Abstract: The present invention relates to a voice recognition
apparatus capable of easily registering a word which has not been
registered. The registering of an unregistered word into a
dictionary can be easily performed without causing a significant
increase in the size of the dictionary. The clustering unit 29
detects a cluster (detected cluster) to which a new unregistered
word is to be added as a new member, from existing clusters obtained
by clustering unregistered words. The unregistered word is added
as a new member to the detected cluster, and the cluster is divided
depending on the members of the cluster such that unregistered
words which are acoustically similar to each other belong to the
same cluster. The maintenance unit 31 updates the word dictionary
on the basis of the result of the clustering. The present invention
may be applied to a robot including a voice recognition apparatus.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to improve yarn feeding
conditions to a knitting needle and improve a loop pressing
function and a yarn holding function for end stitches in a flat
knitting machine provided with a compound needle. In a top
portion 12 of a loop presser 11 advancing to a tooth mouth 10,
a knitting yarn holding portion for end stitches 13 and a loop
presser portion 14 are formed. The knitting yarn holding
portion for end stitches 13 hides a tongue 25a from the yarn
22 at a wall portion 15 above the knitting yarn holding portion
for end stitches 13 so that the problem of yarn entanglement
that the yarn 22 fed to a hook 24a of the compound needle 23
from a yarn feeding port 20 is surmounted on the tongue 25a
may be solved. A pressing portion 16 below the knitting yarn
holding portion for end stitches 13 presses the yarn 22. The
knitting yarn holding portion for end stitches 13 holds the
yarn 22 outside the end stitch by winding it around it. The
loop presser portion 14 presses the yarn 22 during the knitting.
While hiding the tongue 25a of the needle 23 of the end stitch
at the wall portion 15, the yarn 22 can be guided into the hook
24a reliably by causing the loop presser portion 14 of another
loop presser 11 to act.

Abstract: A machine for machining a workpiece with at least one revolving or rotating tool has a work spindle with a shaft ( 5 ), whose temperature is monitored by means of at least one temperature sensor ( 26 ). The temperature sensor is detected in contactless fashion. The sensor ( 26 ) is preferably a radiation-sensitive sensor, which detects the temperature radiation output. by the shaft ( 5 ). In triggering the positioning drive mechanisms, the control unit ( 35 ) of the machine ( 1 ) takes into account the temperature expansions of the shaft ( 5 ) that result from the temperature changes in the shaft. The positioning drive mechanisms serve to position a tool ( 6 ), carried by the shaft ( 5 ), relative to the workpiece ( 2 ). A machining precision is thus achieved that is independent of the temperature and temperature changes of the machine ( 1 ) overall, of temperature changes in the coolant-lubricant, and of temperature changes in the tool ( 6 ) and the shaft ( 5 ), that can all be caused by the power converted at the machining site.
