摘要:
A user is instructed to spell a word, or say a sequence of letters, on a letter-by-letter basis for purposes such as speaker verification. A first user may be instructed to spell a word on a letter-by-letter basis. Spoken information from the first user is recorded, in which the first user has spoken the word on the letter-by-letter basis. The spoken information from the first user is used to determine whether the first user is a second user, by for instance, identifying glottal events within the spoken information, determining characteristics of these glottal events, and comparing the glottal events with the glottal events of the second user.

Both water intrusion and wind noise issues are addressed with an audio porting assembly including a single frame (102) having a speaker cavity (110) and a microphone cavity (112) formed therein. An opening (114) formed within the frame (102) between the speaker cavity (110) and the microphone cavity (112) provides a path for indirect porting from the speaker cavity into the microphone cavity. A unitarily molded membrane (104) provides a seal over the frame (102).

The present invention relates to N-Benzyl-Substituted Pyridyl Porphyrin Compounds, compositions comprising an effective amount of an N-Benzyl-Substituted Pyridyl Porphyrin Compound and methods for treating or preventing injury due to exposure to a reactive species, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, lung disease, hyperoxia, neurodegenerative disease, liver disease, myocardial damage during cardioplegia, an inflammatory condition, a reperfusion injury, an ischemic condition, a cardiovascular disease, diabetes, a diabetic complication, cancer, a side effect of cancer chemotherapy, or a radiation-induced injury, and methods for prolonging the half-life of an oxidation-prone compound, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of an N-Benzyl-Substituted Pyridyl Porphyrin Compound.
摘要:
A quantitative, objective method utilizing physiological data is provided for evaluating the modality of learning for a user and determining in which modality the user is most effective at learning. The method utilizes a session where the user is provided a set of information while wearing sensors for measuring physiological data such as brain electrical activity, and where the physiological data values are then correlated with learning modalities. The process can be performed quickly, without the bias and poor granularity of self-reported learning modality assessments. This method can be employed before the design of teaching curricula to ensure that learners are receiving information in the modality that suits them best and enables them to learn most effectively. This method may also be employed with a testing session to further correlate physiological data, learning modality, and testing performance.

An extruded polymeric void-board is configured for placement between adjacent horizontal layers of bricks to maintain an opening in a lower layer of the bricks. The void-board is formed as a relatively thin planar element having first and second surfaces. A plurality of parallel ribs extend from and generally transverse to the first side. The ribs have a predetermined height to width ratio and have a height that is less than a thickness of the planar element. The ribs being formed parallel to one another. A method for forming a bundle of bricks with the void-board is also disclosed.

An entertainment machine using biometric information is disclosed. In one embodiment, the entertainment machine detects biometric information of a customer. The biometric information of the customer is compared against a database of biometric information of a number of predetermined people other than the customer, to yield one or more people having biometric information that most closely match the biometric information of the customer. These predetermined people may be famous people, such as sports stars, movie stars, public figures, and so on. The entertainment machine indicates to the customer the identities of the people having biometric information that most closely match the biometric information of the customer.
摘要:
Locating and confirming glottal events within human speech signals is disclosed. In a method of one embodiment of the invention, a signal representing digitized, sampled human speech is received, and at least one speech segment is located within the signal. One or more higher energy sections within each speech segment are also located, as well as glottal events within each speech segment based on these higher energy sections. The glottal events located within each speech segment are confirmed, including registering at least some of the glottal events with adjacent glottal events. Such confirmation allows for more accurate speaker verification to be performed.
