Abstract: An object is to provide a technique which can provide a highly valid recognition result while preventing unnecessary processing. A voice recognition device includes first to third voice recognition units, and a control unit. When it is decided based on recognition results obtained by the first and second voice recognition units to cause the third voice recognition unit to recognize an input voice, the control unit causes the third voice recognition unit to recognize the input voice by using a dictionary including a candidate character string obtained by at least one of the first and second voice recognition units.

Abstract: A recognition dictionary creation device identifies the language of a reading of an inputted text which is a target to be registered and adds a reading with phonemes in the language identified thereby to the target text to be registered, and also converts the reading of the target text to be registered from the phonemes in the language identified thereby to phonemes in a language to be recognized which is handled in voice recognition to create a recognition dictionary in which the converted reading of the target text to be registered is registered.

Abstract: A light source section outputs optical flux having two types of wavelength, which are a short wavelength and a long wavelength, while the intensity is made variable. The output from the first light intensity detecting section in irradiating the optical flux having a short wavelength is compared with the output from the first light intensity detecting section in irradiating the optical flux having a long wavelength. A disappearance level near a point where the detected signal from the internal subject disappears is calculated. The first intensity of optical flux having a long wavelength is set to level higher than the disappearance level. Based on the output from the first light intensity detecting section obtained by the optical flux having a long wavelength of the first intensity, a subject inside the body to be detected is measured.

Abstract: A light source section outputs optical flux having two types of wavelength, which are a short wavelength and a long wavelength, while the intensity is made variable. The optical flux is made incident to a detected surface of a body to be detected at a predetermined incident angle simultaneously or alternatively. Based on a type of optical flux outputted from the light source section and an output from a first light intensity detecting section, at least the intensity of the optical flux having a long wavelength outputted from the light source section is adjusted. The output from the first light intensity detecting section in irradiating the optical flux having a short wavelength is compared with the output from the first light intensity detecting section in irradiating the optical flux having a long wavelength.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus of inspecting the surface of a wafer, where two or more kinds of laser are switched or mixed to make the laser incident on the film-coated wafer by a same incident angle, in which inspection data regarding an inspection apparatus and film parameters regarding a film are stored in storage means of the inspection apparatus in an associated state with each other so as to obtain predetermined inspection conditions. When performing each measurement, an operator sets the film parameters of the wafer to be measured by setting means of the inspection apparatus. Thus, desired inspection conditions are automatically set in the inspection apparatus. The film parameters that the operator sets at each measurement are a film thickness and a film refraction index.
