Patent EP-0916406-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SMITH GARY THOMAS
IPC: G01N1/00
Filed: 1998-11-11
Abstract: The puck for a sample tube includes a housing, a spring device
and an end cap. The spring device has an annular base portion and
angularly spaced spring arms that extend upwardly from the base
portion and then bend downwardly toward the base portion. The end
cap includes a hub portion around which the spring device is mounted.
The cap with the spring device are fixed at one end of the housing and
a portion of the spring arms extend into the interior space of the
housing. The downwardly directed portion of the spring arm includes
a sample tube engaging portion that is substantially parallel with a
central axis of the housing. Thus a sample tube inserted in the puck
engages the sample tube engaging portions of the spring arms which
exert a biasing force against the sample tube. The spring arms provide
an optimum restraining force against the sample tube to permit easy
insertion and removal of the sample tube from the puck.

Abstract: The interlocking assembly system includes a
seat track (14), a floor beam (30) and a clip (44) for connecting the
seat track (14) to the underlying floor beam. The clip (44)
includes first (50) and second (58) clip members that cooperate
to engage the opposed edges of the floor beam (30). Each
clip member (50,58) has a beam attachment portion (60), typically
including an inward sill (66), for engaging the respective
beam edge once the clip members have been slidably
engaged. Additionally, the first clip member (50) includes
an elongate tongue (54) extending away from the respective
beam attachment portion. In addition, the second clip
member (58) includes a pair of elongate rails (62) that extend
away from the respective beam attachment portion and
are spaced apart to define a lengthwise extending
channel (64) that is sized to slidably receive the elongate
tongue (54). Once the lengthwise extending channel (64) has
received the elongate tongue (54), the clip members (50,58) can be
secured by a fastener (78). Thereafter, the seat track (14) can
be slid or snapped onto the clip. In addition to
securely mounting a seat track (14) to the underlying floor
beam (30), the interlocking assembly system permits panels,
such as floor panels, to be installed in a simplified
manner. In this regard, a panel assembly is provided
that includes a panel, a rail mounted to an edge of the
panel, and a cam lock assembly mounted at least
partially to the rail for connecting the panel to an
adjacent structure, such as a seat track (14).

Abstract: On the basis of an autocorrelation coefficient
calculated by an autocorrelation coefficient
computation section (11) from an input speech signal,
an LSF computation section (12) computes LSF parameters
F(k) (k = 1, 2, ···, N). A modified logarithmic
transformation section (15) performs on the LSF
parameters a logarithmic transformation with offset
defined by f(k) = logC (1 + A×F(k)) to obtain modified
logarithmic LSF parameters f(k). The resulting
modified logarithmic LSF parameters are quantized by a
quantization section (14) to provide quantized LSF
parameters fq(k). Codes representing the quantized LSF
parameters fq(k) are outputted. An inverse transformation
defined by Fq(k) = (C fq(k)  - 1)/A is performed on
the LSF parameters fq(k) to output LSF parameters Fq(k)
on the general frequency scale.

hybrid units. Preferably only the most frequently encountered units are
stored as syllables, with the remainder being stored as smaller units
such as demi-syllables or phonemes. Voice input is then used to
rescore the n-best transcriptions and these are stored preferably as
