  • Publication number: 20160292148
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for predicting an image/label relevant to text input by a user. In a first aspect, there is provided a system comprising a means for receiving text input by a user and a prediction means trained on sections of text associated with an image/label. The prediction means is configured to receive the text input by the user, determine the relevance of the text input by the user to the sections of text associated with the image/label, and predict on image/label the basis of the sections of text associated with the language model 10 image/label the relevance of the image/label to the text input by the user. The systems and methods of the present invention reduce the burden of entering an image/label.

  • Patent number: 9409134
    Abstract: Air gap eductor with backflow deflector deflects backflowing liquid, preventing backflowing liquid from contaminating water supply by contacting water jet nozzle above air gap. Backflow deflector plate blocks 40-80% of rim area at opening at upper end of eductor discharge tube, leaving 60-20% of rim area unblocked. With bifurcated asymmetry of from 40% to 100%, blocked and unblocked rim areas deflect backflowing liquid laterally, away from water jet nozzle.

  • Patent number: 9069899
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to assisting software development. In aspects, a software development environment may display code and information about the code on a user interface. In one example, the information includes diagnostic information about the code. The information may be represented by actionable tags that allow the software developer to drill-down and obtain more detailed information about the code. The information may be automatically obtained by the software development environment in a way that does not interfere with the development activities of the software developer. The actionable tags are displayed in close proximity to code with which they are associated.

  • Publication number: 20150160070
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining an operational state of a motor are described. The apparatus includes a sensor or detecting vibration and a processor coupled to the sensor. The processor converts sensed vibration signals into the frequency domain to produce a vibration characteristic, and determines a current operational state of the motor based on the vibration characteristic, wherein the current operation state is determined from at least two different operational states including at least one idle state and at least one working state.

  • Patent number: 8734088
    Abstract: A variable stator vane in a gas turbine engine has a journal provided with a circumferential recess. An aperture extends from the recess to a face of the journal directed towards the aerofoil portion of the vane. In operation of the engine, heated air, for example from a downstream compressor stage of the engine is admitted to the recess and flows through the aperture to, for example, the pressure surface of the aerofoil portion. The aerofoil portion is thereby heated, so preventing ice accretion on the vane.

  • Publication number: 20140075364
    Abstract: A code stream provides a historical view of changes to program code and related actions. The code stream is displayed concurrently with the code for reference, navigation, editing, sharing, and to aid in interruption recovery. The code stream automatically constructs a list of visited code segments based on user changes to the code or navigation within the code. The code stream is an activity history that is constructed based on analysis of user navigation behavior, such as specific edits to the code or dwelling in a section of the code. The user has the ability to undo changes in the code in a non-linear fashion by individually reversing changes from the history listed in the code stream. The user may manually add other non-code items to the code stream.
