Title: Positionally dependent pattern checking in character strings using deterministic finite automata
Filed: 2006-09-01
Abstract: A deterministic finite state machine organised for the detection of positionally significant matches of characters in a string of characters examines each character in turn to determine a exit transition for a current state of the machine to another state The machine responds to an examination of the string of characters by executing in response to a first character at the commencement of the string a transition from an initial state to another state. The machine has at least one state for every character position, includes a exit transition from each state for each character to another state; and possesses only forward exit transitions each from any of the states whereby the current state of the machine unambiguously represents a count of the number of characters from the commencement of the string. The machine may include at least one match state which indicates that all character matches in the string required by at least one respective rule have been detected. Some but not all the states in the multiplicity of states each have a single exit transition for any value of a respective character in the string. At least some of the states in the multiplicity of states each define an exit transition to a state indicating ‘no match’. The machine may be disposed to cease its examination of the character string on attaining a ‘no match’state.

Patent GB-9025960-D0 (GB)
Title: Near-tool quality 4.8 kbps speech codec
IPC: G10L19/12
Filed: 1990-11-29
Abstract: A speech codec operating at low data rates uses an iterative method to jointly optimize pitch and gain parameter sets. A 26-bit spectrum filter coding scheme may be used, involving successive subtractions and quantizations. The codec may preferably use a decomposed multipulse excitation model, wherein the multipulse vectors used as the excitation signal are decomposed into position and amplitude codewords. Multipulse vectors are coded by comparing each vector to a reference multipulse vector and quantizing the resulting difference vector. An expanded multipulse excitation codebook and associated fast search method, optionally with a dynamically-weighted distortion measure, allow selection of the best excitation vector without memory or computational overload. In a dynamic bit allocation technique, the number of bits allocated to the pitch and excitation signals depend on whether the signals are "significant" or "insignificant". Silence/speech detection is based on an average signal energy over an interval and a minimum average energy over a predetermined number of intervals. Adaptive post-filter and the automatic gain control schemes are also provided. Interpolation is used for spectrum filter smoothing, and an algorithm is provided for ensuring stability of the spectrum filter. Specially designed scalar quantizers are provided for the pitch gain and excitation gain.

Title: Explosives detector
IPC: G01N23/222
Filed: 1991-02-14
Abstract: Apparatus for non-invasively inspecting an object, such as an item of luggage, for explosives material comprises a multi-channel thermal neutron inspection system having a plurality of neutron irradiation chambers. Simultaneous operation of several channels increases maximum system throughput several times. Each chamber has a lithium neutron source, 56, (72 Fig. 2 not shown) which is stimulated to neutron production by a proton beam. Beam switching magnets (60 Fig. 2 not shown) are energised by pulsing to divert a common proton beam to each source in turn. The initial beam is generated by a radio frequency quadrupole accelerator 66. The advantages of this system are very low residual source activity and controllable neutron production thereby minimising safety hazards. The irradiation chamber may contain several different gamma ray detectors (80, 82, 84, 86 Figs. 2 and 3 not shown) to identify the elements present in explosives material. In addition a neutron radiography imaging means (88 Fig. 2 not shown) may be employed to identify the presence of potential shielding materials. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus interconnected for the communication of control messages
IPC: H04N9/64
Filed: 1992-09-17
Abstract: A consumer electronics system has plural apparatuses interconnected by a multiple channel for control and data signalization including a control channel. The control channel is a qualifier bus that in each apparatus is interfaced to a control element that in an initiator apparatus transmits a message selectively specifying a proprietary signalization interface. A follower apparatus acknowledges the message if the user signalization interfaces match. Thereupon, the system coactivates the matched interfaces in initiator and follower apparatuses. In an extended form, the apparatuses as a prerequisite try to consent about a standard protocol on a further control channel external to said multiple channel.
