Appeal No. 96-0338 Application 08/095,179 formula specified. The system is said to operate in accordance with speech pauses and also taught to operate with a continuous updating of noise power spectrums in a different embodiment. The succeeding discussion at the first column of page 85 relates to further aspects of this noise reduction technique. However, the overall concept of Kroschel's disclosure is brought back into perspective in accordance with that shown at Figure 1 at the bottom of page 82 of this reference in the topic headings “Speech Recognition With Noise Reduction” at the middle of the second column of page 85. There, the discussion relates to both a modular and integrated noise reduction and speech recognition system. It is clear, however, that the discussion here is consistent with the Figure 1 discussion at page 82 since the intent is that the noise reduction system is followed by a speech recognition system, which speech recognition system is taught to utilize one of the previously discussed cepstral coding approaches originally discussed at column 1 on page 83 of this reference. 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
