Abstract: A portable device, such as a cellular telephone, engages the user in a challenge-response sequence that is based on recognition of the user's utterance and also upon verification of the user's speech patterns or voiceprint. The challenge-response protocol presents the user with an unexpected challenge word, which the user is then requested to respond to. The system maintains a secure data store of challenge words which it adapts and augments as the user makes use of the portable device. The portable device provides the user with a convenient, single access point through which he or she can authenticate with a variety of disparate secure devices ranging from door locks, ATM machines, financial institutions and third-party business associates.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for providing a consistent reintegration of a failed primary instance as a new secondary instance with implementation of truncation of log records. Upon failure of a primary instance, a secondary instance may be reassigned as the new primary instance. Prior to reintegration, any portion of the database log of the failed primary that is after the log position of the new primary instance may be truncated, followed by a comparison of the log positions of both the new primary instance and the new secondary instance. In limited circumstances, the truncation of the log data generated by the failed primary instance after the point of failure is possible, and supports reintegration of the failed primary as a new secondary instance with limited overhead.

Abstract: A prosody modification system for use in text-to-speech includes an input receiving a sequence of prosodic data vectors Pn, measured at time Tn, which samples a sound waveform. A prosody data warping module directly derives new prosodic data vectors Qn from the original data vectors Pn using a function, which is controlled by warping parameters A0, . . . Ak, which avoids round-off errors in deriving quantized values, which has derivatives with respect to A0, . . . Ak, Pn, and Tn that are continuous, and which has sufficiently high complexity to model intentional prosody of the sound waveform, and sufficiently low complexity to avoid modeling micro-prosody of the sound waveform. The smoothness and simplicity of the function ensure that micro-prosodic perturbations and errors in measurement of Tn are transferred directly to the output Qn. The errors are thus reversed during re-synthesis and therefore eliminated, resulting in micro-prosodic perturbations being preserved during re-synthesis.

Abstract: A log-shipping data replication system employs a primary server coupled to a standby server. In operation, the primary server concurrently flushes log data at the primary server and transmits the same log data from the primary server to the standby server. The primary server further transmits at least one buffer flush boundary indication to the standby server indicating the flushing status of the log data at the primary server. The standby server processes the log data as a function of receiving the log data from the primary server, and/or receiving the at least one buffer flush boundary indication from the primary server.

Abstract: A new speaker provides speech from which comparison snippets are extracted. The comparison snippets are compared with initial snippets stored in a recorded snippet database that is associated with a concatenative synthesizer. The comparison of the snippets to the initial snippets produces required sound units. A greedy selection algorithm is performed with the required sound units for identifying the smallest subset of the input text that contains all of the text for the new speaker to read. The new speaker then reads the optimally selected text and sound units are extracted from the human speech such that the recorded snippet database is modified and the speech synthesized adopts the voice quality and characteristics of the new speaker.

Abstract: A data processing implemented method and system and article of manufacture are provided for determining compatibility between a primary instance and a standby instance, the primary instance being characterized by a first log position indicator and a primary log chain fingerprint (FP-P) and the secondary instance being characterized by a second log position indicator and a secondary log chain fingerprint (FP-S); the FP-P and the FP-S each uniquely identifying a prescribed history of an associated data processing system. The method, for example, includes a series of steps comprising: comparing the first log position indicator with the second log position indicator to determine compatibility between the secondary instance and the primary instance; comparing the primary log chain fingerprint (FP-P) with the secondary log chain fingerprint (FP-S) to determine compatibility between the secondary instance and the primary instance; and indicating that the secondary instance is compatible with the primary instance when both of the above comparisons determine compatibility.
