Abstract: Disclosed is a voice recognition apparatus which can
prevent an erroneous manipulation due to erroneous voice
recognition from being carried out even in a noisy

based on the level of a voice signal uttered by an operator
(user) approximately coincides with a duration of utterance
acquired based on mouth image data acquired by capturing
the mouth of the operator, the voice recognition apparatus
outputs vocal-manipulation phrase data as the result of
voice recognition.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a membrane-electrode assembly, and fuel cells
adopting a membrane-electrode assembly formed by the method are provided. The
membrane-electrode assembly fabricating method includes: coating nano-sized
catalytic metal particles 23 on a proton exchange polymer membrane 24 by
sputtering a catalytic metal source; coating nano-sized carbon particles 22 on the
proton exchange polymer membrane 11 by arc discharging or by sputtering a carbon
source to form a nanophase catalyst layer 21; and bonding electrodes to the proton
exchange polymer membrane having the nanophase catalyst layer. Alternatively,
nano-sized catalytic metal and nano-sized carbon particles can be coated on a
proton exchanger polymer membrane to form a catalyst layer by simultaneously
sputtering a catalyst metal source and a carbon source. Use of nano-sized catalytic
metal and carbon particles enlarges the contact area between the catalyst layer and
proton exchange polymer membrane. In addition, ultrafine catalytic metal particles
are easy to penetrate into the proton exchange polymer membrane through small
cavities formed on the surface. This structure of the catalyst layer allows oxidation
and reduction reactions to occur at the surface of the proton exchange polymer
membrane with a high efficiency. Direct coating such catalytic metal and carbon
particles on the proton exchange polymer membrane reduces the amount of catalyst
required, and improves catalyst utilization efficiency with improved fuel gas
permeability. Furthermore, the catalyst layer adjacent to the anode is formed in a
thin film form, so that cross-over of methanol can be effectively suppressed for a
DMFC using the liquid fuel.

Abstract: A method of making a carboxylated carbohydrate is disclosed, cellulose
being a preferred carbohydrate material. Carboxylated cellulose fibers can be produced
whose fiber strength and degree of polymerization is not significantly sacrificed. The
method involves the use of a catalytic amount of a hindered cyclic oxammonium compounds
as a primary oxidant and chlorine dioxide as a secondary oxidant in an aqueous
environment. The oxammonium compounds may be formed  in situ  from their corresponding
amine, hydroxylamine, or nitroxyl compounds. The oxidized cellulose may
be stabilized against D.P. loss and color reversion by further treatment with an oxidant
such as sodium chlorite or a chlorine dioxide/ hydrogen peroxide mixture. Alternatively
it may be treated with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride. In the case
of cellulose the method results in a high percentage of carboxyl groups located at the
fiber surface. The product is especially useful as a papermaking fiber where it contributes
strength and has a higher attraction for cationic additives. The product is also useful
as an additive to recycled fiber to increase strength. The method can be used to improve
properties of either virgin or recycled fiber. It does not require high α-cellulose
fiber but is suitable for regular market pulps.
