Features are extracted from an observed speech signal including at least speech of multiple speakers including a target speaker. A mask is calculated for extracting speech of the target speaker based on the features of the observed speech signal and a speech signal of the target speaker serving as adaptation data of the target speaker. The signal of the speech of the target speaker is calculated from the observed speech signal based on the mask. Speech of the target speaker can be extracted from observed speech that includes speech of multiple speakers.

A vehicle brake control system has a braking detector and a braking controller. The braking detector determines whether a braking operation in a vehicle is within an initial braking stage based on a control condition of a frictional braking system. The braking controller performs initial braking stage control during the initial braking stage by controlling a regenerative braking system to provide a limited braking torque and the frictional braking system to provide a supplemental braking torque, the combination of which provides a target braking torque. The braking controller performs subsequent braking control when the initial braking stage ends to provide an increased regenerative braking torque and a lower supplemental braking torque as the target braking torque.

Vehicle brake control system

In a turning control apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, a turning controller places a limitation on an automatic deceleration of the vehicle which is started when a turning state of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined deceleration-start threshold value that has a margin for a limit value of turning performance of the vehicle, in such a manner that the turning state of the vehicle approaches to the limit of turning performance of the vehicle in accordance with an accelerator manipulation by a driver. In the case where the driver erroneously manipulates an accelerator pedal, the limitation on the automatic deceleration is suspended.
