Patent number: 8352263Abstract: The invention can recognize all languages and input words. It needs m unknown voices to represent m categories of known words with similar pronunciations. Words can be pronounced in any languages, dialects or accents. Each will be classified into one of m categories represented by its most similar unknown voice. When user pronounces a word, the invention finds its F most similar unknown voices. All words in F categories represented by F unknown voices will be arranged according to their pronunciation similarity and alphabetic letters. The pronounced word should be among the top words. Since we only find the F most similar unknown voices from m (=500) unknown voices and since the same word can be classified into several categories, our recognition method is stable for all users and can fast and accurately recognize all languages (English, Chinese and etc.) and input much more words without using samples.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Inventors: Tze-Fen Li, Tai-Jan Lee Li, Shih-Tzung Li, Shih-Hon Li, Li-Chuan Liao

Publication number: 20120116764Abstract: A speech recognition method on all sentences in all languages is provided. A sentence can be a word, name or sentence. All sentences are represented by E×P=12×12 matrices of linear predict coding cepstra (LPCC) 1000 different voices are transformed into 1000 matrices of LPCC to represent 1000 databases. E×P matrices of known sentences after deletion of time intervals between two words are put into their closest databases. To classify an unknown sentence, use the distance to find its F closest databases and then from known sentences in its F databases, find a known sentence to be the unknown one. The invention needs no samples and can find a sentence in one second using Visual Basic. Any person without training can immediately and freely communicate with computer in any language. It can recognize up to 7200 English words, 500 sentences of any language and 500 Chinese words.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2010Publication date: May 10, 2012Inventors: Tze Fen Li, Tai-Jan Lee Li, Shih-Tzung Li, Shih-Hon Li, Li-Chuan Liao

Patent number: 8160866Abstract: The present invention can recognize both English and Chinese at the same time. The most important skill is that the features of all English words (without samples) are entirely extracted from the features of Chinese syllables. The invention normalizes the signal waveforms of variable lengths for English words (Chinese syllables) such that the same words (syllables) can have the same features at the same time position. Hence the Bayesian classifier can recognize both the fast and slow utterance of sentences. The invention can improve the feature such that the speech recognition of the unknown English (Chinese) is guaranteed to be correct. Furthermore, since the invention can create the features of English words from the features of Chinese syllables, it can also create the features of other languages from the features of Chinese syllables and hence it can also recognize other languages, such as German, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, etc.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2008Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Inventors: Tze Fen Li, Tai-Jan Lee Li, Shih-Tzung Li, Shih-Hon Li, Li-Chuan Liao

Patent number: 8145483Abstract: The invention can recognize any several languages at the same time without using samples. The important skill is that features of known words in any language are extracted from unknown words or continuous voices. These unknown words represented by matrices are spread in the 144-dimensional space. The feature of a known word of any language represented by a matrix is simulated by the surrounding unknown words. The invention includes 12 elastic frames of equal length without filter and without overlap to normalize the signal waveform of variable length for a word, which has one to several syllables, into a 12×12 matrix as a feature of the word. The invention can improve the feature such that the speech recognition of an unknown sentence is correct. The invention can correctly recognize any languages without samples, such as English, Chinese, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Cantonese, Taiwanese, etc.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2009Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Inventors: Tze Fen Li, Tai-Jan Lee Li, Shih-Tzung Li, Shih-Hon Li, Li-Chuan Liao

Publication number: 20080241433Abstract: An artificial hedge structure (10) comprising at least two panels, with each panel having a multiplicity of equidistant vertical members (26) and a multiplicity of equidistant horizontal spacers (28). A hinge assembly (44) comprising four hinge tabs (46), a hinge pin (50) and vertical spacers (52) is located between a first panel (12) and a second panel (42). The hinge assembly (44) allows the two panels to be positioned at an angle to each other, and allows multiple panels to be positioned in various shapes such as square or circular. Integrally attached to each panel's vertical member (26) and extending outward from the front and rear surfaces (78,80) are a multiplicity of needle clusters (60). Each cluster (60) has a plurality of resilient needles (66) that extend upward from a lower surface (62). Extending into the lower surface (62) is a cavity (64) that interfaces with a pin (40) that extends outward from the vertical members (26).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2007Publication date: October 2, 2008Inventor: Wing Hon Li

Publication number: 20080176482Abstract: A decorative structure (10) comprising a body section (12), a head section (14), at least two appendage sections (16), and a multiplicity of body fur clusters (18). The body section (12), head section (14) and at least two appendage sections (16) are each formed over a three-dimensional lattice frame (20) that is constructed of a multiplicity of longitudinal members (24) that are spaced by a multiplicity of integral lateral member (22). Extending outward from the three-dimensional lattice frames (20) are a multiplicity of pins (28). Each body fur cluster (18) is comprised of a lower surface (34) having a cavity (36), and a plurality of resilient needles (38) that extend upward from the lower surface (34). The upward-extending pins (28) are designed to frictionally fit into the cavity (36) on the lower surface (34). Once all the clusters (18) are attached to the pins (28), the structure (10) will have an enveloping fur-like appearance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2007Publication date: July 24, 2008Inventor: Wing Hon Li
