  • Patent number: 12057114
    Abstract: A media content steering solution is provided to identify a user query to steer playback of media content that is currently playing or has been played. The user steering query can include a voice request for playing media content that is relatively different from the media content being currently played or having been played. The media content steering solution analyzes the utterance of the user query and uses it to identify such different content that satisfies the user intent contained in the user query.

  • Patent number: 11653048
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and related products that provide enhanced personalized media content experiences. Past media content consumption is inferred based on requests for media content selection associated with a time or period of time in the past. The requests are fulfilled by selecting one or more media content items from the inferred media content consumption.

  • Publication number: 20230118968
    Abstract: A system for displaying a plurality of hemostatic indexes is disclosed. The system includes a communication receiver configured to receive the hemostatic indexes and a graphical user interface (GUI) connected to the communication receiver and configured to simultaneously display the hemostatic indexes. The hemostatic indexes are derived from a plurality of independent measurements, such as the mechanical measurements determined using the sonorheometry systems and processes.

  • Patent number: 8714915
    Abstract: An exemplary axial flow steam turbine is disclosed which includes a motor, a turbine casing and at least first and second turbine stages, with the second turbine stage being located adjacent to and downstream from the first turbine stage. A radially outer static diaphragm ring of the second turbine stage includes an annular axial extension extending in an upstream axial direction and carrying a circumferential tip sealing device which cooperates with shrouds of a circumferential row of moving blades of the first turbine stage. An upstream end of the annular axial extension is axially spaced from a radially outer static diaphragm ring of the first turbine stage such that a circumferential passage is defined between the upstream end of the annular axial extension and the radially outer static diaphragm ring of the first turbine stage. Solid particles are diverted from steam flow by a circumferential passage during operation.

  • Patent number: 8262359
    Abstract: A turbine diaphragm includes an annulus of static blades and an outer diaphragm ring surrounding the annulus of static blades and welded to the outer platforms. Each static blade has an inner platform, an aerofoil, and an outer platform. The inner platforms serve the function of an inner diaphragm ring, thereby reducing material and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, confronting edges of the inner platforms have an interference fit with each other and the aerofoils are in a state of torsional stress between the inner and outer platforms. The latter two features improve the dynamic characteristics of the diaphragm.
