Abstract: Techniques and systems can process data of a dataset to determine when a portion of data is comprised in the data of the dataset. An output generated from processing the data of the dataset can be evaluated, where the output can signify that processing the data of the dataset was unable to locate the portion of data in the data of the dataset. Based on evaluating the output, the data of the dataset can be automatically reprocessed to determine the portion of data is in the data of the dataset. A result can then be generated from the portion of data determined to be in the data of the dataset.

Abstract: Generation of expressive content is provided. An expressive synthesized speech system provides improved voice authoring user interfaces by which a user is enabled to efficiently author content for generating expressive output. An expressive synthesized speech system provides an expressive keyboard for enabling input of textual content and for selecting expressive operators, such as emoji objects or punctuation objects for applying predetermined prosody attributes or visual effects to the textual content. A voicesetting editor mode enables the user to author and adjust particular prosody attributes associated with the content for composing carefully-crafted synthetic speech. An active listening mode (ALM) is provided, which when selected, a set of ALM effect options are displayed, wherein each option is associated with a particular sound effect and/or visual effect. The user is enabled to rapidly respond with expressive vocal sound effects or visual effects while listening to others speak.

Abstract: Speech generating devices, communication systems, and methods for communicating using the devices and systems are disclosed herein. In certain examples, a communication system is configured to receive a generated communication, establish a connection between a speech generating device and a computing device subsequent to receipt of the generated communication, and transmit the generated communication to the computing device. In other examples, a computing device is configured to establish a connection with a speech generating device, and receive a transmission generated by the speech generating device following the connection, the transmission including previously generated communications or real-time communication segments or proxies.

Abstract: Speech generating devices, communication systems, and methods for communicating using the devices and systems are disclosed herein. In certain examples, the speech generating device includes a display device and an input device configured to generate a communication to be displayed on the display device, wherein the speech generating device is configured to allow a user to select between playing the generated communication through a speaker and transmitting the generated communication via a communication network to a computing device separate from the speech generating device. In certain examples, the computing device may be designated with other computing devices of other conversation partners within a conversation group.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for calculating an overall risk associated with a project. A set of activities of the project are extracted by an interface module, where the set of activities are assorted into a set of predetermined categories, each category comprising a plurality of phases of execution of the project. A risk value of the each activity can be retrieved from the database. Further, an associated risk value of the each activity can be aggregated by an aggregating module, for calculation of the overall risk.

Abstract: An articulated hinge allowing non-circular motion of a refrigerator door and having a mechanism for transmitting utilities through the hinge is provided. A support rod for preventing torsional deformation of a refrigerator door adapted to carry utilities to an in-door dispenser is also provided.

Abstract: A hinge for controlling the movement of a door on a refrigerator is disclosed, the hinge allowing the refrigerator to be installed flush to adjacent cabinets. The door translates and rotates in order to allow access to the refrigerator cabinet interior without contacting the adjacent cabinets.

Abstract: A display system and methods provide for a large, high-resolution display that is scalable. The scalable display is made up of a number of smaller displays. The resolution of the scalable display is the combined resolutions of the smaller displays according to the vertical and horizontal layout of the smaller displays. The system includes an intermediate computer that acts as a primary client to a network computer to request and receive video data at the resolution of the scalable display. The intermediate computer reconfigures video data from a format consistent with the large, scalable display coordinates to a format consistent with the coordinates of the individual smaller displays. The intermediate computer sends reconfigured video data to the smaller displays (through clients) according to which portion of the scalable display each of the smaller displays supports.

Abstract: Systems and methods for incrementally updating a first image in flash memory of a device by downloading a differences file that identifies differences between the first image and a second image and applying the differences file to the first image to create the second image in the flash memory. The updating is performed incrementally by writing portions of the second image to the flash memory, each portion being of a standard block size acceptable for writing to the flash memory.
