  • Patent number: 10616666
    Abstract: Embodiments of the systems, methods, and computer readable medium devices disclosed herein provide a sentiment analysis system that can determine sentiment from an input of a user received from a device. Once the input is received, parsing and analysis can be performed to determine a particular sentiment corresponding to the input. The system can determine an overall sentiment of some or all of the users or viewers watching a particular video stream, such as a live video stream. The determined overall sentiment can represent a metric indicating what users generally feel about a portion of the video stream, and the system can use the determination to cause modification of the video stream or a future video stream to enhance the user experience.

  • Publication number: 20080138553
    Abstract: By advancing a plurality of independent layers or profiles onto a rotating mandrel, and continuously bonding the layers or profiles together, an elongated, hollow, large diameter, multi-component and/or multi-layer tube or conduit is achieved. A wide variety of various materials, forms, profiles, composites, and components can be employed to produce the desired multi-component/multi-layer tube or conduit of the present invention. In this way, the multi-component and/or multi-layer tube or conduit is constructed possessing specific physical and structural attributes particularly suited to the needs of one or more industries or technological areas. As a result, prior art expensive manufacturing methods are completely eliminated and an effective, cost-efficient, multi-component/multi-layer tube or conduit having precisely desired requirements is realized.

  • Patent number: 6189837
    Abstract: An improvement is presented for use in aircraft that have a battery (26), a hydraulically-operated aircraft component (such as a spoiler), and a hydraulic system having a return line (R). The improvement includes a hydraulic transfer cylinder assembly (20) for moving a particular aircraft component (32) in a desired direction during an emergency situation. A preferred assembly (50) includes a housing (52) having a cartridge (62) that is mounted directly to the housing base. The housing includes a first compartment (54), a second compartment (56) fillable with a hydraulic fluid, and a piston (58) separating the first and second compartments. The second compartment has an output port (53) that is in hydraulic communication with the particular aircraft component. The cartridge (62) includes a main firing element.

  • Patent number: 5841706
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array which is composed of a plurality of memory cells arranged in a matrix manner. Each of rows of the memory cell array is connected to a word line and each of columns of the memory cell array is connected to a pair of bit lines, and one of the word lines and one of the pairs of bit lines are selected in accordance with an address such that one of the plurality of memory cells is selected. An internal signal generating section generates a first activation signal in response to input of the address, and a power supply voltage detecting section determines whether a power supply voltage is higher than a predetermined voltage and generates a voltage detection signal when the power supply voltage is higher than the predetermined voltage. The selected word line is normally set to the power supply voltage and is set to a boosted voltage in response to the voltage detection signal. The boosted voltage is higher than the power supply voltage.
