  • Patent number: 9652454
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a translator quality assurance system may rate a translation using a mapping chart. A data interface 150 may access a translation dictionary matching a source language to a target language. A processor 120 may map automatically a sentence pair having a source sentence 310 in a source language and a target sentence 320 in a target language at a linguistic level using the translation dictionary. A user output device 170 may display a translation quality report of the target sentence 320.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6094714
    Abstract: A parallel processing system computer which utilizes the logic programming language Prolog comprising a plurality of processing nodes, each node comprising three central processing units (CPUs), a memory architecture adapted for Prolog execution and interfacing hardware, each processing node being connected to a communication bus and a real-time broadcast bus whereby the real-time data from an input can be broadcast via the real-time broadcast bus to each processing node. One of the CPUs is used to control the communications and scheduling of the node, the other two CPUs are used as sequential Prolog Processors (SPPS). Each node can be arranged such that the collection of unused memory is carried out by one SPP while another SPP continues to run Prolog program enabling continuous real-time operation. The memory architecture is hybrid and comprises local static RAM and global dynamic RAM. The dynamic RAM comprises a Prolog database of known signal for comparison with the real-time input signals.
