Abstract: A method includes receiving a speech recognition result, and using a confidence estimation module (CEM), for each sub-word unit in a sequence of hypothesized sub-word units for the speech recognition result: obtaining a respective confidence embedding that represents a set of confidence features; generating, using a first attention mechanism, a confidence feature vector; generating, using a second attention mechanism, an acoustic context vector; and generating, as output from an output layer of the CEM, a respective confidence output score for each corresponding sub-word unit based on the confidence feature vector and the acoustic feature vector received as input by the output layer of the CEM. For each of the one or more words formed by the sequence of hypothesized sub-word units, the method also includes determining a respective word-level confidence score for the word. The method also includes determining an utterance-level confidence score by aggregating the word-level confidence scores.

Abstract: A dual-arm support apparatus comprised of a tubular length of a flexible material that encircles the arms, shoulders, and upper back. Elbows and forearms are comfortably supported in front of the body, and the weight is evenly distributed across the upper back with no pinch or pressure points. Symmetry of design allows for usage inside-out, or upside down. Flexibility of the material allows for non-restrictive arm support in a multitude of positions. The mildly compressive nature of the support may also induce a sense of comfort helping alleviate feelings of anxiety. A pocket may be included to serve as a stuff stack by which the apparatus may be stored when not in use, or to hold a mobile device or wallet during use.

Abstract: A gas analyzer uses continuous sonic signals through a conduit to determine the composition of a gas in the conduit. A transmitting transducer drives sonic signals at a fixed frequency and a second transducer receives the sonic signals. The phase shift between two signals corresponds to the speed of sound through the gas and is related to the composition of the gas. The electronic versions of these signals are processed by lowering, or dividing, the fixed frequency which expands the range of phase shift measurement and allows the determination of an expanded range for the gas composition. In an ozone generation system, the gas analyzer is highly suitable for determining the composition of gases derived from air as a gas of known composition and a calibration point.

Abstract: A batteryless wireless sensor system includes a data acquisition system, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, and a batteryless wireless sensor device. The RF transceiver is in communication with the data acquisition system, transmits a RF signal, and receives sensor data and provide the sensor data to the data acquisition system. The batteryless wireless sensor device includes a RF transmitter, an analog to digital converter (ADC), and a sensor. The batteryless wireless sensor harvests energy from the RF signal and generates a DC signal based on the energy harvested from the RF signal, powers up and operates the ADC and the sensor based on the DC signal, and generates sensor data. The batteryless wireless sensor then transmits the sensor data via the RF transmitter to the RF transceiver. In certain examples, the ADC is implemented as a current mode ADC.
