20100031797 | PUNCH DEVICE FOR PIERCING HYDRO-FORMED MEMBER - A piercing device and method is provided which can be used to form apertures in formed members. In particular, it is believed that the present invention is particularly suited for forming apertures in hydro-formed members. The piercing device of the present invention advantageously occupies relatively little volume, allowing multiple piercing devices to be located within relatively small volumes about a hydro-forming die, or the like. The device and method can be used to perform complete pierces, wherein the slug is removed from the formed member, or to perform partial pierces, wherein the slug is maintained captive in place until removed by a subsequent manufacturing operation. The present invention also provides for a negative pierce to be achieved, during the hydro-forming process, prior to the pierce operation being performed. This negative pierce results in a reduction in the force required to perform the pierce operation and thus permits the use of a smaller hydraulic ram, or the like. In turn, this can result in a cost saving and can result in even denser mounting of adjacent piercing devices within a hydro-forming die or the like. | 02-11-2010 |

20090259466 | Adaptive Confidence Thresholds for Speech Recognition - Adjusting confidence score thresholds is described for a speech recognition engine. The speech recognition engine is implemented in multiple computer processes functioning in a computer processor, and is characterized by an associated receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. A results confirmation process interprets user confirmation of speech recognition results within a given confidence score threshold to create a confirmed portion of the ROC curve for the speech recognition engine. A curve extension process extends the confirmed portion of the ROC curve by extrapolation of unconfirmed speech recognition results beyond the confidence score threshold to generate an extended ROC curve. A threshold adjustment process adjusts the confidence score threshold based on the extended ROC curve to meet target operating constraints for operating the speech recognition engine to perform automatic speech recognition of user speech inputs. | 10-15-2009 |
20100023331 | Speech recognition semantic classification training - An automated method is described for developing an automated speech input semantic classification system such as a call routing system. A set of semantic classifications is defined for classification of input speech utterances, where each semantic classification represents a specific semantic classification of the speech input. The semantic classification system is trained from training data having little or no in-domain manually transcribed training data, and then operated to assign input speech utterances to the defined semantic classifications. Adaptation training data based on input speech utterances is collected with manually assigned semantic labels. When the adaptation training data satisfies a pre-determined adaptation criteria, the semantic classification system is automatically retrained based on the adaptation training data. | 01-28-2010 |

20130150710 | SURGICAL NAVIGATION FOR REPAIR OF HEART VALVE LEAFLETS - To improve the overall navigation process for minimally invasive repair of heart valve leaflets, an augmented reality technique capable of providing a robust three-dimensional context for transesophogeal echocardiography data has been developed. In the context of various embodiment of the invention, augmented reality essentially refers to a system in which the primary environment is virtual but the environment is augmented by real elements. In this real-time environment, the surgeon can easily and intuitively identify the tool, surgical targets, and high risk areas, and view tool trajectories and orientations. | 06-13-2013 |
