20130031946 | Venetian Blind Repair Tool - A tool for repairing Venetian blinds comprising a cradling member and a receiving member which moves relative to the cradling member. The cradling member has a horizontal portion and a vertically extending portion. The cradling member has a protrusion located a distance away from the ledge for supporting a portion of the Venetian bond. The receiving member slides up the cradling member towards the edge. The edges of the Venetian blind are compressed towards each other between the extended ledge and the receiving member to re-introduce a curvature to the Venetian blind. | 02-07-2013 |

20150213795 | Automated Learning For Speech-Based Applications - Systems and methods for modifying a computer-based speech recognition system. A speech utterance is processed with the computer-based speech recognition system using a set of internal representations, which may comprise parameters for recognizing speech in a speech utterance, such as parameters of an acoustic model and/or a language model. The computer-based speech recognition system may perform a first task in response to the processed speech utterance. The utterance may also be provided to a human who performs a second task based on the utterance. Data indicative of the first task, performed by the computer system, is compared to data indicative of a second task, performed by the human in response to the speech utterance. Based on the comparison, the set of internal representations may be updated or modified to improve the speech recognition performance and capabilities of the speech recognition system. | 07-30-2015 |

20130283168 | Conversation User Interface - A conversation user interface enables users to better understand their interactions with computing devices, particularly when speech input is involved. The conversation user interface conveys a visual representation of a conversation between the computing device, or virtual assistant thereon, and a user. The conversation user interface presents a series of dialog representations that show input from a user (verbal or otherwise) and responses from the device or virtual assistant. Associated with one or more of the dialog representations are one or more graphical elements to convey assumptions made to interpret the user input and derive an associated response. The conversation user interface enables the user to see the assumptions upon which the response was based, and to optionally change the assumption(s). Upon change of an assumption, the conversation GUI is refreshed to present a modified dialog representation of a new response derived from the altered set of assumptions. | 10-24-2013 |

20140067375 | Human-to-human Conversation Analysis - Customer support, and other types of activities in which there is a dialogue between two humans can generate large volumes of conversation records. Automated analysis of these records can provide information about high-level features of, for example, the workings of a customer service department. Analysis of these conversations between a customer and a customer-support agent may also allow identification of customer support activities that can be provided by virtual agents instead of actual human agents. The analysis may evaluate conversations in terms of complexity, duration, and sentiment of the participants. Additionally, the conversations may also be analyzed to identify the existence of selected concepts or keywords. Workflow characteristics, the extent to which the conversation represents a multi-step process intended to accomplish a task, may also be determined for the conversations. Characteristics of individual conversations may be combined to obtain generalized or representative features for a set of a conversation records. | 03-06-2014 |

20080248460 | Composition and method for modulating an inflammatory response - The invention relates to compositions and methods comprising lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTβR) modulators, which activate or inhibit LTβR signaling. LTβR modulators are useful for treating lymphocyte mediated immunological diseases and cancer, and more particularly, for regulating mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. This invention relates to soluble forms of the LTβR complex proteins that act as LTβR activating or inhibiting agents. This invention also relates to the use of soluble molecules, directed against either the LTβR, its ligands, LIGHT and LTβ1α2, or its intracellular binding partners, that function to regulate LTβR signaling. A novel screening method for selecting soluble receptors, antibodies and other agents that modulate LTβR signaling is provided. | 10-09-2008 |

20090207050 | Asset recovery system - An asset location, tracking, and recovery system and method includes a network of VHF towers and a control center receiving signals from and transmitting signals to the VHF towers. Primary locating units each include a transmitter, a receiver, and a transponder activated when a signal is transmitted by the control center via the VHF towers to the receiver. Auxiliary locating units include at least a transmitter emitting a signal received by at least one primary locating unit receiver which relays that signal to the control center via the VHF towers from the primary locating unit transmitter. | 08-20-2009 |
