Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating and adjusting translated audio from a video-based source. The method includes receiving video data and corresponding audio data in a first language; generating a translated preliminary transcript in a second language; aligning timing windows of portions of the translated preliminary transcript with corresponding segments of the audio data; determining portions of the translated aligned transcript in the second language that exceed a timing window range of the corresponding segments of the audio data in the first language to generate flagged transcript portions; transmitting the original transcript, the translated aligned transcript, and the first speech dub to a first device, the generated flagged transcript portions included in the original transcript and the translated aligned transcript; receiving, from the first device, a modified original transcript; and generating, based on the modified original transcript, a second speech dub in the second language.

Abstract: A perforating gun system includes an outer housing, a charge carrier assembly slidably receivable in the outer housing, wherein the charge carrier assembly includes a charge carrier having a central axis, a first endplate coupled to a first end of the charge carrier, and a second endplate coupled to a second end of the charge carrier, and an annular initiator assembly connectable to the charge carrier assembly, wherein the initiator assembly has a central opening whereby a central axis of the initiator assembly extends centrally through the central opening and parallel with the central axis of the charge carrier, wherein the initiator assembly is configured to detonate a detonator of the perforating gun system in response to receiving a firing signal.

Abstract: A method for producing a tandem sub for a perforating gun system includes positioning an electrically conductive signal bar in a central passage of a tubular housing of the tandem sub, and injecting a mold material into an annulus formed between an outer surface of the signal bar and an inner surface of the tubular housing that sealably adheres to both the signal bar and the tubular housing.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices to measure and potentially promote thermogenesis, preferably non-exercise activity thermogenesis are disclosed. In the various embodiments, the present invention may rely on one or more sensors that detect a subject's body posture and/or activity. Feedback regarding the subject's posture and/or activity (relative to preferred postures and/or activity levels) may preferably be provided after the data is retrieved and analyzed. A power interlock may also be used to control delivery of electrical energy based on a subject's posture and/or activity level.

Abstract: A weight management system comprised of a body worn device which interfaces periodically with a computer. The established weight goals of the user are translated by the computer into daily activity targets and downloaded into the device. The device monitors the user's activity, offering progress status toward the daily activity target. Further, the device alerts the user of excessive sedentary periods which depress metabolic indicators. The activity targets, allowed length of sedentary periods and suggested activities to reach goal are specific to the individual based on their biometrics and living environment. The computer provides historical tracking of activity for motivational and coaching purposes.

Abstract: A machine-implemented method encourages a job seeker to revisit a job search site by (a) automatically submitting the seeker's search query to a job history database to selectively retrieve responsive job history information corresponding to the seeker's search query; (b) automatically forwarding the selectively retrieved job history information for a prediction of future job prospects; and (c) automatically generating from the future job prospects results which indicate future time points at which more or better job search results are expected to be available.

Abstract: An internet-accessible job match website provides job seekers with predictions of time points at which to better visit the website so as to receive larger numbers of and/or better matching ones of job leads corresponding to submitted job search queries. The job match website optionally pushes alert advisements to the seeker at opportune times when larger numbers of and/or better matching ones of job leads are available in response to the seeker's earlier run query.

Abstract: An activity-contingent weight loss method and system. The system includes measuring information representative of caloric expenditure during one day, and prescribing a caloric allowance for the following day as a function of the caloric expenditure during the previous day.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided in various illustrative embodiments for monitoring a user's physical activity and prompting a user to undertake physical activity as needed. An illustrative embodiment includes a wearable activity sensor, an output device, and a control system. The control system is configured to receive data from the activity sensor and provide output via the output device as a function of the data from the activity sensor. The output comprises content associated with utilizing an exercise enabling device.

Abstract: A method of accumulating, processing, and classifying online job listings for searches by users. Job listings are automatically, and more effectively, categorized, allowing users to more quickly and easily search job listings. Also provided are expanded tools for more powerful job searching. First, online job listings are automatically accumulated and stored in a job database, such as by web crawlers or robots. The accumulated job listings are then “normalized,” i.e., additional metadata are appended to the stored job listings, which assists in both classifying jobs and in subsequent user searches. These normalized, or augmented, job listings are then classified into job categories by an automated classifier. Assigning jobs to categories in this manner allows for greater search functionality. For instance, users can search by job category, and find additional search terms via other jobs in the same category.

Abstract: Thermal image data of at least a region of a face of a person is provided. The thermal image data is transformed to blood flow rate data which includes a slope representative of the change of blood flow rate over time. The slope is compared to a slope threshold to determine a physiological state of the person. For example, it may be determined whether the person is deceptive or non-deceptive, e.g., deceptive with respect to an elicited response from the person.

Abstract: A user is provided with the capability to view only those segments of TV broadcast programs and/or pre-recorded digital programs that are identified by the user (or other persons, e.g., parents) as acceptable. Preferences for the types of material that is desired for viewing are provided. The provider analyzes a selected program and creates a user specific segmentation file that, when played along with the recorded program, causes the program to automatically skip specific types of material (e.g., commercials, violence, pornography, etc.) and/or jumps to specific material desirable without the user having to intercede during the viewing. The segmentation file is distributed to the user and the user provides a fee to the provider for making and distributing this customized segmentation file.
