The invention relates to an axle-mounted brake disk for a rail vehicle, comprising two friction rings which are arranged in parallel and at a distance from each other and are interconnected by a plurality of ribs extending in the direction of the rotational axis of the friction rings, where at least some of the ribs are embodied with different cross-sections from each other, where the cross-sections of a first subset of the ribs, embodied as supporting elements transmitting pressure forces, do not fall below a minimum cross-section, defined by the stability required in relation to the mechanical load during a brake process, and the cross-section of a second subset of the ribs, used to radiate thermal energy, falls below the minimum cross-section.

To control an arbitrary system by speech recognition, it is proposed that speech recognition be implemented in the form of a predefined sequence of states, such that, upon recognition of an appropriate voice command, the system changes from one state to another state, and this change takes place in dependence on at least one speech recognition parameter. The speech recognition parameters can influence, for example, the so-called &ldquo;false acceptance rate&rdquo; (FAR) and/or the &ldquo;false rejection rate&rdquo; (FRR), which thus are set to state-specific values for the individual states, in order to achieve improved recognition accuracy.
