Abstract: There is provided a method of speech-to-speech translation including receiving at a mobile device input speech data associated with speech in a first language and converting the input speech data into input text data using a speech-to-text conversion engine (STT engine) onboard the mobile device. The method also includes translating the input text data to form a translated text data using a text-to-text translation engine (TTT engine) onboard the mobile device. The translated text data is associated with a second language. In addition, the method includes converting the translated text data into output speech data using a text-to-speech conversion engine (TTS engine) onboard the mobile device, and outputting at the mobile device a device output based on the output speech data. Mobile devices and computer-readable storage media for speech-to-speech translation are also provided.

Abstract: Methods for production of ethanol, distiller's corn oil, and enhanced co-products are disclosed. Methods include obtaining a mixture of one or more co-products of an alcohol production process, which may include wet cake, performing hydrolysis of polysaccharides in the mixture to generate fermentable sugars, fermenting the fermentable sugars in the mixture to produce alcohol, distilling the mixture to remove alcohol from the mixture thereby producing alcohol-containing distillate and enhanced whole stillage, removing released oil from the fermented mixture before distillation and/or from the enhanced whole stillage after distillation, and recovering enhanced wet distiller's grains, enhanced thin stillage, and/or enhanced dried distiller's grains. Compositions disclosed herein include enhanced dried distiller's grains having a cmde protein content of at least 45% on a dry weight basis and having a total fat content of less than 10% on a dry weight basis.

Abstract: An electro-hydraulic valve actuator having a modular manifold assembly with a network of channels that fluidly connect a hydraulic cylinder assembly to a hydraulic power assembly. The hydraulic cylinder assembly includes a piston rod that can directly or indirectly open or close a process valve. The hydraulic power assembly has a main pump and motor, and the manifold assembly includes a main manifold block to which is mounted the hydraulic cylinder assembly and the main pump and motor. The main manifold block has pluggable channel ports that can be unplugged to provide fluid communication with corresponding channel ports of at least one auxiliary manifold block that can be mounted to and integrated with the main manifold block. The at least one auxiliary manifold block has either a second pump and motor or a manual override pump.

Abstract: A valve actuator control system, and a related manifold. The control system includes a pneumatic directional valve operable to move the actuator. The manifold has multiple internal channels and is mountable to the pneumatic directional valve in alternative connections so that one internal channel of the manifold is active and the others are non-active, so that the manifold and pneumatic directional valve can provide operability of the actuator in a plurality of different fail modes.

Abstract: A fluid-powered actuator comprises a cylindrical body having a base proximate one extremity and a head proximate another extremity, a piston-rod assembly and a sensor module made of a removable cover and a position sensor. The piston-rod assembly is slidably mounted inside the cylindrical body. The base is provided with an opening adapted to accommodate the sensor therethrough. In operation, the cover seals the opening. The position sensor is mounted to an internal face of the cover so that the position sensor is operatively located inside the cylindrical body when the cover is in place. The position sensor is operative to measure a position of the piston-rod assembly. A sensor module adapted to sealably close the opening in the base comprises the position sensor mounted to an internal face of a cover structure. In operation, the position sensor is operatively located inside the actuator when the cover structure closes the opening.

Abstract: A polysilicon resistor fuse has an elongated bow-tie body that is wider at the opposite ends relative to a narrow central portion. The opposite ends of the body of the fuse have high concentrations of N-type dopants to make them low resistance contacts. The upper portion of the central body has a graded concentration of N-type dopants that decreases in a direction from the top surface toward the middle of the body between the opposite surfaces. The lower central portion of the body is lightly doped with P-type dopants. The central N-type region is a resistive region.

Abstract: An offset print unit includes a plate cylinder having an end, a rotatable plate cylinder support supporting the end and having a first bearing surface, a blanket cylinder having a blanket cylinder end, a rotatable blanket cylinder support supporting the end and having a second bearing surface and an actuating device for rotating the plate cylinder support and the blanket cylinder support, the first and second bearing surfaces contacting during a part of the rotation of the supports. A method is also provided.

Abstract: An extended pocket type air filter formed of a single rectangular frame enclosing and locking a plurality of parallel header plates each having complementary projections and grooves on opposite edges, the complementary projections of one header fitting into the grooves of an adjacent header and securing pocket type air filter medium between them. A rivet secures ends of the frame to each other about the header plates.
