  • Publication number: 20240117931
    Abstract: A pressurized gas containment liner includes a first part comprising a first shell, a second part comprising a second shell, and at least one intermediate part, arranged between the first part and the second part, in an assembly direction. The intermediate part is rigidly connected to the first and second parts. The first part, the second part, and the at least one intermediate part together delimit an interior volume. The or at least one of the intermediate parts comprises an intermediate shell and at least one pillar elongated in an elongation direction and connecting two opposite portions of the intermediate shell, and passing through the interior volume perpendicular to the assembly direction. The pillar and the intermediate shell are integral.

  • Publication number: 20240117932
    Abstract: A pressurized gas containment liner includes a first part comprising a first shell with a first peripheral edge, and a second part comprising a second shell with a second peripheral edge. A strip is superimposed on the first peripheral edge and on the second peripheral edge. The strip rigidly connects the first part and the second part to each other, and the first part, the second part, and the strip delimit an interior volume between them. The pressurized gas containment liner further includes at least one pillar passing through the interior volume and connecting the first and the second shells.

  • Publication number: 20240117935
    Abstract: A pressurized gas containment liner includes a first part comprising a first shell with a first peripheral edge, and a second part comprising a second shell with a second peripheral edge. The first peripheral edge is rigidly connected to the second peripheral edge, and the first shell and the second shell delimit between them an interior volume. The first part comprises at least one pillar that passes through the interior volume, is formed integrally with the first shell, and is elongated between a proximal end, connected to the first shell, and a distal end, rigidly connected to the second part. A transverse section of the pillar decreases from the proximal end to the distal end.

  • Patent number: 7414205
    Abstract: A electronic rotary switch is disclosed that comprises domes molded into an elastomeric switch mat mounted to a printed circuit board. A knob rotatably attached to the circuit board includes a cam that depresses individual domes to actuate a contact switch pad on the printed circuit board. A microprocessor may be utilized with the switch to replicate an encoder or potentiometer.

  • Patent number: 7302381
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for specifying arbitrary words in a rule-based grammar, such as a context-free grammar. A wildcard identifier is used in a context-free grammar file in place of a predefined category of words. Artificial phoneme combinations that represent generic words in a speech engine's vocabulary database, and that represent pronunciations of the predefined category of words are defined by rules. A speech engine uses the artificial phoneme combinations to determine acceptable words to listen to, and generates a results object comprising generic words corresponding to the artificial phoneme combinations, as well as non-generic words that do not exist in a given CFG, where the generic and non-generic words exist in the speech engine's vocabulary database. The word having the highest confidence level that is not a generic word is selected as the word most likely to have been spoken by the user.

  • Publication number: 20070157051
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and system for managing a system are disclosed herein. The method and system provides a means to permanently and/or securely store core system configuration information so that the core system configuration information stays with a particular system, such as a computing device or motherboard for example. The method and system provide a means for channel integrators, manufacturers, and technicians to quickly troubleshoot and return a system to full service after receiving the system from a customer as part of an unstable, non-functioning, or other system service event. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7203645
    Abstract: A speech recognition framework receives information about a recognized phrase from a speech engine. The framework identifies the application that is a focus of the recognized phrase. The framework then selects a handler function based on the recognized phrase and the application. The framework calls the handler function, which responds to the phrase.
