  • Publication number: 20250124927
    Abstract: Systems and processes for providing textual representations for a communication session are provided. For example, at least one audio input is received at an electronic device, wherein each audio input of the at least one audio input is associated with a respective priority level. A priority level of an audio input detected at a microphone of the electronic device is determined, wherein a highest priority level among the determined priority level and each received priority level corresponding to the at least one audio input is identified. A textual representation of a respective audio input corresponding to the identified highest priority level is obtained, wherein the obtained textual representation is displayed on a display of the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20240113905
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for transcription of audio content during a conferencing session, such as an audio conferencing session or a video conferencing session. The transcription can be generated by the device at which the audio input is received, and transmitted to a remote device at which the transcription is displayed. Video content can also be provided from the device that generates the transcription to the remote device that displays in the transcription. The transcription can be provided with time information corresponding to time information in the video content, for synchronized display of the transcription and the corresponding video content.

  • Patent number: 4379081
    Abstract: A method of encapsulating radioactive waste including withdrawing radioactive liquid having a retardant therein from a source. The retardant may including borates, or other additives, which retard the setting of cements by preventing hydration at cement particles in the mix. The liquid is mixed with ordinary Portland cement and subjected to long term shear far in excess of that needed to form ordinary grout. The use of shear to overcome set retardation, and similarly, the deliberate regulation of acceleration of set in hydraulic cement pastes by the utilization of retardants plus shear produces a thixotropic paste with extreme moldability which will not bleed, and finally sets more rapidly than can be expected with normal mixing to form a very strong product.
