    摘要: A graphic user interface system for use with a content based retrieval system includes an active display having display areas. For example, the display areas include a main area providing an overview of database contents by displaying representative samples of the database contents. The display areas also include one or more query areas into which one or more of the representative samples can be moved from the main area by a user employing gesture based interaction. A query formulation module employs the one or more representative samples moved into the query area to provide feedback to the content based retrieval system.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for managing multiple copy versions of a source volume. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a replication record management module, a pre-pairing record management module, and a copy record module. The replication record management module is configured to maintain a current replication record that is descriptive of a current copy version of the source volume. The pre-pairing record management module is configured to maintain a future pre-pairing record that is descriptive of a future copy version of the source volume. The copy record module is configured to create a copy record from a pre-copy record. The pre-copy record may be either the current replication record or the future pre-pairing record. The apparatus, system, and method beneficially maintain multiple records to describe different states for a particular copy version and dynamically handle changes to a source pool, a target pool, or both in a data copy environment.

    摘要: A spray nozzle assembly comprising a nozzle body and a separate nozzle body insert adapted for removable snap action engagement with the body. The nozzle body insert defines a liquid flow passage that includes an inlet section for communicating with a liquid inlet, a metering orifice for accelerating the liquid flow stream, and a downstream expansion section. The body insert further includes a venturi passage communicating with the expansion section for drawing ambient air into the liquid flow stream for stabilizing the liquid prior to discharge from the nozzle. In the illustrated embodiment, the expansion chamber communicates with a transverse passage of the nozzle body, which in turn communicates with a laterally oriented discharge orifice.

    摘要: The concatenative speech synthesizer employs demi-syllable subword units to generate speech. The synthesizer is based on a source-filter model that uses source signals that correspond closely to the human glottal source and that uses filter parameters that correspond closely to the human vocal tract. Concatenation of the demi-syllable units is facilitated by two separate cross face techniques, one applied in the time domain in the demi-syllable source signal waveforms, and one applied in the frequency domain by interpolating the corresponding filter parameters of the concatenated demi-syllables. The dual cross fade technique results in natural sounding synthesis that avoids time-domain glitches without degrading or smearing characteristic resonances in the filter domain.

    摘要: An iterative formant analysis, based on minimizing the arc-length of various curves, and under various filter constraints estimates formant frequencies with desirable properties for text-to-speech applications. A class of arc-length cost functions may be employed. Some of these have analytic solutions and thus lend themselves well to applications requiring speed and reliability. The arc-length inverse filtering techniques are inherently pitch synchronous and are useful in realizing high quality pitch tracking and pitch epoch marking.

    摘要: A speech synthesizer customization system provides a mechanism for generating a hierarchical customized user database. The customization system has a template management tool for generating the templates based on customization data from a user and associated replicated dynamic synthesis data from a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesizer. The replicated dynamic synthesis data is arranged in a dynamic data structure having hierarchical levels. The customization system further includes a user database that supplements a standard database of the synthesizer. The tool populates the user database with the templates such that the templates enable the user database to uniformly override subsequently generated speech synthesis data at all hierarchical levels of the dynamic data structure.

    摘要: An environmental wind tunnel for producing air flow over an automotive vehicle includes a source of air under pressure and an elongated housing for receiving an automotive vehicle. The environmental wind tunnel has an upstream end coupled to the downstream end of the source of air under pressure, so that air is blown axially through the housing from its upstream end to its downstream end. The environmental wind tunnel also includes a large area ratio contraction with large area corner sections, large area duct work with a low angle diffuser, a large area fan, and acoustic treatments on the turning vanes, test chamber walls, and corner duct interior surfaces. In addition, in-flow acoustic absorption panels, and one or more flow conditioning screens may also be included in the environmental wind tunnel.
