Abstract:
A safety carrier includes a body (100) in which a storage space is formed, a communication unit (110) which is accommodated in the body (100) and receives a control signal from an external terminal device (200), a sensing unit (120) which detects a front surface and a rear surface of the body (100) based on a direction in which the body (100) lies, a control unit (130) which performs control so that a color, a blinking method, a state, and the like of a display unit (140) positioned to be exposed at an outer surface of the body (100) are displayed on the front surface detected by the sensing unit (120) based on the control signal input to the communication unit (110), and a battery unit (150) accommodated in the body (100) and electrically connected to the display unit (140).
Abstract:
A Viterbi decoder includes: an observation vector sequence generator for generating an observation vector sequence by converting an input speech to a sequence of observation vectors; a local optimal state calculator for obtaining a partial state sequence having a maximum similarity up to a current observation vector as an optimal state; an observation probability calculator for obtaining, as a current observation probability, a probability for observing the current observation vector in the optimal state; a buffer for storing therein a specific number of previous observation probabilities; a non-linear filter for calculating a filtered probability by using the previous observation probabilities stored in the buffer and the current observation probability; and a maximum likelihood calculator for calculating a partial maximum likelihood by using the filtered probability. The filtered probability may be a maximum value, a mean value or a median value of the previous observation probabilities and the current observation probability.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for low power operation of a binaural hearing aid, the method including determining whether a residual battery exceeds a predetermined threshold level, collecting an external audio signal, in response to whether the residual battery exceeds the predetermined threshold level, and transmitting the collected audio signal to a second hearing aid.
Abstract:
A convenient airplane seat system having a modified seat arrangement to reduce contact and interference between adjacent passengers. In the airplane seat system, a plurality of seats, each having a seat part, a backrest part, and armrests, are arranged in lines on a frame, and one line of seats is higher than other lines of seats by a predetermined length, and said one line is further forward than the other lines of seats by a predetermined distance.
Abstract:
A metadata search apparatus using speech recognition includes a metadata processor for processing contents metadata to obtain allomorph of target vocabulary required for speech recognition and search; a metadata storage unit for storing the contents metadata; a speech recognizer for performing speech recognition on speech data uttered by a user by searching the allomorph of the target vocabulary; a query language processor for extracting a keyword from the vocabulary speech-recognized by the speech recognizer; and a search processor for searching the metadata storage unit to extract the contents metadata corresponding to the keyword. An IPTV receiving apparatus employs the metadata search apparatus to provide IPTV services through the functions of speech recognition.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for ultra wideband (UWB) communication, using a dual band pass filter (BPF) is disclosed. The UWB communication apparatus may include a first BPF performing a first band pass filtering with respect to a UWB signal, a second BPF that has a center frequency differing from a center frequency of the first BPF, and performs a second band pass filtering with respect to the UWB signal, a first envelope detector that detects a size of a first signal filtered in the first BPF, a second envelope detector that detects a size of a second signal filtered in the second BPF, and a demodulator that demodulates a UWB signal, using the size of the first signal and the size of the second signal.
Abstract:
A passive auxiliary condensing apparatus of a nuclear power plant includes a steam generation unit configured to heat a water supplied thereto into a steam by a heat produced when operating a nuclear reactor, a water cooled heat exchange unit connected to the steam generation unit and configured to store a cooling water therein to condense the steam provided from the steam generation unit, and a steam-water separation tank including a first side connected to the water cooled heat exchange unit and a second side connected to the steam generation unit, wherein a mixture of a water and a steam provided from the water cooled heat exchange unit is separated into the water and the steam to provide only the water to the steam generation unit.
