A method and system for memorializing a conversation of a plurality of speakers are disclosed. A sample utterance of each of the plurality of speakers is sampled thereby producing a file of sample utterances each having a characteristic corresponding to one of the speakers. A characteristic of the sample utterances is associated with the corresponding speaker, and the conversation is recorded and saved to a storage medium. A speaker is identified by matching the characteristic of the sample utterance with the conversation utterance, and information regarding the identified speaker is associated with the conversation utterances. A transcript of the conversation is generated that includes information regarding the speaker with a corresponding utterance.

Recording meeting minutes based upon speech recognition

Apparatus for mounting a circuit board within the chassis of an electronic device are disclosed. The chassis of an electronic device includes a mounting panel assembly having at least one slot for receiving a standoff mounted to the circuit board. Each slot includes a first end suitable for allowing insertion and removal of the standoff through the slot and a second end suitable for engaging the standoff to retain the standoff in the slot for securing the circuit board to the mounting panel assembly. A ramp member extends beneath the slot adjacent to the first end for urging the standoff toward the second end when the standoff is inserted in the slot through the first end.

Motherboard mounting assembly

A data transfer system that relieves the central processing unit of a personal computer of the burden of controlling data transfers between mass storage devices coupled to a single device controller without utilizing main memory and which also increases the speed of such transfers. The data transfer system works with a computer having a DMA chip by causing the data to be stored in a transfer buffer instead of main memory when the device controller transfers data between the mass storage devices. The data transfer system also enables a data mirroring system for a personal computer by writing the data to the transfer buffer and also to a third mass storage device acting as a backup device. Another aspect of the data transfer system operates in computers having a local bus that couples peripherals to a central processing unit/main memory subsystem through a system controller. Data transfer logic executes in the system controller to decouple the central processing unit/main memory subsystem from the local bus while the data is transferred between the first and second mass storage devices under the control of the device controller.
