| 20100235167 | SPEECH RECOGNITION LEARNING SYSTEM AND METHOD - One or more embodiments include a speech recognition learning system for improved speech recognition. The learning system may include a speech optimizing system. The optimizing system may receive a first stimulus data package including spoken utterances having at least one phoneme, and contextual information. A number of result data packages may be retrieved which include stored spoken utterances and contextual information. A determination may be made as to whether the first stimulus data package requires improvement. A second stimulus data package may be generated based on the determination. A number of speech recognition implementation rules for implementing the second stimulus data package may be received. The rules may be associated with the contextual information. A determination may be made as to whether the second stimulus data package requires further improvement. Based on the determination, one or more additional speech recognition implementation rules for improved speech recognition may be generated. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20090119694 | Audience Monitoring of IP Multicast Stream - The invention concerns a method for measuring a multicast stream audience, said multicast stream being capable of being replicated by collecting equipment towards user terminals subscribing to said multicast stream. Said method includes a step of transmitting, via at least one collecting equipment to a counting platform, and in accordance with a counting protocol, at least one counting message comprising at least one audience information concerning the replications of the multicast stream by said at least one collecting equipment to at least one user terminal. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20110063116 | SENSING NETWORK AND METHOD - A system and method are described for detecting toxic gas releases in an urban environment. The system includes a series of repositionable remote sensor nodes that are located in an environment containing a toxic gas, the sensor nodes including a chemical sensor and/or a meteorological sensor. The sensor nodes gather data relating to the type of gas released and the surrounding atmospheric conditions and relay the information back to a data processing hub where the data is collated and analysed to produce an indication of the likely spread of the gas plume, the likely danger to the surrounding population and an indication of the release point of the gas. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20100071353 | Exhaust Tract for an Internal Combustion Engine - An exhaust tract for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a first exhaust gas line, which conducts exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine to an exhaust-gas treatment device, and a second exhaust gas line, which forms a bypass line bypassing the exhaust gas treatment device. In order to ensure sufficient treatment of the exhaust gas even in the lean operating mode of an internal combustion engine, at least one first valve and one second valve are provided in series in the bypass line. An exhaust line is provided between the first valve and the second valve to reduce the pressure between the first and second valves. The pressure upstream of the second valve and the pressure downstream of the second valve, or the ambient pressure of the motor vehicle, are determined and negative pressure is applied to the exhaust line such that an exhaust gas flow via the second valve to the outside into the environment of the motor vehicle is prevented. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090157746 | Method For Capturing Utility Equipment Data - A method for capturing information regarding utility equipment installed at a location comprises the steps of making a site visit to the location; recording voice narration about the utility equipment as the utility equipment is inspected by a narrator during the site visit; recording video of the utility equipment during the site visit; recording identification information for identifying the utility equipment; and entering attribute data corresponding to the utility equipment into a database, wherein the entered attribute data includes data derived from the recorded voice narration, the recorded video, and the recorded identification information. In an embodiment of the invention, the steps of recording voice narration, recording video, and recording identification information are performed simultaneously using a camcorder connected to a GPS receiver via an encoder such that location coordinates are recorded as audio frequency shift keying (AFSK) tones in an audio channel of the camcorder. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20080264340 | MOVING INTERLEAVED SPUTTER CHAMBER SHIELDS - A shielding system for a physical vapor deposition chamber having a sputter target above the pedestal. The shielding system comprises a pedestal shield attachable to the pedestal and movable therewith. The pedestal shield surrounds and extends outward from the pedestal toward the chamber side or lower walls. The system also comprises a sidewall shield adapted to extend substantially around and within the chamber sidewalls, and downward from an upper portion thereof. The sidewall shield has a lower end extending inward and disposed adjacent the pedestal shield upper portion when the pedestal is in the raised position. The pedestal shield and sidewall shield cooperate, when the pedestal is in the raised position, to prevent line-of-sight deposition transmission from the sputter target to the side and lower walls of the deposition chamber. | 10-30-2008 |
