US Classification:

704260000

Abstract:

Disclosed is a system, method and computer-readable medium that stores instructions for controlling a computing device. The method embodiment relates to processing speech data wherein the method comprises generating phoneme transcriptions for words in a first language, generating a pronunciation dictionary comprising three-parts including, for each word in the dictionary, a first part having a first language orthography, a second part having a second language pronunciation and a third part having a second language orthography and applying the pronunciation dictionary in a speech application. The method is especially applicable to languages where the alphabet does not fully represent how a word is pronounced, as in Arabic or Hebrew.

International Classification:

B21B 3708

US Classification:

72 21

Abstract:

An improvement to an apparatus for and method of making structures from at least one workpiece is disclosed. The prior art apparatus and method comprised a pair of dies which were clamped about the periphery of the at least one workpiece creating a gap therebetween. A pair of non-inflatable platens were then used to apply a force against the pair of dies further clamping the workpiece in place. The die assembly and workpiece were then heated to forming temperatures and thereafter the workpiece was formed within the pair of dies by fluid under pressure. Typically the forming was Superplastic Forming or Superplastic Forming/Diffusion Bonding. The improvement to the apparatus and method comprises providing an inflatable platen between one of the dies and one of the non-inflatable platens, adapted to regulate the force applied by said pair of dies to said at least one workpiece. A sensor, mounted within the gap is adapted to sense changes in the dimensions of the actual gap and provide a first output signal proportional thereto during the forming of the structure. A signal generator is provided for producing a second output signal proportional to a preferred gap dimension that is produced when said force is the minimum amount necessary for forming the at least one workpiece into the structure.

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

379 52

Abstract:

A call between a caller using a telephone device for the deaf (TDD) using a one of a number of languages and another including a TDD user is connected by automatically prompting the TDD caller for calling information, automatically identifying the language being used, parsing the received calling information in the appropriate language to determine a forward number, selecting a communication assistant (CA) capable of speaking in the language routing the call to the selected CA, and connecting the call. One embodiment involves storing the forward number before routing the call so the selected CA can press a single button to connect the call. According to an embodiment of the invention, the calling information is passed directly to a number of language specific parsers and the successful parser determines the language being used.

International Classification:

B23K 3102

US Classification:

228157

Abstract:

A method for fabricating superplastically formed/diffusion bonded structures wherein metal blanks of aluminum or an aluminum alloy having an oxide surface layer are joined at selected areas by diffusion bonding and expanded superplastically to form a desired sandwich or integrally stiffened structure. According to such method, a suitable mask is applied to selected areas of the aluminum or aluminum alloy blanks. The assembly is then placed in a vacuum chamber and at a suitable low pressure and suitable voltage a glow discharge is created between the metal blank or blanks functioning as cathode or sputtering target, and an anode to selectively remove the oxide from the metal blanks and deposit the oxide debris on the anode. After the oxide layers have been removed from the surfaces of the blanks to be bonded, such surfaces are brought into intimate contact within the sputtering chamber or in an area equipped with heated platens, and while preventing reoxidation of the cleaned surface areas of the metal blanks, such blanks are subjected to press pressure and heat. The cleaned oxide-free areas bond, while the remaining areas, protected by the natural oxide and covered by the masks, do not bond.

US Classification:

228157

Abstract:

An improvement is disclosed to the method of making metallic structures from a plurality of stacked workpieces or blanks by joining first portions, preferably by diffusion bonding, of the stack and by clamping the joined stack at its periphery between forming members and superplastically forming second portions of said plurality of stacked blanks by the selective application of fluid under pressure. The improvement is a method of coupling the fluid to the second portions of the stack which comprises providing a first port through one of the outer blanks at the periphery of the stack. At least one stopoff path is provided for coupling the first port to the second portions of the stacked blanks, which are to be superplastically formed. A second port is provided in one of the forming members, which couples the first port to a source of pressurized fluid. Where there are at least three blanks in the stack, a slot is provided within the inner blank or blanks of the stack coupling the first port to the at least one stopoff path.
