Patent number: 10125457Abstract: In a method of laying out abnormally-shaped grid decks, the abnormally-shaped grid decks refer to grid decks having a cut-out at the corner thereof. It is usually a problem when laying out abnormally-shaped grid decks because they will be off-balance when they are laid on the columns. Support frames are used to support the abnormally-shaped grid decks and keep them balanced and stable on the columns. However, the support frames may obstruct the working route used in construction. The method adopted in the present invention adds temporary beams to maintain the abnormally-shaped grid decks by balancing them on the columns before they are fixed and secured thereon, and thereafter the temporary beams will be removed. This method can prevent using support frames which may obstruct the working route under construction.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: RUENTEX ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD.Inventors: Samuel Yin, Chang-Sheng Tsao

Patent number: 9460066Abstract: Systems and methods for character error correction are provided, useful for a user of mobile appliances to produce written text with reduced errors. The system includes an interface, a word prediction engine, a statistical engine, an editing distance calculator, and a selector. A string of characters, known as the inputted word, may be entered into the mobile device via the interface. The word prediction engine may then generate word candidates similar to the inputted word using fuzzy logic and user preferences generated from past user behavior. The statistical engine may then generate variable is error costs determined by the probability of erroneously inputting any given character. The editing distance calculator may then determine the editing distance between the inputted word and each of the word candidates by grid comparison using the variable error costs. The selector may choose one or more preferred candidates from the word candidates using the editing distances.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: ZI CORPORATION OF CANADA, INC.Inventors: Weigen Qiu, Samuel Yin Lun Pun
