Abstract: The technology relates to allowing a user to enter text into text boxes using a stylus. For instance, first user input identifying a text box displayed on a display of the computing device may be received. Based on the received first user input, a handwriting field may be generated on the display without visual impact on the display. A second user input within the handwriting field may be received. The second user input may be converted into typed text, and the typed text may be displayed in the text box.

Abstract: A document of written content may be obtained. The document may be a candidate for inclusion in a corpus. A first entity associated with the document may be identified. A first discrete entity associated with the first entity may be identified. The relationship associated with the first entity and the first discrete entity may be analyzed. Based on the analyzing, a likelihood that the document contains content that would be detrimental for inclusion in the corpus may be determined.

Abstract: A distension/compression device for assisting breathing in a subject is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first tube includes a flexible and elastic material that forms a first tube lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the first tube. Longitudinal expansion of the first tube is restricted less than radial expansion of the first tube. A connection element including a first air supply port is in fluid communication with an open proximal end of the first tube lumen and attached to a proximal end of the first tube. A method for assisting breathing of a patient and a method for assisting the clearing of secretions is also included.

Abstract: Devices and methods for assisting breathing in a subject are described. In one embodiment, a device includes a splint that can be used to apply negative distending pressure, i.e., outward pull, to one or both of the chest walls and/or the abdomen of a subject. The splint may include an air bladder that can be attached to the skin of the subject's chest and/or abdomen. When the air bladder is inflated, negative distending pressure is applied to the subject's chest and/or abdomen, thereby assisting or promoting respiration. The inflated air bladder may also apply a compressive force on the chest to facilitate expiration, and the removal of secretions in the airways.

Abstract: The present invention relates to devices and methods for assisting breathing in a subject. In one embodiment, the device of the present invention is a splint that can be used to apply negative distending pressure, i.e., outward pull, to one or both of the chest walls and/or the abdomen of a subject. In certain embodiments, the splint comprises an air bladder that can be attached to the skin of the subject's chest and/or abdomen. When the air bladder is inflated, negative distending pressure is applied to the subject's chest and/or abdomen, thereby assisting or promoting respiration. In another embodiment, the splint comprises a piezoelectric material that when activated can provide negative distending pressure to the subject's chest and/or abdomen. In another embodiment, the subject is a neonate. In another embodiment, the inflated air bladder can apply a compressive force on the chest to facilitate expiration, and the removal of secretions in the airways.

Abstract: A valve stem sealing unit (65) for forming a seal round a valve stem (41, 43) of a poppet valve (19, 21) in an engine (1) having a body (5, 7, 13) and operated by a working fluid, the valve stem sealing unit (65) including: a housing (67) defining a through passage (79) running from a first end to a second end, the through passage (69) being arranged to receive a portion of the valve stem (41, 43); a first seal (85) arranged to form a seal between the valve stem (41, 43) and the housing (69) to prevent egress of the working fluid from the first end of the housing (69); and a second seal (89) arranged to form a seal between the housing (69) and a body (5, 7, 13) of the engine (1) to prevent egress of the working fluid from the second end of the housing (69).

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques for implementing Transparent PSTN Failover. In some embodiments, a VoIP switch might receive a call request for connection between a calling party at a calling telephone number (“TN”) and a called party at a called TN. Based on a determination that connection via a session border controller (“SBC”) between the VoIP switch and an Internet Protocol (“IP”) gateway has been lost, the VoIP switch might route the call request to a PSTN redirect TN through the PSTN. One of the Class 5 switch of the PSTN or the IP gateway might replace the redirect TN with the called TN, based on a determination that the redirect TN represents a PSTN failover. The IP gateway may then route the call request to an IP PBX for terminating (establishing) the call connection between calling party and called party, without interception by an operator, receptionist, or auto attendant.
