Abstract:
An electronic apparatus for translation from a host language to a non-host language in which the individual word is evaluated as to its contextual meaning. The sequence of words, typically a sentence, within the host language, which is communicated to the electronic apparatus is translated, through a recognition device into a series of recognized words. These recognized words are further refined through analysis of their contextual meaning within the sequence (sentence) so as to differentiate between words of similar pronunciation and between homonyms. The present invention permits the direct entry, from voice, to a translator to a foreign language or alternatively to control language for use with an electronic or electromechanical apparatus.
Abstract:
Client computers may be configured to communicate with a security server computer to receive access point information for computer network wireless access points in a particular geographic location. A client computer may provide its current geographic location to the security server computer to request access point information. The server computer may retrieve from an access point database access point information for computer network wireless access points in the geographic location. The server computer may provide the access point information to the client computer, which may display the access point information over a geographic map. The access point information may indicate whether any computer network wireless access point in the geographic location poses a computer security threat.
Abstract:
A virtualization platform includes a number of virtual machines, one of which is configured as a driver domain and includes the network service control for routing network traffic between the other virtual machines. The privileged domain does not include the network service control. The network service control includes network backend interfaces and a virtual switch or bridge. The driver domain includes a PCI driver for direct communication with a network interface card. The driver domain includes hooking software and an inspection agent. Packets passing between the other virtual machines pass through the driver domain, are hooked, and are inspected by inspection agent to determine if they are malicious or not. Malicious packets are blocked. The driver domain may also utilize a PCI driver of the privileged domain for access to the network interface card. Platforms with or without pass-through mode may be used.
Abstract:
To protect a user computer from eavesdroppers, a secure communication connection is created through a computer network. The secure communication connection may be created even when the user computer communicates with a web server computer that does not support secure communication connections. The secure communication connection may be to a protection server computer. Another communication connection may be formed between the protection server computer and the web server computer to allow the user computer to transfer data to the web server computer by way of the protection server computer. The creation of the secure communication connection may be by user request or automatic upon detection of protected address or data.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus in which the operator inputs both the textual material and a sequence of pitches which upon synthesization simulates singing qualities. The operator inputs a textual material, typically through a keyboard arrangement, and also a sequence of pitches as the tune of the desired song. The text is broken into syllable components which are matched to each note of the tune. The syllables are used to generate control parameters for the synthesizer from their allophonic components. The invention allows the entry of text and a pitch sequence so as to simulate electronically the singing of a tune.
