Patent number: 11977569Abstract: Disclosed is a natural language processing pipeline that analyzes and processes a corpus of textual data to automatically create a knowledge graph containing the corpus entities such as subjects and object and their relationships such as predicates or verbs. The pipeline is configured as an end-to-end neural Open Schema Construction pipeline having a coreference resolution module, an open information extraction (OIE) module, and an entity canonicalization module. The processed textual data is input to a graph database to create the knowledge graph displayable through a graphical user interface. In operation, the pipeline modules serve to create a single term for all entity mentions in the corpus that reference the same entity through coreference resolution, extract all subject-predicate-object triplets from the coreference resolved corpus through OIE, and then canonicalize the corpus by clustering each entity mention to a canonical form for mapping to the knowledge graph and display.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: The United States of America, Represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Michael Lynn Potter, Natalie Lynn Larson, Amy Cheng, Hovanes Keseyan, Hanh Servin

Patent number: 8498436Abstract: In a hearing aid provision can be made for a housing that is worn outside of an auditory canal of a user. Then, sound or electrical signals are conducted into the auditory canal from the housing. To this end, provision can be made for a conducting element such as a sound tube or a cable. The conducting element is then connected to the housing via a coupling element. This connection must be embodied such that the coupling element does not detach from the housing on its own accord. The user must be able to remove the coupling element and the conducting element from the housing in a simple fashion in order e.g. to be able to clean the former two parts. Accordingly, a coupling element and a housing can be interconnected in a detachable fashion, with this connection containing a dovetail joint for the hearing aid.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Siemens Medical Instruments Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Phanhow Amy Cheng, Markus Heerlein, Harald Klemenz, Cheoung Hong Lee, Meng Kiang Lim

Patent number: 8477971Abstract: The fitting of hearing aids and other hearing devices is intended to be made more comfortable. For this, provision is made for a hearing device with a housing which contains a signal processing unit and has a sound outlet. A supporting hook for attaching the hearing device to an ear or a head can be fixed on the sound outlet of the housing such that sound emanating from the sound outlet is guided through the supporting hook. A sensor for detecting the type of supporting hook is arranged in or on the housing. The sensor controls the signal processing unit as a function of the detected type of supporting hook. Thus, the user can for example use different types of supporting hooks without having to decide on a type of supporting hook during the first fitting. Moreover, the degree of mass production of the hearing aid can be further increased by the automatic recognition of the type of supporting hook.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Siemens Medical Instruments Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Hoong Yih Chan, Phanhow Amy Cheng, Leep Foong Chew, Cheoung Hong Lee, Meng Kiang Lim
