Abstract: Methods and systems directed to telephone number retrieval are provided. A terminal requests a telephone number from a telephone number service. A voice response comprising the telephone number is received from the telephone number service. A feature vector sequence is stored in memory of the terminal as a reference pattern for the received voice response. The voice response has designated words between and among numbers of the telephone number. A keyword spotting routine searches for the designated words. Connecting words, located between and among designated words, comprising the telephone number are extracted and stored in a buffer. A number recognizer analyzes contents of the buffer. The number recognizer outputs a recognized telephone number for display on a terminal and/or storage in memory for future use.

Abstract: In a formants extracting method capable of precisely obtaining formants as resonance frequencies of voice with less computational complexity, the method includes searching a maximum value by a spectral peak-picking method, judging whether the number of formants corresponding to a zero at the obtained maximum point are two, and analyzing a pertinent root by roots polishing when the number of the formants are judged as two. The number of the formants are judged by applying Cauchy's integral formula, wherein Cauchy's integral formula is not applied repeatedly but only once at a surrounding portion of the maximum value in a z-domain.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for reducing power consumption in a mobile communication device is accomplished by removing power from the display when the display is not visible to the user of the device. Specifically, contact between the face of the user and the device or between two or more portions of the device is detected to determine that the display is not visible to the user.

Abstract: A color cathode-ray tube includes a panel having a fluorescent screen on its inside, a funnel which is coupled to the panel and has a cone portion at which a deflection yoke is installed, an electron gun which is installed in a neck portion of the funnel, and a shadow mask frame assembly which is installed at the inside of the panel and includes a shadow mask and a frame. The shadow mask includes an apertured portion which has a plurality of electron beam passage holes, an imperforate portion which extends from and surrounds a periphery of the apertured portion, and a skirt portion which is bent from a periphery of the imperforate portion and has a plurality of etched portions and embossments that are formed in the skirt portion. The frame is partially welded to the skirt portion of the shadow mask to support the shadow mask.
