摘要:
A voice recognition unit is constructed in such a way as to create a voice label string for an inputted voice uttered by a user inputted for each language on the basis of a feature vector time series of the inputted voice uttered by the user and data about a sound standard model, and register the voice label string into a voice label memory 2 while automatically switching among languages for a sound standard model memory 1 used to create the voice label string, and automatically switching among the languages for the voice label memory 2 for holding the created voice label string by using a first language switching unit SW1 and a second language switching unit SW2.

A client (such as a PC, portable telephone, PDA, electrical appliances), to which a device such as a IC card is connected, starts a handshake protocol to request a server to start communication. When communication is established via the handshake protocol, the initiative of communication is transferred to the server, and the state changes into a neutral state. In this neutral state, a control packet including a particular number of messages and a finished message is transmitted from the server to the client. If the client receives the control packet, the client performs a process according to the messages included in the control packet. This makes it possible to remotely control a device via a network in a highly reliable and efficient manner.

An image processing apparatus is provided. A density conversion component converts a density of a transparent color material so that a total amount of a plurality of color materials is smaller than a predetermined first amount when it is determined that the total amount of the plurality of color materials is larger than the predetermined first amount and when the transparent color material is included in the plurality of color materials. A density ratio calculation component calculates a ratio between a density before converting the density of the transparent color material and a density after converting the density of the transparent material. A reporting component reports that the ratio of the density is smaller than a predetermined second amount when determining that the ratio of the density is smaller than the predetermined second amount.

An exhaust gas purification catalyst includes: a lower catalyst layer that contains a ceria-zirconia mixed oxide having 50 to 70 mass % of CeO2 and 5 mass % or more of Pr2O3 and carries at least one of Pt and Pd; and an upper catalyst layer that contains at least zirconia and carries at least Rh, wherein the total amount of CeO2 per liter of the carrier base is 15 to 30 g. Because the amount of CeO2 is small, formation of H2S is suppressed and a high capability of adsorbing and releasing oxygen is brought out in spite of the small amount of CeO2.

The composite particle for an electrode in accordance with the present invention contains an electrode active material, a conductive auxiliary agent having an electronic conductivity, and an oxidizing/reducing agent. Therefore, this composite particle can construct an effective conductive network, and effectively provide so-called oxidizing/reducing capacity due to the oxidizing/reducing agent. Hence, when the composite particle for an electrode in accordance with the present invention is used as a constituent material of an electrode in an electrochemical device, the electrochemical device can realize a higher capacity.

An information apparatus for use in mobile unit, which is mounted on a mobile unit, includes at least a broadcast receiver 11 and 13 for receiving a broadcasting signal containing a broadcasting station name; a recognition dictionary 30 for registering the broadcasting station name; and a voice recognition section 27 for performing voice recognition of a voice input indicating the broadcasting station name, and carries out, referring to the dictionary, tuning to the broadcasting station associated with the broadcasting station name corresponding to a voice recognition result. The information apparatus for use in mobile unit further includes a recognition dictionary update section 26 for updating the dictionary in response to reception of the broadcasting signal; and a dictionary update deciding section 25 for making a decision, referring to an update mode at the update of the dictionary when receiving the broadcasting signal, as to whether any change occurs between the broadcasting station transmitting the broadcasting signal and the update mode or not, and for altering, if any change occurs, an update frequency of the dictionary by the dictionary update section in response to a traveling condition of the mobile unit or to a receiving condition of the broadcasting signal.

An image uploaded from a camera-equipped cellular phone, and additional information attached to the image such as voice information and the like are managed in a database in a service server. Then, an URL for accessing the additional information is issued and converted into a QR code. Order information including the image and the QR code are sent to the print device, and a photo print having the image and the QR code printed on a print paper is produced. When the camera-equipped cellular phone reads the QR code on the photo print and accesses by use of the URL acquired by decrypting the above described QR code, the managed additional information on the image is read from the database correspondingly to the URL, and sent to the camera-equipped cellular phone which has accessed.
摘要:
An ultrafine crystal layer forming process of forming an ultrafine crystal layer in a workpiece constituted by a metallic material. The process includes: performing a machining operation on a surface of the workpiece using a machining tool, so as to impart a large local strain to the machined surface of the workpiece, where the machining operation using the machining tool causes the machined surface of the workpiece to be subjected to a plastic working that causes to have large local strain in the form of a true strain of at least 1, such that the ultrafine crystal layer is formed in a surface layer portion of the workpiece that defines the machined surface of the workpiece. Also disclosed are a nanocrystal layer forming process, a machine component having the ultrafine crystal layer or the nanocrystal layer, and a machine component producing process of producing the machine component.
