A speech processing apparatus includes a sound input unit that receives an input of a sound including a voice of one of an operator and a person other than the operator; a designation-duration accepting unit that accepts a designation-duration designated by the operator as a time interval that is a target of a speech processing within the input sound; a voice-duration detecting unit that detects a voice-duration that is a time interval in which the voice is present from the input sound; a speaker determining unit that determines whether a speaker of the voice is the operator or the person based on the input sound; and a deciding unit that detects an overlapping period between the designation-duration and the voice-duration, and decides that the voice-duration including the overlapping period is a processing duration, when the overlapping period is detected and the speaker is determined to be the person.

In a passive radar system a space-borne transmitter broadcasts wide-band digitally modulated signals over a region and illuminates the region. A receiver antenna is oriented to receive radiation from at least one portion of the region. The portion is an area viewed by the receiver antenna. A reference antenna is oriented toward the transmitter, the reference antenna receives a portion of the wide-band digitally modulated signal. A coherent processing time duration is selected based on: a radar cross-section of a target within the viewed area, a bandwidth of the wide-band digitally modulated signal, and the viewing angle of the receiver antenna. The received signal from the receiver antenna is coherently processed with a reference signal from the reference antenna, over a time interval greater than the coherent processing time duration.

A control for defining data for setting the times for controlled events in a glass forming machine which is controlled by a programmable sequencer which defines the time of a machine cycle. The control includes a computerized model of a mathematical representation of a network constraint diagram of the unwrapped bottle forming process and a computer for analyzing the computerized model as a constrained optimization problem for determining, with the following data inputs: 1. the motion durations, 2. the submotion durations, 3. the machine cycle time, 4. the event time in an unwrapped bottle forming process for each displacement to begin and for each valve to be turned "on" and "off", and 5. thermal forming process duration "N". define the fastest machine cycle time for a feasible schedule and the event time in the unwrapped bottle forming process for each displacement to begin and for each valve to be turned "on" and "off".

A control for defining data for setting the times for controlled events in a glass forming machine which is controlled by a programmable sequencer which defines the time of a machine cycle. The control includes a computerized model of a mathematical representation of a network constraint diagram of the unwrapped bottle forming process which takes more than two machine cycles to complete and a computer for analyzing the computerized model as a constrained optimization problem for determining, with the following data inputs:1. the motion durations,2. the submotion durations,3, the machine cycle time,4. the event time for each displacement to begin and for each valve to be turned "on" and "off", and5. the thermal forming process durations,whether there is a feasible optimized schedule and the machine cycle time and the event time for each displacement to begin and for each valve to be turned "on" and "off".

A method for aligning a substrate to a process center of a support mechanism is provided. The method includes determining substrate thickness after substrate processing at a plurality of orientations and at a plurality of radial distances from a geometric center of the substrate. The method also includes deriving a set of process rate values from substrate thickness and process duration. The method further includes creating for a process rate an off-centered plot, which represents a substantially concentric circle whose points are a circumference of the off-centered plot having substantially the first process rate. The method yet also includes applying a curve-fitting equation to the off-centered plot to determine a set of parameters. The method yet further includes teaching a set of robot arms the set of parameters, thereby enabling the set of robot arms to align another substrate that is supported by the support mechanism with the process center.

An oscillating firing system for targeted adjustment / readjustment of amplitudes of oscillations of static pressure and / or hot gas velocity in an oscillating firing system for thermal treatment of materials or materials synthesis includes a burner, with which an oscillating (pulsating) flame is generated, and a combustion chamber (resonator), into which the flame is directed. Usually, a controlled, independent adjustment of the amplitude (oscillation strength) of the pulsating hot gas flow resulting from a self-excited, recoupled combustion instability is not carried out in a vibration combustion or a pulsation reactor and thus also an adaptation of the periodic-transient combustion process to the selected throughput of the reactor (in the case of material treatment / synthesis Eg: the educt feeding rate or the production rate) is not carried out without a simultaneous but undesirable change in other process parameters (treatment temperature, residence time or treatment time) and thus the material properties produced. Upstream of the burner outlet an oscillation volume is inserted into the supply lines leading to the burner through which oscillation volume air, fuel or fuel-air mixture can flow. Preferably, the size of the oscillation volume may be adjustable. Thus, it is possible to change the amplitude of oscillation.

A technique is provided to precludes elution of the nickel by infallibly removing the nickel adhering to the inner surface of plumbing hardware, realize a treatment for efficient (treating temperature, treating duration, etc.) preclusion of both or either of lead and nickel and perform a neutralizing treatment on the varying fluid used in the treatment for precluding elution, thereby rendering the fluid usable as industrial water, permitting a generous cut in cost and allowing thorough observance of the influence on the environment. A method for precluding elution of lead and nickel from a plumbing device made of a copper alloy that includes a valve and a tube coupling, includes washing at least a liquid-contacting part of the plumbing device of a copper alloy containing both or either of lead and nickel with a cleaning fluid incorporating therein nitric acid and hydrochloric acid as an inhibitor under conditions of a temperature and a duration permitting effective removal of both or either of lead and nickel, thereby performing at least one of deleading treatment and nickel-removing treatment for a surface of the liquid-contacting part and causing the hydrochloric acid to form a coating film on the surface of the liquid-contacting part to thereby effectively precluding elution of both or either of the lead and nickel from the surface of the liquid-contacting part in the presence of the coating layer.
