Abstract: An interactive speech recognition system includes a database containing a plurality of reference terms, a list memory that receives the reference terms of category “n,” a processing circuit that populates the list memory with the reference terms corresponding to the category “n,” and a recognition circuit that processes the reference terms and terms of a spoken phrase. The recognition circuit determines if a reference term of category “n” matches a term of the spoken phrase.

Abstract: A speech recognition system is provided for selecting, via a speech input, an item from a list of items. The speech recognition system detects a first speech input, recognizes the first speech input, compares the recognized first speech input with the list of items and generates a first candidate list of best matching items based on the comparison result. The system then informs the speaker of at least one of the best matching items of the first candidate list for a selection of an item by the speaker. If the intended item is not one of the best matching items presented to the speaker, the system then detects a second speech input, recognizes the second speech input, and generates a second candidate list of best matching items taking into account the comparison result obtained with the first speech input.

Abstract: A system is provided for recognizing speech for searching a database. The system receives speech input as a spoken search request and then processes the speech input in a speech recognition step using a vocabulary for recognizing the spoken request. By processing the speech input words recognized in the speech input and included in the vocabulary are obtained to form at least one hypothesis. The hypothesis is then utilized to search a database using the at least one hypothesis as a search query. A search result is then received from the database and provided to the user.

Abstract: A speech dialog system interfaces a user to a computer. The system includes a signal pre-processor that processes a speech input to generate an enhanced signal and an analysis signal. A speech recognition unit may generate a recognition result based on the enhanced signal. A control unit may manage an output unit or an external device based on the information within the analysis signal.

Abstract: A multi-stage speech recognition system includes an audio transducer that detects a speech signal, and a sampling circuit that converts the transducer output into a digital speech signal. A spectral analysis circuit identifies a portion of the speech signal corresponding to a first class and a second class. The system includes memory storage or a database having a first and a second vocabulary list. A recognition circuit recognizes the first class based on the first vocabulary list to obtain a first recognition result. A matching circuit restricts a vocabulary list based on the first recognition result, and a recognizing circuit recognizes the second class based on the restricted vocabulary list, to obtain a second recognition result.

Abstract: In a fuel tank (1) with a plug which is to be opened, in particular, during maintenance work, a plugging part (6) is fastened in a trough-like depression (2) of the wall of the fuel tank (1) by means of a nut (7). The nut (7) has a thread (9) intended for tapping into a bead (5) of the fuel tank (1). As a result, the fuel tank (1) can be manufactured particularly cost-effectively from geometrically simple parts.

Abstract: A plastic container comprising two half-shells which are produced by means of injection molding and have parts of the components integrally formed on them during the injection molding. This does away with the need for fastening said components in the plastic container, with the result that the installation process is simplified to a considerable extent. At the same time, installation errors are largely ruled out. The plastic container is suitable for use in motor vehicles, preferably as a fuel tank.

Abstract: A filler neck for the introduction of fuel into a fuel tank of a motor vehicle is constructed of at least two interconnected injection-molded half shells, each half shell having outwardly curved regions which form a filler pipe and vent lines. Also, receptacles for valves and filters are integrally formed in the outwardly curved regions.

Abstract: A delivery device (2) for delivering fuel, having a delivery pump (3) and a fuel filter (7), has a bypass line (9) which is conducted past the fuel filter (7). When new, the delivery pump (3) delivers fuel through the fuel filter (7). After the fuel filter (7) has become clogged with dirt, the fuel is delivered by the bypass line (9) through a second fuel filter (10). By this means, pollution of the environment with fuel is kept particularly low.

Abstract: Filler neck for a fuel tank of a motor vehicle Filler necks have, as well as the filler pipe, additional lines for venting, valves and compensating reservoirs. Due to the multiplicity of individual parts and connections, filler necks involve a high outlay in terms of assembly and, because of the connections, have high fuel permeation. The new filler neck is to be easily mountable and have low permeation values.

Abstract: In the case of a filling pipe for a fuel tank a branching element is arranged in a section of the filling pipe. The flow of the inflowing fuel preferably runs along an outer wall of the filling pipe, so that a subflow is in each case conducted directly to the antisurge tower through a lower cross-sectional area. Larger volume flows, which completely fill the cross section, pass for the most part directly into the fuel tank. By this means, a sufficient basic supply of the antisurge tower is ensured irrespective of the volume flow produced during filling.

Abstract: In a fuel supply system with a main tank (1), with a splash pot (4), with a pump (7) fed from the splash pot and with connecting lines (5, 18) for the pump, according to the invention the latter is arranged in the main tank (1) outside the splash pot (4) and is connected to the latter via at least one suction line (5) integrally formed fixedly onto an inner wall (3) of the main tank. It is particularly advantageous if that portion of the forward-run line (18) which is to be connected to the pump is also integrally formed fixedly onto the inner wall, because the pump can then be fluidically connected very simply and quickly by being plugged on. As a further option, the electric connection (24-27) of the pump can also be made in one operation with the fluidic contacting.
