Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to voice-control for electronic devices. In some embodiments, the method includes, in response to detecting a plurality of utterances, associating the plurality of operations with a first stored operation set and detecting a second set of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to perform the operations associated with the first stored operation set; and performing the plurality of operations associated with the first stored operation set, in the respective order.

Abstract: A system for assaying a sample for Molybdenum-99 content includes an inner ionization chamber including a well configured to receive the sample, an outer ionization chamber concentric with the inner ionization chamber, attenuating material positioned in the well, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to determine a first Molybdenum-99 content value of the sample based on a first current measured in the inner ionization chamber, determine a second Molybdenum-99 content value of the sample based on a second current measured in the outer ionization chamber, and determine a final Molybdenum-99 content value based on the first and second Molybdenum-99 content values.

Abstract: Techniques for providing semantic search of a data store are disclosed. A similarity metric of a document comprising the data store to a concept represented in a semantic model derived at least in part from a reference source that includes content not included in the data store is determined. A relevance metric of a search query to the concept is computed. The similarity metric and the relevance metric are used to determine, at least in part, a ranking of the document with respect to the search query.

Abstract: An on-demand waste transport system and method may be used for transporting waste from low or no water disposal devices (e.g., low flow toilet fixtures, foam flush toilets and similar types of reduced water toilet fixtures) to remote areas (that may not be functionally accessible by gravity) via an evacuation system. These areas may include, but are not limited to, composting units, sewers, septic systems, holding tanks or areas where the waste may be combined with additional water. The system and method may transport the waste by generating an “on-demand” vacuum pressure within the system.

Abstract: A hand held mirror includes a body having a first and second body portion. The second body portion is arranged at a variable angle of between 0 and 50 degrees from the plane of the first body portion. A convex mirror is attached to the underside of the second body portion such that when the hand-held mirror is attached to the body of the user and raised or tilted slightly, the user has a view of the activities behind the user. The hand-held mirror may be attached to a piece of clothing or other article worn by the user including a glove or strap worn around the hand or lower wrist of the user. In addition, the hand-held mirror may include an additional device such as a watch, temperature gauge, altimeter, cell phone, radio, GPS, heart rate monitor, mapping device or turn signal indicator.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing inter-application accessibility. Embodiments of the present invention provide a framework independent, introspective, extensible technique for describing and interacting with interfaces across application processes, in which an accessibility client dynamically discovers aspects of an element (e.g., a User Interface (UI) element) by asking for its lists of actions and attributes. For example, an accessibility client application can have framework independent access to accessibility server applications written in different frameworks, such as Cocoa, Carbon, Java, or others. Since the lists of attributes and actions are introspected at run time, an accessibility client can be dynamically extensible to handle new attributes and actions that are added to the accessibility server after the accessibility client is made.

Abstract: A middle frequency horn and high frequency horn assembly having a straight pathway with a shared unitary terminus defined by shared side walls which approach a perpendicular angle compared to the horn axis. The two air columns are separated and partially defined by an internal horizontal baffle in which the top and bottom surfaces are angled to decrease in vertical separation in both upward and downward directions starting from the vertical distance between the respective throat openings and decreasing in separation while progressing toward the mouth, where the angled surfaces intersect and terminate the baffle substantially proximate to the horn mouth.
