  • Publication number: 20240078374
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to causing emoji(s) that are associated with a given emotion class expressed by a spoken utterance to be visually rendered for presentation to a user at a display of a client device of the user. Processor(s) of the client device may receive audio data that captures the spoken utterance, process the audio data to generate textual data that is predicted to correspond to the spoken utterance, and cause a transcription of the textual data to be visually rendered for presentation to the user via the display. Further, the processor(s) may determine, based on processing the textual data, whether the spoken utterance expresses a given emotion class. In response to determining that the spoken utterance expresses the given emotion class, the processor(s) may cause emoji(s) that are stored in association with the given emotion class to be visually rendered for presentation to the user via the display.

  • Patent number: 9423305
    Abstract: A test apparatus for testing an IR sensor of train undercarriage temperatures is disclosed. The IR sensor may be used to obtain infrared IR emission data by sensing a wheel or a wheel bearing of a rail vehicle. The test apparatus may comprise a heat emitter for supplying IR emissions at a reference temperature to the IR sensor. A support may support the heat emitter at a position spaced from the passage of the rail vehicle and in an orientation for directing the IR emissions at the IR sensor.

  • Patent number: 9336277
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating query suggestions based on search data. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by one or more computers, a first query, determining query refinements based on the first query, generating, from the query refinements, refinement clusters, each refinement cluster corresponding to a particular topic and each refinement cluster including query refinements that are determined to belong to the particular topic to which the refinement cluster corresponds, ranking the refinement clusters, and selecting the refinement cluster that is highest in the ranking relative to other refinement clusters in the ranking as a first search refinement cluster for the first query.

    Abstract: An apparatus for integrity verification of an IR detector that is configured to detect a temperature of an IR emission from an undercarriage component is described. The apparatus includes an IR emitter which emits an IR signal at a reference temperature and the IR signal is directed at the IR detector. A controller is connected to the IR detector and the IR emitter. The controller is configured to compare the reference temperature of the IR signal and the detected temperature of the IR signal to determine the integrity of the IR detector.
