Publication number: 20230186918Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods transcribe words recorded in audio data. A computer-generated transcript is provided. The transcript comprises records for each word in the computer-generated transcript. At least one confirmation input is received for each record. The at least one confirmation input modifies a selected record and automatically identifies a next record for receiving a next confirmation input. A sequence of confirmation inputs may rapidly modify and validate each record in a sequence of records in the computer-generated transcript. A validated transcript is generated from the modified records and is provided from an evidence management system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Noah SPITZER-WILLIAMS, Choongyeun CHO, Thomas CROSLEY, Zachary GOIST, Daniel BELLIA, Vinh NGUYEN, Chelsea ALEXANDER-TAYLOR

Publication number: 20230074279Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for audio transcription are described. Audio data may be obtained from multiple recording devices at or near a scene. Audio data from multiple recording devices may be used to generate a final transcription. For example, when transcribing audio data from one recording device, audio data from another recording device may be used to generate the final transcript. The data from the second recording device may be used when it is determined that the recording devices were in proximity at the time the relevant portions of audio data were recorded and/or when a portion of the audio from the second recording device is verified to correspond with a portion of the audio from the first recording device. In some examples, data from the second recording device may be used when data from the first recording device is determined to be of low quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicant: Axon Enterprise, Inc.Inventors: Noah Spitzer-Williams, Thomas Crosley, Choongyeun Cho, James Reitz

Patent number: 8937355Abstract: Sub-100 nanometer semiconductor devices and methods and program products for manufacturing devices are provided, in particular inductors comprising a plurality of spaced parallel metal lines disposed on a dielectric surface and each having width, heights, spacing and cross-sectional areas determined as a function of Design Rule Check rules. For one planarization process rule a metal density ratio of 80% metal to 20% dielectric surface is determined and produced. In one example a sum of metal line spacing gaps is less than a sum of metal line interior sidewall heights. In one aspect at least one of line height, width and line spacing dimensions is selected to optimize one or more chip yield, chip performance, chip manufacturability and inductor Q factor parameters.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Choongyeun Cho, Daeik Kim, Jonghae Kim, Moon J.
