Did You Know...
...that two musicians were responsible for the invention of color print film? Fascinated by photography, Leopold Godowsky and Leopold Mannes worked together to produce an easy-to-use, practical color film. They worked full time as music teachers and gave concerts while experimenting during their off hours in Mannes' kitchen. Their success earned them full-time, well-paying jobs at Kodak and their efforts resulted in Kodachrome film, which was introduced in 1935.

| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5544277 | Speech coding apparatus and method for generating acoustic feature vector component values by combining values of the same features for multiple time intervals A speech coding apparatus and method measures the values of at least first and second different features of an utterance during each of a series of successive time intervals. For each time interval, a feature vector signal has a first component value equa... | 08/06/1996 |
| 5502791 | Speech recognition by concatenating fenonic allophone hidden Markov models in parallel among subwords Analysis of a word input from a speech input device 1 for its features is made by a feature extractor 4 to obtain a feature vector sequence corresponding to said word, or to obtain a label sequence by applying a further transformation in a labeler 8. Feno... | 03/26/1996 |
| 5465317 | Speech recognition system with improved rejection of words and sounds not in the system vocabulary A speech recognizer that selects a command model for a current sound if the best match score for the current sound exceeds its corresponding threshold score. The threshold score is assigned a confidence score based on the best match score and recognition ... | 11/07/1995 |
| 5440663 | Computer system for speech recognition The invention concerns a computer system for speech recognition with a word table and a triphone table in its memory.
