Appeal No. 1995-3030 Page 11
Application No. 08/073,091
a first likelihood estimator that is responsive to
said multi-dimensional representation of the speech
signal, for generating, in accordance with an
associated first word model, a first list comprised
of one or more probable words that the multi-
dimensional representation of the speech signal may
represent, said first likelihood estimator having an
input coupled to an output of a first language
model, said first likelihood estimator being
responsive to said first language model for
eliminating probable words from said first list that
are incompatible with said first language model;
a second likelihood estimator that is responsive to
said multi-dimensional representation of the
handwriting signal, for generating, in accordance
with an associated second word model, a second list
comprised of one or more probable words that the
multi-dimensional representation of the handwriting
signal may represent, said second likelihood
estimator having an input coupled to an output of a
second language model, said second likelihood
estimator being responsive to said second language
model for eliminating probable words from said
second list that are incompatible with said second
language model;
a likelihood combiner having an input coupled to an
output of said first likelihood estimator and to an
output of said second likelihood estimator for
selectively merging said first list and said second
list into a third list comprised of probable words,
said likelihood estimator being responsive to a set
of predetermined weights ....
Accordingly, the limitations of claims 44-89 require combining
signals from a speech transducer and a handwriting transducer
