A client 2 includes a transmission unit 2d for transmitting the input speech information over a network to a server system 3 and an output unit 2b for receiving the contents selection information from the server system 3 over the network to output the received information. The server system 3 includes a prepared information storage unit 9b for memorizing one or more pieces of the preparation information pertinent to each contents, from one contents to another, and an information preparing server 7 for preparing the contents selection information based on the speech information received from the client 2 over the network and on the preparation information to send the so-prepared contents selection information to the client 3 over the network.

A position detecting device for detecting a position of a movable body which is moved by a drive system having a rotation body includes a magnetic part having an N-pole and an S-pole on a face of the rotation body and a sensor chip having at least a magneto-resistive element. The face of the rotation body is perpendicular to the rotation shaft of the rotation body and the sensor chip is provided so as to face the magnetic part for detecting a variation of magnetic field by the magneto-resistive element when the magnetic part is rotated with the rotation body. A little space is required for mounting the sensor chip having the magneto-resistive element and therefore downsizing can be attained.

A sentence or a singing is to be synthesized with a natural speech close to the human voice. To this end, singing metrical data are formed in a tag processing unit 211 in a singing synthesis unit 212 in a speech synthesis apparatus 200 based on singing data and an analyzed text portion. A language analysis unit 213 performs language processing on text portions other than the singing data. As for a text portion registered in a natural metrical dictionary, as determined by this language processing, corresponding natural metrical data is selected and its parameters are adjusted in a metrical data adjustment unit 222 based on phonemic segment data of a phonemic segment storage unit 223 in the metrical data adjustment unit 222. As for a text portion not registered in the natural metrical dictionary, a phonemic symbol string is generated in a natural metrical dictionary storage unit 214, after which metrical data are generated in a metrical generating unit 221. A waveform generating unit 224 concatenates necessary phonemic segment data, based on the natural metrical data, metrical data and the singing metrical data to generate speech waveform data.

A motor with brush includes a rotor having a rotary shaft and a commutator retained at the rotary shaft, two brush sections each having a plane surface in an axial direction of the rotor and in sliding contact with the commutator, and two brush terminals that are integral with the brush sections, respectively. Each of the brush terminals includes a brush connecting section formed in the axial direction of the rotary shaft and having a plane surface that connects to the plane surface of each of the corresponding brush sections, and a bent section that is bent in a direction generally orthogonal to the axial direction of the rotary shaft. The bent section restricts and fixedly positions the brush terminal and the brush section, and the brush terminals connect to external connection members that are provided outside the motor and inside an outer circumference of the motor.

A book database stores at least phonetic signal information including phoneme information and rhythm information as document data, a central system transmits phonetic signal information stored on the book database to a terminal and the terminal receives the phonetic signal information is then carried out at the terminal and the document is then recited via synthesized sounds.

A translation apparatus and a translation method arranged to facilitate the operation of inputting a speech and to obtain a correct translation. When a speech in Japanese is input to a microphone by a user, it is recognized in a speech recognition section and one or more words constituting the speech are output to a system control section. The system control section searches Japanese sentences stored in a first language sentence storage section to find one of them most similar to a combination of one or more words output from the speech recognition section. The Japanese sentence thereby found is output through an output section. If this Japanese sentence is correct, the user operates one of control keys. The system control section then searches English sentences stored in a second language sentence storage section to find one of them corresponding to a translation of the Japanese sentence output as a search result, and outputs the English sentence thereby found through the output section.
