Patent
Method and system for controlling an external machine by a voice command
TL;DR: In this paper, a voice pattern which is extracted from a voice supplied through a microphone is compared with reference voice patterns to pick up one of them which corresponds to a certain voice command to control an external machine, and a similarity between the voice pattern and the reference voice pattern is calculated.
Patent
Protection structure of semiconductor integrated circuit
Fumio Nakano,Katsuhiko Higashino +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a static electricity protection circuit is provided on the same chip as the plurality of circuit sections and connected to the power supply systems, where the protection circuit includes a plurality of protection elements, each of which is a diode having an orientation determined based upon potentials of two lines to which the diode is to be connected.
Patent
High-speed level shifter with simple circuit arrangement
TL;DR: A level shifter has a preliminary level shifting circuit and a final level shift circuit for stepwise changing a voltage range from complementary input signals to complementary output signals as discussed by the authors, where the complementary inverters are coupled between a constant voltage source and a pair of input nodes.
Patent
Method and apparatus for clock synchronization.
TL;DR: In this paper, the level comparator compares the detected level of the electric field with a predetermined threshold and controls the clock synchronizing circuit to select one of the phase-corrected and free-running clock signals in response to the result of comparison.
Patent
Voice control system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to eliminate malfunction due to voice misrecognition by informing a speaker of the decrease in the similarity between a voice pattern and a standard pattern when the similarity decreases, and extending the time for recognition result confirmation and the sending time of an interruption instruction.
