Filed:

Jan 29, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/015393

Inventors:

Manish Sharma - Somerset NJ
Richard J. Mammone - Bridgewater NJ

Assignee:

T-NETIX, Inc. - Dallas TX

International Classification:

G01L 1700

US Classification:

704270, 704273, 704275, 379 67, 379 88

Abstract:

The present invention is a reliable system and method for detecting a recorded voice, which can be employed independently or to provide protection from fraudulent use of a recording to defeat an automatic speaker recognition system. Several techniques and systems are employed either independently or in combination to verify that a detected audio sample is live and not recorded. Temporal speech characteristics of an audio sample are analyzed to determine whether a sample under examination is so similar to a previous sample as to indicate a recording. Communications channel characteristics are examined to determine whether an sample was recorded on a different channel from a predetermined communications channel. A pattern classifier is trained to distinguish between live and recorded speech. Finally, an âaudio watermarkâ is used to determine whether a detected audio sample is a recording of a previous communication by an authorized user.

International Classification:

G02B 626

US Classification:

385 27, 385 10, 385 16, 385 37

Abstract:

A hitless wavelength selective optical device includes a first thermo-optic switch (TOS), a second TOS, a first waveguide, a second waveguide, a third waveguide, a heating element and a control unit. The first TOS includes receives a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal at a first port of the first TOS. The second TOS provides at least one channel of the WDM signal at a first port of the second TOS. The first waveguide is coupled between second ports of the first and second TOS. The second waveguide includes a tunable filter that reflects a selected channel from the received WDM signal and coupled between the third ports of the first and second TOS.

International Classification:

G10L 21/00

US Classification:

704277, 704270, 704 2, 704 1

Abstract:

A method of providing localized information from a single global transformation source, comprises collecting a plurality of information on a plurality of subjects, and conveying this information to a single information server located at the single global transformation source. Segregating the collected information into a plurality of sub-topics so that related information from a plurality of sources will be present in a single sub-topic. Transforming the information of each sub-topic into a single common language including conversion of words, exp-ressions, technical and financial data. Identifying each sub-topic by a topic identifier so that a localized user on the globe can identify the sub-topic germane to the needs and interest of the localized user. Transmitting the information of a sub-topic from the single information server to a local user who requests the same.

International Classification:

H04J014/02

US Classification:

359/128000, 359/127000

Abstract:

A wavelength selective optical cross-connect includes a first demultiplexor feeding into individually removable modules that in turn feed a first multiplexor, such that the cross-connect is expandable and repairable on a wavelength or waveband basis. The modules desirably include multiple optical components in the optical path, with components in each module matched to others in that module to provide module-to-module variation below that of the variation in module components. The modules desirably include an additional demultiplexor and multiplexor. The modules also desirably include wavelength or narrowband amplification together with power equalization. The modules may also include a switch fabric. Alternatively, the switch fabric may be provided in the form of a separate removable switch module or modules, with various technologies employed in various switch modules, including manual switching with automatic connection discovery, with simple plug-in upgradeability to modules having automatic or remotely actuated switching.
