20110126723 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPACTING MATERIALS IN OPEN TOP TRANSPORT CONVEYANCE - A compacting system compacts particulate matter in open-top railroad gondola cars rolling on rails. The compacting system comprises a compacting station adjacent the rails and a scanning system that scans the gondola cars as they move along the rails toward the compacting station. The scanning system transmits data of the gondola car to an electronic control system. The compacting station has at least one compaction member, e.g., a plate structure or a roller, configured to contact an upper surface of the particulate matter in the gondola cars. The electronic control system controls the compacting station so that the compaction member engages with and applies force to the upper surface of the particulate matter in the gondola car so as to compress the particulate matter in the gondola. A method for compacting particulate matter in a gondola car is also shown. | 06-02-2011 |

20160047436 | DAMPED PROPSHAFT ASSEMBLY AND TUNED DAMPER FOR A DAMPED PROPSHAFT ASSEMBLY - A damped propshaft assembly with a hollow shaft and a tuned damper, which is received in the hollow shaft and includes a liner and a damping member. The liner's mass and stiffness are tuned to attenuate one or more of a bending mode vibration and a torsion mode vibration that occurs at a first predetermined frequency. The liner is not configured to substantially damp shell mode vibration that occurs at a frequency that is not equal to the first predetermined frequency. The damping member is coupled to the liner and is configured to primarily attenuate shell mode vibration in the hollow shaft at one or more desired frequencies. The tuned damper attenuates the at least one of the bending moment vibration and the torsion mode vibration at the first predetermined frequency and also attenuates shell mode vibration. A method for forming a damped propshaft assembly is also provided. | 02-18-2016 |

20120316875 | HOSTED SPEECH HANDLING - Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for speech signal handling. Speech handling according to one embodiment of the present invention can be performed via a hosted architecture. Electrical signal representing human speech can be analyzed with an Automatic Speech Recognizer (ASR) hosted on a different server from a media server or other server hosting a service utilizing speech input. Neither server need be located at the same location as the user. The spoken sounds can be accepted as input to and handled with a media server which identifies parts of the electrical signal that contain a representation of speech. This architecture can serve any user who has a web-browser and Internet access, either on a PC, PDA, cell phone, tablet, or any other computing device. | 12-13-2012 |

20090271183 | PRODUCING TIME UNIFORM FEATURE VECTORS - Methods, systems, and machine-readable media are disclosed for processing a signal representing speech. According to one embodiment, processing a signal representing speech can comprise receiving a frame of the signal representing speech, the frame comprising a voiced frame. One or more cords can be extracted from the voiced frame based on occurrence of one or more events within the frame. For example, the one or more events comprise one or more glottal pulses. The one or more cords can collectively comprise less than all of the frame. The one or more cords can be normalized on a time basis. For example, each of the one or more cords can begin with onset of a glottal pulse and extend to a point prior to an onset of neighboring glottal pulse but may exclude a portion of the frame prior to the onset of the neighboring glottal pulse. | 10-29-2009 |
20090271196 | CLASSIFYING PORTIONS OF A SIGNAL REPRESENTING SPEECH - Methods, systems, and machine-readable media are disclosed for processing a signal representing speech. According to one embodiment, processing a signal representing speech can comprise receiving a frame of the signal representing speech. The frame can be classified as unvoiced or voiced based on occurrence of one or more events within the frame. For example, the one or more events can comprise one or more glottal pulses. In response to classifying the frame as voiced, the frame can be processed. | 10-29-2009 |

20160138712 | Rotational Coupling Device for Bimodal Selective Output - A rotational coupling device drives an output synchronous with either of two inputs. The device includes a hub disposed about an axis and an output member supported on the hub for rotation about the axis. First and second input members disposed about the hub are configured to rotate in first and second rotational directions and at first and second speeds, respectively, with at least one of the directions and speeds differing. A clutch member is disposed axially between the input members and coupled to the output member. An electromagnet is on an opposite side of the second input member relative to the clutch member. When the electromagnet is deenergized, the clutch member engages the first input member and the output member rotates with the first input member. When the electromagnet is energized, the clutch member engages the second input member and the output member rotates with the second input member. | 05-19-2016 |
