Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle seating arrangement may include structural units positioned along a longitudinal axis of a vehicle. Each structural unit may include a frame supported relative to the vehicle, a lower seating suite generally facing a forward portion of the vehicle, and an upper seating suite generally facing an aft portion of the vehicle. Each of the lower and upper seating suites may be configurable between an upright seating position and a lie-flat seating position. Further, each of the lower seating suit and the upper seating suit of each structural unit may include an integrated seat pan and extension positioned in same for optionally configuring the respective seating suite in either the upright seating position or the lie-flat seating position.

Abstract: A vehicular seating suite configuration may include a plurality of vertically stacked seating suites configured to be positioned within a vehicle. Each seating suite may include an elongated generally horizontal seating surface angled away from a longitudinal axis of a vehicle and a generally vertical backrest portion adjacent to a proximal end of the elongated generally horizontal seating surface. The elongated generally horizontal seating surface and the generally vertical backrest portion may be configured to accommodate a person in a sitting position and the elongated generally horizontal seating surface may be configured to accommodate a person in a lying position.

Abstract: Interactive natural language processing (NLP) results may be generated that allow a user to interact with the NLP results but do so in an offline manner so that the documents being processed need not be stored online. To provide interactive NLP results, event handlers may be attached to elements of the NLP results. A user may then select a word or phrase of the NLP results to cause computer software provided with the NLP to present the interactive features. For example, a user may click on a definite noun phrase to view information for diagnosing antecedent basis errors. For another example, a user may click on a word to view information about how that word is used in a document, such as viewing portions of the document that include the word or variants of the word.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing media content emitted from various sources is presented. Arrival timing of outputs from the various sources to a particular location is determined and adjusted to reduce synchronization delays at the particular location. Synchronization delays may be determined by detecting the media output from a combination of sources arriving at the location. Control messages are generated by processing the detected output and determining delays to be applied to corresponding sources.

Abstract: In a distributed automated speech recognition (ASR) system, speech models may be employed on a local device to allow the local device to process frequently spoken utterances while passing other utterances to a remote device for processing. Upon receiving an audio signal, the local device compares the audio signal to the speech models of the frequently spoken utterances to determine whether the audio signal matches one of the speech models. When the audio signal matches one of the speech models, the local device processes the utterance, for example by executing a command. When the audio signal does not match one of the speech models, the local device transmits the audio signal to a second device for ASR processing. This reduces latency and the amount of audio signals that are sent to the second device for ASR processing.
