Verification of Caller identification, used independently of caller ID or as an adjunct to caller ID for caller verification by matching caller voice samples to voice samples previously stored. Verification algorithms can be implemented as a stand alone device connected to the telephone line or the interne, in software which can be a resident on a PSTN phone, mobile phone or an IP phone or resident on a computer. Voice samples of the current caller are recorded and compared a database of previously recorded voice samples. When a call is received for the first time, the caller records the caller's name which is stored into a database and correlated with the received caller ID information of the present caller, if such information was received. If no caller ID information is received, the voice sample is stored in the database with an indication of a lack of caller ID information. The collection and storage of voice samples allows the use of such samples for voice authentication if the caller calls again. When a caller calls again, the caller records the caller's name as the current caller's voice sample which is compared to the stored database. The enhanced accuracy will aid in acceptance and rejection decisions as well as decisions regarding the handling of incoming telephone calls and will aid in the retrieval of additional information regarding the caller if available.

A projection screen comprises a cholesteric liquid crystalline, polarized-light selective reflection layer for selectively diffuse-reflecting a specific polarized-light component. The polarized-light selective reflection layer has, on its observation-side surface, a roughened part for controlling the direction of interfacial reflection of imaging light that is projected on the polarized-light selective reflection layer. Imaging light (right-handed circularly polarized light in the selective reflection wave range) projected on the projection screen from a projector enters the polarized-light selective reflection layer and is diffuse-reflected inside this layer owing to the scattering property of the layer; this light is diffused as diffuse-reflected light, in directions included in an approximately constant range. On the other hand, part of the right-handed circularly polarized light projected on the projection screen from the projector is reflected, by interfacial reflection, from the inclined planes of the roughened part provided on the viewer side surface of the polarized-light selective reflection layer. The reflected light emerges from the polarized-light selective reflection layer in a direction different from the main direction in which the light diffuse-reflected from the polarized-light selective reflection layer emerges and returns to the observation side as light reflected by interfacial reflection.

The public schema (406), private schema (408) and grammar (410) may include conversion rules applicable to less than the whole of a subject matter area including the input stream (403).

The present invention provides a projection screen capable of sharply displaying an image by minimizing the influence of phase differences that are produced when light is slantingly incident on a polarized-light selective reflection layer having a cholesteric liquid crystalline structure, and of providing high image visibility. A projection screen includes: a polarized-light selective reflection layer having a cholesteric liquid crystalline structure, capable of selectively reflecting a specific polarized-light component; and a substrate that supports the polarized-light selective reflection layer. The cholesteric liquid crystalline structure of the polarized-light selective reflection layer contains a plurality of helical-structure parts that are different in direction of helical axis, and, owing to structural non-uniformity in the cholesteric liquid crystalline structure, the polarized-light selective reflection layer diffuses light (imaging light) that is selectively reflected. In the cholesteric liquid crystalline structure of the polarized-light selective reflection layer, the helical pitch on the side farther from the imaging-light-incident side is longer than that on the side closer to the imaging-light-incident side.
