  • Patent number: 11815730
    Abstract: A sanitary in-line sight glass assembly is provided having separate first and second hollow connection bodies and a transparent tube retainable between and within the connection bodies when the connection bodies are secured together in an end-to-end abutting relationship. Gaskets are located within the connection bodies at opposite ends of the transparent tube and a clamp is provided for securing the ends of the connection bodies together such that the gaskets are compressed and form seals. The connection bodies include sidewalls having at least one opening through which the transparent tube is exposed for providing a viewing window into a flow path defined by the assembly. The clamp may be a circumferentially-extending clamp having ends secured together with a winged fastener able to be gripped by the hand of an installer such that the assembly can be assembled and disassembled manually without the use of a tool.

  • Patent number: 11817101
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program is provided for generating customized text representations of audio commands. A first speech recognition module may be used for generating a first text representation of an audio command based on a general language grammar. A second speech recognition module may be used for generating a second text representation of the audio command, the second module including a custom language grammar that may include contacts for a particular user. Entity extraction is applied to the second text representation and the entities are checked against a file containing personal language. If the entities are found in the user-specific language, the two text representations may be fused into a combined text representation and named entity recognition may be performed again to extract further entities.

  • Patent number: 11815937
    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for quantum error correction. A layered representation of error propagation through quantum error detection circuits is constructed. The layered representation includes multiple line circuit layers that each represent a probability of local detection events in a quantum computing system associated with potential error processes in an execution of a quantum algorithm. To construct the layered representation, potential detection events associated with each potential error process occurring at quantum gates in the quantum circuit are determined. Lines are associated with each potential error process, the lines each connecting a potential detection event associated with the potential error process to another potential detection event associated with the same potential error process or a boundary of the quantum circuit. Similar lines are merged and used to construct unique line circuit layers.

  • Patent number: 11816434
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each phrase word of a phrase to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a phrase word of the phrase. The method further includes obtaining inflection information for one or more phrase words of the phrase. The method further includes selecting an identigen of a first set of identigens based on the inflection information to produce a first identigen selection for the first set of identigens having a selected meaning of one or more different meanings of the first phrase word. The method further includes interpreting remaining sets of identigens of the sets of identigens to produce an entigen group so that the entigen group represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the phrase.
