摘要:
Apparatus and method for recording data in a speech recognition system and recognizing spoken data corresponding to the recorded data. The apparatus and method responds to entered data by generating a string of phonetic transcriptions from the entered data. The data and generated phonetic transcription string associated therewith is recorded in a vocabulary lexicon of the speech recognition system. The apparatus and method responds to receipt of spoken data by constructing a model of subwords characteristic of the spoken data and compares the constructed subword model with ones of the recorded lexicon vocabulary recorded phonetic transcription strings to recognize the spoken data as the data identified by and associated with a phonetic transcription string matching the constructed subword string.

A tele-presence system that includes a remote device coupled to a control station through a communication link. The remote device includes a remote monitor, a remote camera, a remote speaker and a remote microphone. Likewise, the control station includes a station monitor, a station camera, a station speaker and a station microphone. The control station displays a plurality of graphical icons that each represents a different type of communication link between the control station and the remote device. The graphical icons can be selected to allow a user of the control station to change the communication link between the remote device and its initial node.
摘要:
Mechanical coupling apparatus for a position locating system comprises a force sensing device (504). One extremity of the coupling apparatus is joined to a rigid body (506) which may be fixed. A plate or a visual display screen (501) having a surface (501a or 501b) exposed to the application of a localized force is joined to the other extremity of the coupling apparatus. The force sensing device senses force changes which are proportionately related to the localized force (F) applied to the exposed surface of the plate or visual display screen. The force is sensed through a predetermined point of action (510) of the coupling apparatus. In order to decrease error, the point of action (510) is in substantially the same plane as the exposed surface of the plate or screen. The coupling apparatus provides support to the plate or screen (501) without creating any undesirable moments.

A method and apparatus for retrieving, accessing, and storing medical data relating to a patient during a medical procedure. The invention provides a single interface to many disparate forms of medical data, which is accessible over a local area network, wide area network, direct connection, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, an operating room control system for use during a medical procedure on a patient includes an input device, a display device, and a controller that is coupled to the input device and the display device. The controller receives one or more user inputs, transmits a command to a server located outside of the operating room to retrieve medical data, receives the medical data from the server, and displays the medical data on the display device.
摘要:
A position locating system for calculating the coordinates of a localized force applied to a surface (101a) has force sensing devices (101, 501, or 501a) for supporting the surface (101a). The force sensing devices provide force proportional electrical signals to a processing system (512) for calculating the position of the localized force applied to the surface. In order to provide samples of the dynamic alternating current characteristics of the force proportional electrical signals to the processing system, the improvement comprises an alternating coupling circuit (508) associated with each force sensing device. The alternating current coupling circuit accentuates the common dynamic frequency characteristics of the variety of forces presented to the system. The sample collection circuit (511) of processing system (512) sequentially collects samples (401a) of the force proportional electric signal from each AC coupling circuit (508). The samples are collected either until a predetermined interval of time lapses (402) or until the second zero crossing (403) of one electrical signal sample is detected, whichever event occurs first. The calculating circuit ( 512a) of the processing system averages the samples before calculating the coordinates of the point of application of the localized force. The calculating circuit also automatically adapts to a changing environment by establishing an average reference level for each force sensing device during a quiescent state condition prior to the collection of force samples.
摘要:
During a training sequence, a speaker-trained speech recognizer detects and signals the speaker when vocabulary word pairs are potentially confusing to the recognizer. Each vocabulary word is converted into feature signals and then parameters representing a predetermined reference model of that word. The feature signals of a subsequent potential vocabulary word are compared against the reference model of each vocabulary word previously stored in the recognizer memory. The speaker is signaled when the potential vocabulary word is confusingly similar to one of the existing vocabulary words.

A method and apparatus for retrieving, accessing, and storing medical data relating to a patient during a medical procedure. The invention provides a single interface to many disparate forms of medical data, which is accessible over a local area network; wide area network, direct connection, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, an operating room control system for use during a medical procedure on a patient includes an input device, a display device, and a controller that is coupled to the input device and the display device. The controller receives one or more user inputs, transmits a command to a server located outside of the operating room to retrieve medical data, receives the medical data from the server, and displays the medical data on the display device. Medical data can be captured by the controller using, for example, a camera and a video/image capture board, keyboard, and microphone during surgery or examination of the patient. The captured medical data can be stored on one or more remote servers as part of the patient records.
