Title: Method and apparatus for voice recognition, electronic device and storage medium
Inventor: PENG JINGWEI
IPC: G10L15/04
Filed: 2022-08-19
Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for voice recognition, an electronic device and a storage medium, which relate to a field of artificial intelligence technologies such as voice recognition, end-point detection (EPD) and natural language processing (NLP). The method includes: performing voice recognition on voice information; and updating a waiting duration for EPD from a first preset duration to a second preset duration in response to recognizing a preset keyword from the voice information, where the first preset duration is less than the second preset duration. Therefore, the invention avoids recognizing an end point caused by a pause after the user speaks the preset keyword and avoids a break due to recognizing an end point in the voice recognition process, which is conductive to prolonging voice recognition time and improving the user experience.

Title: Rotor for a screening apparatus for the purification of pulp suspensions, particularly in the paper industry
IPC: D21D5/02
Filed: 1983-05-04
Abstract: A rotor for a sorting apparatus for cleaning fibrous suspensions such as produced from the making of paper is described. The rotor is equipped with sorter blades which extend substantially parallel to the axis of rotation and are set at a desired angle relative to the direction of rotation of the rotor so as to create a hydrofoil effect. The sorter blades are mounted to one or more supporting walls shaped in a spiral form to provide spiral surfaces which are coaxial with the axis of rotation of the rotor and impart a conveying motion to the fibrous suspension. Upon rotation of the rotor in a fibrous suspension entanglements by impurities are avoided and the danger of the occurrence of a blockage of the strainer used in the sorter apparatus is reduced.

Title: Analytical photometer, of centrifugal type, for the practically simultaneous determination of the presence of different substances in a certain number of discrete samples
IPC: G01N21/07
Filed: 1984-04-04
Abstract: Analytical photometer for the practically simultaneous determination of the presence of different substances in a certain number of discrete samples. The photometer (10) is equipped with a centrifugal type rotor (16), already known in the art, containing a large number of chambers with inlet holes (20, 22) for the sample/samples and reagents and with axially aligned transparent windows, thereby forming a system of rotating cuvettes (18). The rotor compartments (16) serve as receptacles for the solutions and are designed and dimensioned as already known in the art, such as to retain the liquid when said rotor (16) is at rest and to transfer said liquid into the cuvettes (18) when the rotor (16) rotates. A single or multiple light source (L) is provided, which is transmitted in a novel manner through a system of suitable means, in particular, optical fibres (30-35) to various photodetector units (60 to 65), suitably aligned with the transparent windows of the cuvettes (18) by means of the same number of interference filters (50 to 55) and appropriate holes (40 to 45) situated in the base (15) of the rotor (16). Thus it is possible to determine for the first time, concentrations of chemical solutions through the absorbance in the sample/samples plus reagent/reagents contained in the cuvettes (18) at various wave lengths, with wave energy being delivered from source (L). 
<??>Hence it is possible to examine more than one cuvette (18) almost simultaneously and singly, each one for a different analytical parameter, and consequently to examine the transmittance and/or absorbance of the samples contained in the cuvettes at optimum wave length.

Abstract: An apparatus for scrambling raster scan lines of a multip­
lex analogue component television signal having luminance 
and chrominance sections in analogue form comprises a writ­
ing means (W1), a luminance store (4) and a chrominance 
store (5), and a reading means (R1). A controlling means (6)

analogue sections is divided into a plurality of information 
blocks which are separated by at least a part of the other 
analogue section. An unscrambling apparatus for unscrambl­
ing the signal scrambled by the above apparatus comprises a 
writing means (W3) which is controlled by a controlling 
means (15) to write the luminance information blocks into a 
luminance store (17) and the chrominance information into a 
chrominance store (18). A reading means (R4) is controlled by 
the controlling means (15) to read out the stores (17, 18) to 
provide undivided sections of analogue chrominance and 
luminance information.

at the surface by at least one transducer (40), which is coupled 
to a recorder assembly (48). The recorder assembly provides 
an indication as to whether the perforating gun fired as 
intended.

Abstract: An apparatus for calibrating a timer of the type having 
a first and a second input channel in which an initial signal 
arriving over one input channel initiates a timing cycle, 
while a subsequent signal arriving over the other input 
channel terminates the timing cycle, said initial and subse­

first and second signal routing means, said first signal 
routing means being capable of selectively coupling the first 
signal cable, the test signal source, one end of the 
commoning cable, and the first timer input channel, while 
said second signal routing means is capable of selectively 
coupling the second signal cable, the test signal source, or 
another end of the commoning cable and the second timer 
input channel. The differences in delay times associated 
with different signal paths are determined by a series of 
tests using the test signal source to generate signals to start
