Publication number: 20210012062Abstract: This application is directed to recognizing unstructured information based on hints provided by structured information. A computer system obtains unstructured information collected from a handwritten or audio source, and identifies one or more terms from the unstructured information. The one or more terms includes a first term that is ambiguous. The computer system performs a recognition operation on the first term to derive a first plurality of candidate terms for the first term, and obtains first contextual information from an information template associated with the unstructured information. In accordance with the first contextual information, the computer system selects a first answer term from the first plurality of candidate terms, such that the first term is recognized as the first answer term.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Inventors: Chris O'Neill, Andrew Malcolm, Alexander Pashintsev, Eugene Livshitz, Boris Gorbatov, Natalia Galaktionova, IIya Buryak

Patent number: 9653063Abstract: An acoustic reflector comprises a shell surrounding a solid elastomeric core free of joints. The shell transmits acoustic waves incident on the surface of the shell partially into the core to be focused and reflected from an area of the shell located opposite to the area of incidence so as to provide a reflected acoustic signal output from the reflectorpartially around the circumference of the shell and to combine constructively with the reflected acoustic signal output. The ratio of the speed of sound wave transmission in the shell to the average speed of the wave transmission in the core is preferably in the range of 2.74 to 3.4 best results being in the range of 2.74 to 2.86 inclusive.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: SUBSEA ASSET LOCATION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITEDInventors: Carl Peter Tiltman, Andrew Malcolm Tulloch
