Patent GB-2331827-A (GB)
Title: Speech processing system
Inventor: HOLMES JOHN NICHOLAS
IPC: G10L15/14
Filed: 1997-10-13
Abstract: A speech processing system (10) incorporates an analogue to digital converter (16) to digitise input speech signals for Fourier transformation to produce short-term spectral cross-sections. These cross-sections are compared with one hundred and fifty reference patterns in a store (34), the patterns having respective stored sets of formant frequencies assigned thereto by a human expert. Six stored patterns most closely matching each input cross-section are selected for further processing by dynamic programming, which indicates the pattern which is a best match to the input cross-section by using frequency-scale warping to achieve alignment. The stores formant frequencies of the best matching pattern are modified by the frequency warping, and the results are used as formant frequency estimates for the input cross-section. The frequencies are further refined on the basis of the shape of the input cross-section near to the chosen formants. Formant amplitudes are produced from input cross-section amplitudes at estimated formant frequencies. The formant frequencies and amplitudes are used with a computer (25) to provide speech indications or with a Hidden Markov Model word matcher (24) to provide word recognition.

Title: A device for generating a ringing tone by extracting and storing the fundamental frequency of an input audio signal
Inventor: HARADA HIDEO
IPC: H04M19/04
Filed: 1998-04-01
Abstract: The device comprises a telephone circuit (1) for receiving an audio signal, a converter (2) for converting the audio signal into a bi-level or binary signal which is stored in memory (3). The converter 2 includes a series of bandpass filters BPF 61,62,6n for dividing the audio signal into n sub-bands, a comparator 9 and a selector 7 for extracting the fundamental frequency from the filtered signals s61,s62,s6n. A waveform shaping circuit 8 is then used to convert the fundamental frequency into a bi-level signal for storage in the memory. Upon receipt of an incoming call the bi-level signal is read out from memory and is used to drive a buzzer (5) and thereby generate a ringing tone.

Title: Deactivation of a portable device
Inventor: CALLAM SUSAN MELANIE
IPC: G06F21/86
Filed: 1999-03-13
Abstract: A portable device has an openable cover 104, which is open in normal operation.

Title: Ultrasonic fuel-gauging system utilising a piezoelectric transformer
Inventor: STEVENS MARTIN
IPC: H02H9/00
Filed: 1999-07-21
Abstract: A fuel-gauging system has an ultrasonic probe 2 mounted in a tank 1, the probe being connected to a processor unit 10 via an electrical signal path 20 comprising two lengths of electrical wires 21 and 37 and a piezoelectric transformer 30 connected in series between the two lengths of wires. The transformer 30 has two piezoelectric elements (31 and 32, Fig 2) mounted on opposite sides of the wall 5 of the tank 1 so there is no direct electrical passage into the tank. The piezoelectric elements (31 and 32) are matched to the resonant frequency of the probe 2 so that signals of different frequencies are heavily attenuated. In the situation where a piezoelectric transformer cannot be mounted on the inside of the tank, it can be mounted on the outside of the tank and connected to the gauging device by an electrical wire extending through the wall of the tank (Fig 3).

Title: Gap or lens located bewteen two optic fibres to prevent heat spot damage
Inventor: SCHWEIZER-KASHYAP HANNAH USHA
IPC: G02B6/26
Filed: 1999-11-11
Abstract: Optic fibres 9 and 10 are separated by a gap 8 which dissipates the heat formed by the transmitted light 11. A lens 12 may also be placed between the two optic fibres so that when light is transmitted from light source 13 the light is de-focussed and therefore prevents fibre optic damage. Another embodiment is the addition of a different type of glass in place of the gap which also acts to de-focus the transmitted light. A further embodiment is to taper the optic fibre clad 5 and core 3 as shown in figure 2. The stated affect is the expansion of small spot 4 to a bigger spot 6 which will also dissipate the heat. In a further embodiment detection means is provided so that the light can be automatically switched off if fibre optic damage is detected.
