Publication number: 20100211396Abstract: A digital speech enabled middleware module is disclosed that facilitates interaction between a large number of client devices and network-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) resources. The module buffers feature vectors associated with speech received from the client devices when the number of client devices is greater than the available ASR resources. When an ASR decoder becomes available, the module transmits the feature vectors to the ASR decoder and a recognition result is returned.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2010Publication date: August 19, 2010Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property II, LP via transfer from AT&T Corp.Inventors: Iker Arizmendi, Sarangarajan Parthasarathy, Richard Cameron Rose

Patent number: 7620509Abstract: A frequency hopping pattern of a frequency hopping signal is detected by use of spectrogram-generating software in a digital storage oscilloscope. By using a spectrogram, a hopping pattern can be determined without having to demodulate the signal, recover the phase or frequency of the carrier, determine optimal sample timing, or determine system timing. A block of data that contains at least one repetition of the hopping pattern in analyzed with respect to known hopping patterns as well as with respect to the duration in time of the relevant symbols of that data.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Tektronix, Inc.Inventor: Richard A.

Publication number: 20090006088Abstract: Speech recognition models are dynamically re-configurable based on user information, application information, background information such as background noise and transducer information such as transducer response characteristics to provide users with alternate input modes to keyboard text entry. Word recognition lattices are generated for each data field of an application and dynamically concatenated into a single word recognition lattice. A language model is applied to the concatenated word recognition lattice to determine the relationships between the word recognition lattices and repeated until the generated word recognition lattices are acceptable or differ from a predetermined value only by a threshold amount. These techniques of dynamic re-configurable speech recognition provide for deployment of speech recognition on small devices such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants as well environments such as office, home or vehicle while maintaining the accuracy of the speech recognition.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2008Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: AT&T Corp.Inventors: Bojana Gajic, Shrikanth Sambasivan Narayanan, Sarangarajan Parthasarathy, Richard Cameron Rose, Aaron Edward Rosenberg

Patent number: 7386443Abstract: A system and method of updating automatic speech recognition parameters on a mobile device are disclosed. The method comprises storing user account-specific adaptation data associated with ASR on a computing device associated with a wireless network, generating new ASR adaptation parameters based on transmitted information from the mobile device when a communication channel between the computing device and the mobile device becomes available and transmitting the new ASR adaptation data to the mobile device when a communication channel between the computing device and the mobile device becomes available. The new ASR adaptation data on the mobile device more accurately recognizes user utterances.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2004Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: AT&T Corp.Inventors: Sarangarajan Parthasarathy, Richard Cameron Rose

Publication number: 20070114196Abstract: A retractable hanging apparatus that includes an engagement structure, such as a bar, upon which an article is hung or secured, with the engagement structure being suspended by one or more lines that are attached to a roller assembly rotatably mounted between two brackets. The roller assembly may be mounted to brackets alone or disposed inside a housing structure. The line or lines are secured to a roller assembly so that the article may be lowered to a particular height or may be elevated as desired. A braking system for preventing sudden retraction of the lines also is described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2007Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventors: Richard Cameron, Stephen Pagnucco, Douglas Gratzer
