摘要:
Methods and systems for performing speech recognition using an electronic interactive agent are disclosed. In embodiments of the invention, an electronic agent is presented in a form perceptible to a user. The electronic agent is used to solicit speech input from a user and to respond to the user's recognized speech, and mimics the behavior of a human agent in a natural language query session with the user. The electronic agent may be implemented in a distributed speech recognition system in which speech recognition tasks are divided between client and server.

A spinal implant system for restricting flexion of a spine includes an elongate band proportioned to engage at least two spinous processes. During use, the band is positioned engaging the spinous processes at a spinal segment of interest, where it restricts flexion at the segment. The length and tension of the band may be adjustable following to implantation using percutaneous or transcutaneous means.

A spinal implant for limiting flexion of the spine includes a tether structure for encircling adjacent spinal processes. Usually, a pair of compliance members will be provided as part of the tether structure for elastically limiting flexion while permitting an extension. A cross-member is provided between the compliance member or other portions of the tether structure to stabilize the tether structure and prevent misalignment after implantation.
摘要:
Methods, apparatus and systems for constraining spinous processes to elastically limit flexion of two or more adjacent spinal segments rely on placing a tether structure over at least three adjacent vertebral bodies or two adjacent vertebral bodies and the sacrum. The tether structures may be continuous, for example in the form of a continuous loop, or may be discontinuous, for example in the form of a loop or elongate element having at least two anchor structures for securing in bone.

An auxiliary actuator mechanism includes a lever, a spring unit and a control linkage. The lever is pivotally connected to the upper portion of a main shock absorber strut, and pivotable between an upper position for take-off, and a lower position. The spring unit is pivotally connected at an upper end to the lever and at a lower end to the bogie at an auxiliary pivot forward of the main pivot. The control linkage is connected between the lever and the upper portion of the main shock absorber strut to define the upper predetermined position of the lever. The control linkage is connectable to an anchor point that moves relative to the upper portion of the main shock absorber strut during stowing, and is operated by initial stowing movement of the stowing mechanism to lower the lever from the upper position to a stowing position.

An electrically conductive substrate is provided with a predetermined electrical pattern. A solder paste is deposited onto the electrically conductive substrate at pre-defined interconnection locations. A first encapsulant layer provided with a pattern of openings is placed onto the electrically conductive substrate. Back-contact solar cells are placed on the first encapsulant layer so as to have a match of the electrical pattern of the back-contact solar cells with the electrical pattern of the electrically conductive substrate. A second encapsulant layer is placed on the back-contact solar cells with a glass layer placed on the second encapsulant layer. Heat and pressure are applied to the components to cause the encapsulant materials to flow and form a monolithic photovoltaic module. A laser is applied to the solar cell from the side of the glass layer to cause the solder paste to reflow between each interconnection location and its matching connection location on the back-contact solar cell.
摘要:
An intelligent query system for processing voiced-based queries is disclosed, which uses a combination of both statistical and semantic based processing to identify the question posed by the user by understanding the meaning of the user's utterance. Based on identifying the meaning of the utterance, the system selects a single answer that best matches the user's query. The answer that is paired to this single question is then retrieved and presented to the user. The system, as implemented, accepts environmental variables selected by the user and is scalable to provide answers to a variety and quantity of user-initiated queries.
摘要:
A system for restricting spinal flexion includes superior and inferior tether structures joined by a pair of compliance members. Compliance members comprise tension members which apply a relatively low elastic tension on the tether structures. By placing the tether structures on or over adjacent spinous processes, flexion of a spinal segment can be controlled in order to reduce pain.

摘要:
A speech recognition engine is configured to permit partial or full recognition of an utterance at a client device and/or a server device. This allows for support for client devices having differing computing capabilities. Natural language operations can also be supported as desired. A user can thus interact with content also accessible at a web page and select items of interest using speech as a mode of input. Dynamic grammars can assist in the recognition operations to improve speed and comprehension.
