摘要:
This invention relates to a method for the production of unsaturated carboxylic acid esters. More particularly, this invention relates to a method for efficient production of a corresponding ester from an acrylic acid or methacrylic acid (hereinafter referred to collectively as "(meth)acrylic acid") by the reaction of the (meth)acrylic acid with an aliphatic alcohol of 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the presence of a strongly acidic cation-exchange resin catalyst.

The present invention provides an information processing apparatus including combination generating means for getting a first feature quantity of N dimensions, N being an integer of at least two, from first information prepared for execution of learning and use the first feature quantity of N dimensions to generate at least two of a first feature quantity combination that are not greater than N dimensions of the first feature quantity; and learning processing executing means for computing a correlation coefficient between the plurality of first feature quantity combinations generated by the combination generating means and a learning model feature quantity matching each dimension of the plurality of first feature quantity combinations and, by use of the first correlation coefficient, classify the first information, thereby executing learning processing for classifying predetermined second information.
摘要:
Sentences corresponding to internal statuses of a robot device or the like are created and uttered, thereby expressing the internal statuses. The robot device or the like comprise means for recognizing an external status, and means for generating an emotion based on the internals status, whereby a change in the emotion is reflected upon a dialogue. The internal status is not associated with a sentence, but it exists independently of the system and is always varied depending on various external inputs and internal changes of the system. Accordingly, even when the same question is made on the robot device or the like, the contents of a reply are changed depending on the internal status at that time, and a manner of providing a reply also differs depending on the internal status.

A robot system includes a speech recognition unit for converting speech information into text information, and a database retrieval unit for extracting a keyword included in the text information from a database. By designating a plurality of basic actions on a speech basis, and storing an action record, a combined action formed by combining the plurality of basic actions in time-series order can be named as a new action only in voice-based interaction. A user can designate complicated continuous actions by using only one word, and can easily have a conversation with the robot.

On a substrate of n-type GaAs are sequentially formed an n-type cladding layer (AlGaAs, Al content x=0.07, thickness t=2.86 &mgr;m), an n-type optical waveguide layer (GaAs, t=0.49 &mgr;m), an n-type carrier blocking layer (AlGaAs, x=0.40, t=0.03 &mgr;m), an active layer (composed of an In0.18Ga0.82As quantum well layer and a GaAs barrier layer), a p-type carrier blocking layer (AlGaAs, x=0.40, t=0.03 &mgr;m), a p-type optical waveguide layer (GaAs, t=0.49 &mgr;m), a p-type cladding layer (AlGaAs, x=0.20, t=1.08 &mgr;m), and a p-type cap layer (GaAs) in which a pair of n-type current blocking layers (GaAs) are buried. With this construction, the occurrence of a wavelength spit due to a higher-order mode can be inhibited thereby stabilizing a higher power operation.

In a self-aligned structure semiconductor laser in which a pair of optical guide layers are respectively formed on both faces of an active layer, the optical guide layers having a bandgap which is wider than that of the active layer, a pair of cladding layers are formed so as to sandwich the active layer and the optical guide layers, the cladding layers having a bandgap which is wider than bandgap of the optical guide layers, a pair of carrier blocking layers are respectively formed between the active layer and the optical guide layers, the carrier blocking layers having a bandgap which is wider than bandgaps of the active layer and the optical guide layers, and a current blocking layer having a stripe-like window is embedded in at least one of the optical guide layers, the current blocking layer is formed by selective growth. In this way, a window of a current blocking layer can be accurately formed and the fabrication yield can be improved while avoiding maleffects on other layers.

An image processing apparatus includes a face-image detector configured to detect a region of a face image from an image supplied thereto; a face-direction detector configured to detect a direction that a face in the detected face image is facing; a feature-position detector configured to detect feature positions corresponding to features of the face from the detected face image and the detected face direction; a feature-value calculator configured to calculate feature values at the detected feature positions; a mapper configured to map the calculated feature values using predetermined mapping functions; and a recognizer configured to recognize whether the detected face is a registered face, using the mapped feature values and feature values registered in advance.
摘要:
Conventional robot apparatus etc. can not perform name-learning naturally. Learning the name of an object is performed such a manner that the name of a target object is obtained through dialog with a human being, the name is stored in association with plural items of different characteristic data detected for the target object, and a new object is recognized based on the stored data and associative information, the name and characteristic data of the new person are obtained and this associative information is stored.
