Appl. No.:

13/660722

International Classification:

G10L 13/00

US Classification:

704259, 704258

Abstract:

A method and system for is disclosed for speech synthesis using deep neural networks. A neural network may be trained to map input phonetic transcriptions of training-time text strings into sequences of acoustic feature vectors, which yield predefined speech waveforms when processed by a signal generation module. The training-time text strings may correspond to written transcriptions of speech carried in the predefined speech waveforms. Subsequent to training, a run-time text string may be translated to a run-time phonetic transcription, which may include a run-time sequence of phonetic-context descriptors, each of which contains a phonetic speech unit, data indicating phonetic context, and data indicating time duration of the respective phonetic speech unit. The trained neural network may then map the run-time sequence of the phonetic-context descriptors to run-time predicted feature vectors, which may in turn be translated into synthesized speech by the signal generation module.

International Classification:

B62D021/11

US Classification:

280/788000, 280/124134

Abstract:

An independent suspension undercarriage module includes a first subframe segment and a second subframe segment. The subframe is manufactured of a composite material to provide a truss-like structural unibody which is mounted as a unit to the underside of a low floor vehicle through a plurality of resilient dampers. Passengers are thereby provided with a secondary vibration isolation structure separate from the suspension systems which filter out high frequency content generated by the suspension systems.
