one or more protocols. The method includes receiving a packet from a packet acquisition device and performing one or more parsing/extraction operations on the packet to create a parser record comprising a function of selected portions of the packet. The parsing/extraction operations depend on one or more of the protocols to which the packet conforms. The method further includes looking up a flow-entry database containing flow-entries for previously encountered conversational flows. The lookup uses the selected packet portions and determining if the packet is of an existing flow. If the packet is of an existing flow, the method classifies the packet as belonging to the found existing flow, and if the packet is of a new flow, the method stores a new flow-entry for the new flow in the flow-entry database, including identifying information for future packets to be identified with the new flow-entry. For the packet of an existing flow, the method updates the flow-entry of the existing flow. Such updating may include storing one or more statistical measures. Any stage of a flow, state is maintained, and the method performs any state processing for an identified state to further the process of identifying the flow. The method thus examines each and every packet passing through the connection point in real time until the application program associated with the conversational flow is determined.

Abstract: A rotation monitoring system (70) detects the rotational speed of an anode (10) of an x-ray tube during use. The system (70) includes a detector (72), which detects a pulse of secondary x-rays generated by the interaction of a stream (C) of electrons with a known defect (83) on a surface (84) of the anode. The detector may be position inside or outside a vacuum envelope (14) of the x-ray tube. The stream of electrons is supplied by a secondary source (80), separate from a main source (18) of electrons used to generate the primary or working x-ray beam (B) of the x-ray tube. A single pulse is detected with each rotation of the anode, providing a simple method of calculation of the anode rotation speed. Preferably, a feed-back loop is used to correct the rotational speed of the anode so that overheating of the anode is avoided and the useful life of the x-ray tube is extended. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for identifying, test firing, marking, and imaging firearm cartridge cases and firearms for use by firearm manufactures. The system and method includes five subsystems, which work in the following sequence: a firearm serial number recognition sub-system; a cartridge case recovery sub-system; a cartridge case sorting sub-system; a cartridge case marking sub-system; and an image acquisition sub-system (108). The firearm serial number recognition sub-system (130) reads the serial number of a firearm and stores it in a database. The cartridge case recovery sub-system recovers fired cartridge cases and transports them to the sorting sub-system. The cartridge case sorting sub-system identifies the orientation of the cartridge cases and reorients them, if necessary, for marking. The cartridge case marking sub-system stamps the firearm serial numbers on the cartridge cases. The serial number is encrypted in a 2D matrix (barcode) form on the casings. The image acquisition sub-system acquires the firing pin and breech face images of a cartridge case after reading the stamped serial number on its side.
