  • Patent number: 7144962
    Abstract: A method for the surface treatment of rubber, a process for production of a rubber article, and a rubber composition wherein a structure derived from a fluorine compound containing a fluoroalkyl at both ends of its molecule are joined to a polymer main chain of crosslinked rubber in the vicinity of the surface of a rubber base (molding). The method involves causing the fluorine compound and a silane coupling agent to exist in the vicinity of the surface of a rubber base, and heat-treating the rubber base. The production process comprises compounding and mixing raw rubber and a silane coupling agent to obtaining a molding of crosslinked rubber and heating the molding. The rubber composition contains raw rubber, a crosslinking agent, the fluorine compound and a silane coupling agent.

  • Patent number: 6353809
    Abstract: A computer reads a voice speech recognition program from a first recording medium, and reads voice data from a second recording medium, and causes a CPU in the computer to recognize speech represented by the read voice data according to the speech recognition program, convert the result of speech recognition into text data, and display the converted text data on a display unit. A check mark button used by a speaker designates a portion of voice data, which is input through a microphone, corresponding to an unnecessary word or the like. The portion of the voice data in which a check mark is inscribed is not regarded as an object of speech recognition. Only the other portion of voice data in which the check mark is not inscribed is regarded as an object of speech recognition, and speech recognition is thus carried out. Furthermore, the sound level of a voice portion of voice data is rated. The gain of the voice data is adjusted according to the rated level.
