An exception dictionary creating device, an exception dictionary creating method, and a program therefor allowing creating an exception dictionary are provided for affording high speech recognition performance while reducing the size of the exception dictionary, as well as a speech recognition device and a speech recognition method capable of recognizing a speech with high accuracy of recognition by using the exception dictionary. To achieve this, a text-to-phonetic symbol converting unit (21) of an exception dictionary creating device (10) creates converted phonetic symbol sequence by converting text sequence of vocabulary list data (21) into phonetic symbol sequence. A recognition degradation contribution degree calculating unit (24) calculates a recognition degradation contribution degree when the converted phonetic symbol sequence is not identical to a correct phonetic symbol sequence registered in a database or word dictionary (50). An exception dictionary registering unit (41) registers in the exception dictionary (60) the text sequence and the phonetic symbol sequence registered in the text sequence of the vocabulary list data (12) with a high degree of recognition degradation contribution degree to the recognition so as not to exceed data limitation capacity indicated by exception dictionary memory size content (71).

A slicer for a decision feedback error equalizer system that processes trellis encoded data using the ATSC trellis code is implemented in two parts. A first part includes a trellis decoder that estimates a single bit of the symbol. The second part includes two partial trellis decoders. A multiplexer directs the received digital samples to one of the two trellis decoders responsive to the estimated symbol. An alternative slicer estimates two bits of the output symbols and selects from among four decoders to fully decode the symbols. The slicer is used in an equalizer having adaptive filters that may operate either on passband or baseband signals. The slicer is used both to recover the carrier signal on which the symbols are modulated and to provide symbols to the second filter that are used to determine filter coefficients for the second filter.

Systems and methods for managing congestion in a network are disclosed. One method can comprise establishing a connection between a first network device and a second network device, wherein the first network device has an associated data limiter value such as a congestion window (CWND). The size of the CWND can be modified, for example, at a first rate, when no congestion is detected. In response to the congestion window size exceeding a threshold value associated with the connection, the size of the CWND can be modified based on round trip time (RTT) associated with the connection. If congestion on the connection is detected, the congestion window size can be modified to a value based on at least in part the bandwidth and RTT of the connection between the first network device and the second network device.

A method for minimizing latency of data transfer between the redundant storage controllers in a network-based storage controller system that utilizes adaptive data throttling. Each redundant storage controller monitors latency for round trip communications between the redundant controllers by calculating a time required to mirror a write to the other controller and receive a write acknowledge. An average latency for round trip communications between the redundant controllers during a fixed monitoring period is calculated, and at the end of each fixed monitoring period, the average latency is compared to a fixed latency to access the average time latency for mirroring writes is good, acceptable or unacceptable. If the average time latency is good, the one controller reduces or disables throttling for data transfers between the one controller and the server, and between the one controller and back-end storage, increasing a number of this type of data transfer that can be executed in parallel. If the average time latency is acceptable, the one controller does not adjust throttling for data transfers between the one controller and the server, and between the one controller and back-end storage. If the average time latency is unacceptable, the one controller increases data throttling for data transfers between the one controller and the server, and between the controller and the back-end storage, decreasing a number of this type of data transfer that can be executed in parallel.

In a chromatic point sensor, distance measurements are based on a distance-indicating subset of intensity profile data, which is selected in a manner that varies with a determined peak position index coordinate (PPIC) of the profile data. The PPIC indexes the position a profile data peak. For profile data having a particular PPIC, the distance-indicating subset of the profile data is selected based on particular index-specific data-limiting parameters that are indexed with that same particular PPIC. In various embodiments, each set of index-specific data-limiting parameters indexed with a particular PPIC characterizes a distance-indicating subset of data that was used during distance calibration operations corresponding to profile data having that PPIC. Distance-indicating subsets of data may be compensated to be similar to a corresponding distance-indicating subset of data that was used during calibration operations, regardless of overall intensity variations and detector bias signal level variations.

The invention belongs to the technical field of building deformation measurement, and specially relates to a method for detecting the verticality of a high tower based on three-dimensional laser scanning. The method comprises the steps: 1), enabling the horizontal distance between a fixed instrument and a tower not to be less than 3/2 of the height of the tower, and obtaining the body point cloud data of a 1/3 circular segment of the vertical projection of the tower; 2), building a 1/3 circular body TIN model, carrying out the fitting of the upper and lower centers of the circular tower, and extracting the section of the tower; 3), calculating the central coordinates of the section of the circular tower, wherein any three non-collinear points on the section can determine a unique circular plane; 4), calculating the longitudinal and lateral inclined components and slope of the tower through the obtained central coordinates of the bottom and top of the circular tower. The method irons out the defects that a conventional verticality detection method for the high tower is difficult in outdoor operation, is difficult in precision control, consumes a large amount of time and manpower, is poor in target data accuracy and is big in data limitation. The method can achieve the detection of the verticality of the high tower quickly at high precision, and has important significance to the detection and monitoring of the similar projects.

The coexistence of multiple radio systems may depend on the ability of a terminal device to limit interference among competing systems. In a method, a system may detect a potential for interference between a transmitting subsystem of a terminal and a receiving subsystem of a terminal. The method may also include buffering transmission by the transmitting subsystem of the terminal so as to lower a duty cycle of the transmitting subsystem.

An approach to queuing data at a network switching node includes assigning a queue value such as a priority value or a weight to each of a plurality of queues which temporarily store data packets to be forwarded toward a link on the network. A bandwidth value related to a maximum amount of data to be transferred on the link is defined. A data limit value is assigned to each of the queues to limit the amount of data that can be forwarded from each queue. The data limit value is derived from the bandwidth value for the link. By placing bandwidth-related limits on the queues, low-priority queues are prevented from being dominated by high-priority queues, that is, low-priority queues are not prevented from forwarding their data by the priority structure. Also, the bandwidth-related limits allow for control of traffic flow to prevent overloading lower-capacity links on the network.
