Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for customizing the punctuation style of a transcription. A method includes receiving an utterance from a user, obtaining an unpunctuated transcription of the utterance, identifying an instance within the unpunctuated transcription where a punctuation mark may be placed, identifying, using data associated with the user, one or more past instances that are similar to the identified instance, punctuating the unpunctuated transcription based at least on the one or more past instances, and presenting the punctuated transcription to the user.

Abstract: A liquid laundry detergent and pretreatment containing at least one enzyme that is activated upon dilution with water. Upon dilution, the detergent transforms from a watery liquid to a viscous gel. This gel is capable of remaining in place on the garment. The enzyme and surfactants in the formulation work to penetrate and loosen stains so that they are more easily and thoroughly removed during laundering.

Abstract: A construction block for use in building a variety of structures such as erwater reefs, bulkheads, bridge piers, highway dividers, highway and aircraft landing field subsurfaces, and the like is characterized by a used tire having a quantity of concrete filling the interior of the tire. The block includes at least one first connector member retained within the concrete and having an end which extends through the tread portion of the tire. A second connector is retained within the concrete perpendicular to the first connector, and has an end extending from a central opening in one of the sidewalls. A structural assembly is formed from a plurality of the blocks arranged and connected to define a structure having at least one layer of blocks. Preferably the first connectors include bent portions, and rings are provided for connecting the bent portions of adjacent blocks together.

Abstract: An integral diversity antenna especially suited for use in a laptop computer device without the need for changing or otherwise altering such devices pre-established form factor. Two separately located printed circuit board antenna structures are orthogonally mounted in an associated counterpoise. One such antenna structure is vertically polarized and the other horizontally polarized. In this manner, both spatial and polarization diversity is achieved. The counterpoise serves the additional purpose of affecting both RFI and EMI shielding of the laptop computer's LCD display and driven circuitry.
