20090304861LEAVENED PRODUCTS MADE FROM NON-WHEAT CEREAL PROTEINS - Gluten-free baked products, particularly gluten-free bread products, which exhibit properties comparable those made with wheat flour. Compositions and methods for preparation of gluten-free baked products. A conditioned protein or protein composite which functions to replace gluten in gluten-free flour. The conditioned protein comprises one more non-wheat cereal storage proteins, particularly prolamins, optionally, but preferably in combination with one or more co-proteins which function to facilitate formation and stabilize formation of a protein network, e.g., β-sheet network, that facilitates retention of CO12-10-2009
20100303953SLOWLY FERMENTABLE SOLUBLE DIETARY FIBER - The embodiments described herein provide a method for improving bowel health by increasing short chain fatty acid concentration in the colon of a mammal including administering to the mammal a composition having from about 0.1 grams to about 50 grams of a treated bran product. After administration, the treated bran product results in an increased short chain fatty acid production during fermentation in the colon as compared to untreated bran fermented in the colon.12-02-2010

20080221896Grammar confusability metric for speech recognition - Architecture for testing an application grammar for the presence of confusable terms. A grammar confusability metric (GCM) is generated for describing a likelihood that a reference term will be confused by the speech recognizer with another term phrase currently allowed by active grammar rules. The GCM is used to flag processing of two phrases in the grammar that have different semantic meaning, but that the speech recognizer could have difficulty distinguishing reliably. A built-in acoustic model is analyzed and feature vectors generated that are close to the acoustic properties of the input term. The feature vectors are then sent for recognition. A statistically random sampling method is applied to explore the acoustic properties of feature vectors of the input term phrase spatially and temporally. The feature vectors are perturbed in the neighborhood of the time domain and the Gaussian mixture model to which the feature vectors belong.09-11-2008
20100177877ENHANCED VOICEMAIL USAGE THROUGH AUTOMATIC VOICEMAIL PREVIEW - Textual preview of a voicemail is generated and provided through email or similar media to users along with the audio version. Transcription of the textual version, as well as additional capabilities such as actionable terms, playback-jump, switching between text and audio versions, direct or metadata based searchability, and enhanced response capabilities are provided based on contextual data obtained from voicemail metadata and user associated data stores such as contact list, email history.07-15-2010
20100312555LOCAL AND REMOTE AGGREGATION OF FEEDBACK DATA FOR SPEECH RECOGNITION - A local feedback mechanism for customizing training models based on user data and directed user feedback is provided in speech recognition applications. The feedback data is filtered at different levels to address privacy concerns for local storage and for submittal to a system developer for enhancement of generic training models.12-09-2010

20100318356APPLICATION OF USER-SPECIFIED TRANSFORMATIONS TO AUTOMATIC SPEECH RECOGNITION RESULTS - Textual transcription of speech is generated and formatted according to user-specified transformation and behavior requirements for a speech recognition system having input grammars and transformations. An apparatus may include a speech recognition platform configured to receive a user-specified transformation requirement, recognize speech in speech data into recognized speech according to a set of recognition grammars; and apply transformations to the recognized speech according to the user-specified transformation requirement. The apparatus may further be configured to receive a user-specified behavior requirement and transform the recognized speech according to the behavior requirement. Other embodiments are described and claimed.12-16-2010
20100318359APPLICATION-DEPENDENT INFORMATION FOR RECOGNITION PROCESSING - Architecture for integrating application-dependent information into a constraints component at deployment time or when available. In terms of a general grammar, the constraints component can include or be a general grammar that comprises application-independent information and is structured in such a way that application-dependent information can be integrated into the general grammar without loss of fidelity. The general grammar includes a probability space and reserves a section of the probability space for the integration of application-dependent information. An integration component integrates the application-dependent information into the reserved section of the probability space for recognition processing. The application-dependent information is integrated into the reserved section of the probability space at deployment time or when available. The general grammar is structured to support the integration and improve the overall system.12-16-2010

20120073205SLIDE DOOR - A slideable and pivotable door assembly configured to selectively permit passage through an opening between a first side and a second side of the opening. The slideable and pivotable door assembly has a normally fixed door panel arranged to cover a first portion of the opening when in a normally closed fixed position. The door assembly also includes a slideable door panel slidable relative to the fixed door panel. The slideable door panel is slidable between a 1) closed position wherein the door panel covers a second portion of the opening and 2) an open position wherein the second portion of the opening is uncovered. A first pivot structure enables pivotal movement of the normally fixed door panel upon a pivoting actuation and a second pivot structure enables pivotal movement of the slideable door panel at any position relative to the normally fixed door panel while the normally fixed door panel remains in its normally fixed position.03-29-2012
