    Abstract: A foldable air cushioned structure formed by two outer films, comprises a plurality of heat-sealing lines, air cylinders, nodes and clasp points. The heat-sealing lines are arranged in order for attaching parts of two outer films. The air cylinders are positioned between heat-sealing lines. The nodes are formed inside the air cylinders for attaching parts of the inner surfaces of two outer films, and arranged in lines perpendicular to the heat-sealed lines to form foldable lines. The clasp points are formed on the outer surface of two outer films for attaching parts of the outer surfaces of two outer films. After folding the air cylinder along the folding lines, the air cylinders forms two side portions, at least one supporting portion, and at least two bottom portions. The supporting portion forms at least one convex for supporting an object by the pressure along the long-axis of the air cylinder.

  • Patent number: 8352263
    Abstract: The invention can recognize all languages and input words. It needs m unknown voices to represent m categories of known words with similar pronunciations. Words can be pronounced in any languages, dialects or accents. Each will be classified into one of m categories represented by its most similar unknown voice. When user pronounces a word, the invention finds its F most similar unknown voices. All words in F categories represented by F unknown voices will be arranged according to their pronunciation similarity and alphabetic letters. The pronounced word should be among the top words. Since we only find the F most similar unknown voices from m (=500) unknown voices and since the same word can be classified into several categories, our recognition method is stable for all users and can fast and accurately recognize all languages (English, Chinese and etc.) and input much more words without using samples.
