The present invention consists of a method and apparatus providing for the continuous stream blending, preferably on a mass ratio basis, of two or more liquids. Each individual liquid stream is synchronously dosed in precise mass ratio to a common mixing point. The flow of each stream is on-off or digital. Repeated mass ratio doses of defined and matching flow interval, referred to as synchronous digital flow, interspersed with a defined interval of no flow, constitutes digital flow at a net rate sufficient to meet or exceed some required take-away of the blended liquids. In one preferred embodiment, each dose stream flow is produced and measured by a four element apparatus preferably consisting of a servo motor and controller, a precision positive displacement pump, a Coriolis mass meter and a precision flow stream shut-off device. The servo motor and controller establish and control a periodic and intermittent flow rate necessary to displace a defined mass dose in a precisely defined flow interval. The flow interval is measured against a precision millisecond digital clock. The Coriolis mass meter is used only to totalize mass flow to define the desired mass dose during the defined digital flow interval. The flow stream shut-off device ensures precise delivery of the mass dose to the common mixing point. The flow rate of a stream is automatically adjusted by the control electronics until the required mass dose is delivered in the defined flow interval.

Fast and detailed match techniques for speaker recognition are combined into a hybrid system in which speakers are associated in groups when potential confusion is detected between a speaker being enrolled and a previously enrolled speaker. Thus the detailed match techniques are invoked only at the potential onset of saturation of the fast match technique while the detailed match is facilitated by limitation of comparisons to the group and the development of speaker-dependent models which principally function to distinguish between members of a group rather than to more fully characterize each speaker. Thus storage and computational requirements are limited and fast and accurate speaker recognition can be extended over populations of speakers which would degrade or saturate fast match systems and degrade performance of detailed match systems.
