Abstract: A guided frame matching technique may be employed in which a graphical projection of a fixator is used to guide and assist a user in identifying fixator elements within an image. Upon being overlaid on an image, the graphical projection of fixator may be manipulated to align with, and overlay, fixator elements displayed within the image. Additionally, a three-dimensional overview of an imaging scene of the fixator may be generated. The three-dimensional overview may include a three-dimensional graphical model that displays representations of images of the fixator attached to anatomical structure segments as well as representations of imaging sources, reference locations, fixator elements, and anatomical structure segments. When the images are not truly orthogonal, a modified second image representation may be displayed to represent a second image that is truly orthogonal to a first image.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to methods for generating a multilingual acoustic model. A main acoustic model comprising a main acoustic model having probability distribution functions and a probabilistic state sequence model including first states is provided to a processor. At least one second acoustic model including probability distribution functions and a probabilistic state sequence model including states is also provided to the processor. The processor replaces each of the probability distribution functions of the at least one second acoustic model by one of the probability distribution functions and/or each of the states of the probabilistic state sequence model of the at least one second acoustic model with the state of the probabilistic state sequence model of the main acoustic model based on a criteria set to obtain at least one modified second acoustic model. The criteria set may be a distance measurement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for speech recognition of a speech signal comprising the steps of providing at least one codebook comprising codebook entries, in particular, multivariate Gaussians of feature vectors, that are frequency weighted such that higher weights are assigned to entries corresponding to frequencies below a predetermined level than to entries corresponding to frequencies above the predetermined level and processing the speech signal for speech recognition comprising extracting at least one feature vector from the speech signal and matching the feature vector with the entries of the codebook.

Abstract: The present application relates to novel tetrahydrobenzo[d]azepin-2-one derivatives, processes for their preparation, their use for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases, and their use for producing medicaments for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases, preferably for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular disorders, especially of dyslipidaemias, arteriosclerosis, restenosis and ischaemias.

Abstract: Examples of methods are provided for generating a multilingual codebook. According to an example method, a main language codebook and at least one additional codebook corresponding to a language different from the main language are provided. A multilingual codebook is generated from the main language codebook and the at least one additional codebook by adding a sub-set of code vectors of the at least one additional codebook to the main codebook based on distances between the code vectors of the at least one additional codebook to code vectors of the main language codebook. Systems and methods for speech recognition using the multilingual codebook and applications that use speech recognition based on the multilingual codebook are also provided.

Abstract: A multimedia device for a motor vehicle includes a housing that defines a recess sized to accept a multimedia player. The multimedia player includes a front loading side through which recording media is loaded into and removed from the multimedia player. The multimedia player is pivotally fastened to housing so said multimedia player may pivot out from said housing at an angle of at least 90°. The multimedia device is preferably situated in the center console or mounted the front seats of the vehicle. Consequently, the front loading side of the multimedia player can be swung forward or backward in the vehicle, thus allowing the multimedia player to be operated conveniently both from either the front or rear seats. In addition, the multimedia player can conveniently be loaded and unloaded with recording media from either the front or rear seats.
