| 20110193552 | Displacement Measurement System and Method using Magnetic Encodings - A measurement system includes a rotating member configured to transfer mechanical energy to a point of use. The member has at a surface thereof one or more circumferentially oriented bands of magnetizable material. Each band has a magnetic pattern comprised of a plurality of transitions magnetically recorded in the magnetizable material of that band. A magnetic-field sensor is disposed sufficiently near each band of magnetizable material to sense a magnetic pattern recorded in that band as the member rotates. Each magnetic-field sensor generates signals in response to the magnetic pattern sensed by that magnetic-field sensor. Processing electronics is in communication with each magnetic-field sensor to receive the signals generated by that magnetic-field sensor while the member rotates and to dynamically compute from the signals a measurement associated with a performance of the rotating member. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20090204406 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR DETECTING DECEPTION AS TO FLUENCY OR OTHER ABILITY IN A GIVEN LANGUAGE - The invention relates to a system and methods for detecting when a user is representing he is not fluent in a language in which he is fluent. The present system and methods are adapted to be used in conjunction with conventional and novel computer systems and methods and provides detection of concealment of language skills by a user. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090317776 | Economic Language Learning System - A system of language learning applies economic theory to provide speakers and learners of each of plural languages. Remote users teach the native languages to one another by providing practice time for users seeking to learn such language. A computer keeps track of the value and cost of teaching and learning time in each language. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100143873 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TASK BASED LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION - A computer-implemented system and method for teaching a target language are disclosed that may include providing a pool of tasks associated with instruction of the target language by a computing system; receiving a query from a user requesting instruction of a target task from among the pool of tasks; identifying a sequence of tasks beneficial for teaching the target task; and presenting a lesson plan, including the beneficial sequence of language tasks, to the user in response to the user query, wherein the lesson plan includes the target task and at least one supporting task. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100143874 | LANGUAGE SKILLS TEACHING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A student providing a multi-word response in a computerized language teaching system provides a manual input concurrently with each responsive word. For example, he might enter a keystroke correspondent to the first letter of each word. When using the teaching computer silently, a student will typically “speak” each word mentally as he enters a keystroke, so the limited experience is almost as effective as speaking out loud. When a student types one or more keystrokes concurrently with each word that he speaks, the computer will be able to detect when a student is responding with a correct word, but merely mispronouncing it. Also, since the computer will receive a keystroke as the student starts each new word, it is better able to distinguish the boundaries between words and recognize them more reliably. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100323332 | Method and Apparatus for Improving Language Communication - In a communication between individuals having different levels of skill in a language, communication by the more skilled individual is controlled so as to keep it at a level understandable by the lesser skilled individual. For example, a native speaker's communication with a student learning his language (the target language) is monitored by an interface and compared with a stored model representing the student's knowledge and ability in the language. Should the native speaker communicate in a way that would not be understood by the student, for example, by using vocabulary or a sentence structure beyond the student's ability, the interface will notify the native speaker. The interface might then suggest an alternate word or sentence structure to the native speaker, inviting him to use the alternate communication. The native speaker can then substitute and send the alternate communication. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110027762 | Method and System for Effecting Language Communications - Interaction in a target language among students and native speakers of the language is effected by providing a learning community having a set of language activities in a plurality of languages, including the target language. The activities include communications with others. A student is permitted full access to activities in the target language, while a native speaker in the target language is given access to a subset of activities in a language of his choice in exchange for having carried on a communication with a student in the target language. | 02-03-2011 |
