  • Patent number: 12102727
    Abstract: A continuous decontamination-and-sterilization device possessing high efficiency, reliability, and safety of operation to treat external surfaces of a package that is conveyed to a sterile working chamber. A decontamination chamber decontaminates (with a decontamination agent) bottom and lateral external surfaces of the package conveyed by a first conveyance, with an upper surface seal portion of the package being sealed. An aeration chamber removes residue of decontamination agent from an external surface of the package while the package is conveyed by a second conveyance means. A sterilization chamber sterilizes the upper surface seal portion of the package by irradiating electron beams as the package is conveyed by a third conveyance means, with the bottom or lateral external surface of the package being supported.

  • Patent number: 8401847
    Abstract: An unknown word is additionally registered in a speech recognition dictionary by utilizing a correction result, and a new pronunciation of the word that has been registered in a speech recognition dictionary is additionally registered in the speech recognition dictionary, thereby increasing the accuracy of speech recognition. The start time and finish time of each phoneme unit in speech data corresponding to each phoneme included in a phoneme sequence acquired by a phoneme sequence converting section 13 are added to the phoneme sequence. A phoneme sequence extracting section 15 extracts from the phoneme sequence a phoneme sequence portion composed of phonemes existing in a segment corresponding to the period from the start time to the finish time of the word segment of the word corrected by a word correcting section 9 and the extracted phoneme sequence portion is determined as the pronunciation of the corrected word.

  • Patent number: 7848926
    Abstract: A speech recognition system is provided where a user may more efficiently and easily correct a recognition error resulting from speech recognition. The system compares multiple inputted words with multiple stored words and determines a most-competitive word candidate. The system selects one or more competitive words that have competitive probabilities close to the competitive probability of the most-competitive word candidate and displays the one or more competitive words adjacent to the most-competitive word candidate. The system selects an appropriate correction word from the one or more competitive words and replaces one of the most competitive word candidate with the correction word.

  • Patent number: 5975798
    Abstract: A method for the in-situ remediation of contaminants including soluble metals more noble than iron and halogenated hydrocarbons that are present in groundwater, absorbed to soil, and exist in the free product state in a soil volume. An inert pressurized gas in combination with an atomized iron powder-water slurry is used to inject pre-determined quantities of reactive zero valent iron powder relative to the quantity of contaminants present in the soil for obtaining preselected rates of remediation with minimum quantities of iron powder and with reaction products within a preferred acidic pH range. Features, such as particle surface area and carbon content, are identified that enhance the reactivity of the iron powder.
