The present invention discloses a complete speech recognition system having a training button and a recognition button, and the whole system uses the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) architecture for the design, and also uses the modular design to divide the speech processing into 4 modules: system control module, autocorrelation and linear predictive coefficient module, cepstrum module, and DTW recognition module. Each module forms an intellectual product (IP) component by itself. Each IP component can work with various products and application requirements for the design reuse to greatly shorten the time to market.

An automated software production system is provided, in which system requirements are captured, converted into a formal specification, and validated for correctness and completeness. In addition, a translator is provided to automatically generate a complete, robust software application based on the validated formal specification, including user-interface code and error handling code.

A business and software method to cost-effectively optimize product and/or service development portfolios, to reduce time to market, and to better integrate and align product or service strategy with brand strategy. The business and software method includes defining in detail the product and service attributes that characterize the ideal customer experience, categorizing the attributes, assigning a numerical value of importance to the attributes, and applying those values to statistical analysis of each assessed product development initiative in terms of alignment with ideal experience and potential competitive impact relative to the resources and risks required to bring each initiative to market. A prioritization for product development resource allocation is developed based upon these analyses. The prioritization is presented in the form of decision intelligence tools for an organization to use and reach informed judgments concerning resource allocation to develop, maintain, or optimize a given product or service portfolio. The decision intelligence tools serve to improve business performance, increase market impact, and build brand equity for products and services of a given organization by improving alignment between what the organization promises customers and what it actually delivers.

In an electrical system having a chassis with at least one chassis slot for receiving a chassis electrical device, and at least one connector board with at least one board slot thereon for receiving a connector board electrical device therein, respective memory is provided for storing vital product parametric data associated with the at least one chassis slot, the at least one connector board slot, and the respective electrical devices. The stored vital product parametric data can be accessed by the electrical system to check compatibility.

A system for challenge-response authentication is provided by receiving, from an external terminal over a communication network, a request for access to a service. A plurality of objects is presented to a user via a display. A plurality of codes is received over the communication network, each of the plurality of codes corresponding to one of the plurality of objects. The plurality of codes are matched to a plurality of alphanumeric characters according to a predetermined table. An alphanumeric string is generated from the plurality of alphanumeric characters and the alphanumeric string is compared to a user identifier stored in a database. Based on the comparing, a determination is made as to whether to grant the user access to the service.

The invention discloses a supply chain control method and system and a storage medium. The method comprises: using a sales prediction model, and sales prediction data is obtained based on sales sourcedata information; utilizing the supplier evaluation model and obtaining supplier comprehensive scoring information based on the supplier source data information; A purchase prediction model is facilitated, and a purchase prediction result is obtained based on the purchase source data information, the sales prediction data and the supplier comprehensive scoring information; obtaining a finished product and raw material inventory prediction result by utilizing the inventory management model and based on the inventory source data information, the purchase prediction result and the sales source data information; according to the supply chain control method and system and the storage medium, the overall operation efficiency of the supply chain can be improved, and direct guidance can be provided for finished product and raw material inventory control; after an abnormal event occurs, the probability of occurrence of abnormality in other links can be predicted, early warning is given in time, the operation cost of the supply chain is reduced, and the operation efficiency of an enterprise is comprehensively improved.

Certain example embodiments described herein relate to security systems and/or methods for cloud computing environments. More particularly, certain example embodiments described herein relate to the negotiation and subsequent use of Trading Partner Agreements (TPAs) between partners in a Virtual Organization, the TPAs enabling resources to be shared between the partners in a secure manner. In certain example embodiments, TPAs are negotiated, an algorithm is executed to determine where an executable is to be run, the resource is transferred to the location where it is to be run, and it is executed—with the TPAs collectively defining a security policy that constrains how and where it can be executed, the resources it can use, etc. The executable may be transferred to a location in a multipart (e.g., SMIME) message, along with header information and rights associated with the executable.
