  • Publication number: 20240126989
    Abstract: A method for suggesting revisions to a document-under-analysis from a seed database, the seed database including a plurality of original texts each respectively associated with one of a plurality of final texts, the method for suggesting revisions including selecting a statement-under-analysis (“SUA”), selecting a first original text of the plurality of original texts, determining a first edit-type classification of the first original text with respect to its associated final text, generating a first similarity score for the first original text based on the first edit-type classification, the first similarity score representing a degree of similarity between the SUA and the first original text, selecting a second original text of the plurality of original texts, determining a second edit-type classification of the second original text with respect to its associated final text, generating a second similarity score for the second original text based on the second edit-type classification, the second similarity

  • Patent number: 9596536
    Abstract: The present application describes bone conduction microphone (BCM) systems and applications thereof. An example apparatus includes: (a) an enclosing structure having a cavity therein, wherein a first portion of the enclosing structure is formed by an elastic material, and wherein the elastic material is moveable to transfer vibration from an exterior source to gas within the cavity; and (b) a microphone coupled to the enclosing structure and located within the gas-filled cavity, wherein gas in the cavity separates the microphone from the first portion of the enclosing structure, such that the vibration transferred from the exterior source to the gas in the cavity is detectable by the microphone.

  • Publication number: 20070033124
    Abstract: A method of administering income distributions from an employer-sponsored retirement plan having a participant account value comprises providing an option to a plan participant to elect lifetime payout funded by at least a portion of the participant's account value; providing an option to the participant to elect an excess period during which a participant maintains control over the portion of the account value; transferring the portion of the participant's account value into a group annuity contract; determining an initial benefit payment under the terms of the group annuity contract; determining a subsequent benefit payment; and paying the initial and subsequent payments to the participant. Other embodiments include one or more of these, and the step of determining a charge to be paid by the participant for the guaranteed lifetime payout.

  • Patent number: 6946736
    Abstract: Provided is a process for lithographically patterning a material on a substrate comprising the steps of (a) depositing a radiation sensitive material on the substrate by chemical vapor deposition; (b) selectively exposing the radiation sensitive material to radiation to form a pattern; and (c) developing the pattern using a supercritical fluid (SCF) as a developer. Also disclosed is a microstructure formed by the foregoing process. Also disclosed is a process for lithographically patterning a material on a substrate wherein after steps (a) and (b) above, the pattern is developed using a dry plasma etch. Also disclosed is a microstructure comprising a substrate; and a patterned dielectric layer, wherein the patterned dielectric layer comprises at least one two-dimensional feature having a dimensional tolerance more precise than 7%.

  • Publication number: 20050062036
    Abstract: Supermolecular structures and devices made from same. Semiconductor materials and devices are manufactured and provided which use controlled, discrete distribution of and positioning of single impurity atoms or molecules within a host matrix to take advantage of single charge effects. Single-dopant pn junctions and single-dopant bipolar cells are created. Each bipolar cell can function as a bistable device or an oscillator, depending on operating temperature. The cells can be used alone or in an array to make useful devices by adding an insulating substrate and contact electrodes.
