Abstract: Systems and processes are provided for transforming a style of a message. A processor is configured to facilitate determining a message (111) to be transmitted. Further, the message processor can facilitate selecting one or more styles responsive to a determination of a context (113) associated with the message; and can modify the message (127) in accordance with the context to provide a message having a re-configured style (145). The context can be determined from, for example, the recipient of the message (117), the content of the message (119), the context of the message (121), and/or a context of the processor (123). Optionally, pre-determined messages can be stored, wherein the user can select the message from the predetermined messages (101). In accordance with one or more embodiments, the message processor can be utilized in a communication device.

Abstract: A method and device for generating meaningful compound words is provided. A user interface (120, 212) is configured to receive data input corresponding to one or more compound words. A processor (206) is configured to identify word combinations of shorter words that may be combined to form a portion or all of the one or more compound words. A display (118, 208) is configured to show the word combinations in a priority based on one or more criteria, such as distinguishing word combinations having different quantities of shorter words.

Abstract: A method of assessing vehicle operator performance includes the steps of receiving vehicle operating data (502); monitoring an interior portion of the vehicle and receiving operator activity data from the interior portion vehicle (504); receiving vehicle environment data from the environment external to the vehicle (506); monitoring the vehicle operator and receiving operator condition data (508); and determining an operator assessment value (510). The operator assessment value is based upon the vehicle operating data, the operator activity data, the environment data and the operator condition data and is indicative of vehicle operator performance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are used for encoding (310) and decoding (408) a message encoded with at least one entertainment component after receiving the message contents from a sender. Instructions from the sender are used for selecting (304) the encoding method for the message content to provide the entertainment component. When the selected encoding method is not available locally, it may be downloaded (306) to the electronic device (200). The encoded message may be supplemented (316) with descriptive information regarding the encoding method used to provide the entertainment component of the encoded message. The encoded message may include aural, haptic and visual elements as part of the entertainment component. The entertainment component may include optional game elements requiring a recipient or viewer to play (410) the game to view (412) the message contents.

Abstract: A method (500) of informing a vehicle operator to improve the operator's performance includes the steps of receiving vehicle operating data (502); monitoring an interior portion of the vehicle and receiving operator activity data from the interior portion of the vehicle (504); receiving vehicle environment data (506); monitoring the vehicle operator and receiving operator condition data relating to a condition of the vehicle operator (508); estimating an operator cognitive load (510); and prioritizing vehicle information based upon the operator cognitive load for selectively informing the operator of the vehicle information (512).

Abstract: A portable electronic device (100,400) and user interface (425) are operated using a method including initiating entry of a content string; determining the most probable completion alternative or a content prediction using a personalized and learning database (430); displaying the most probable completion alternative or next content prediction; determining whether a user has accepted the most probable completion alternative or next content prediction; and adding the most probable completion alternative or next content prediction to the content string upon user acceptance.

Abstract: In an needle bar drawing device or gill box comprising needle bars carried by chains is arranged a bristle mat consisting of one or few layers of bristles extending along the whole needle field up to the proximity of a clamping gap formed between a pair of exit rollers. The bristle mat is penetrated by the needles of the needle field and creates a stripping effect at the disappearing position of the needles in the region of the nip, this stripping effect avoiding the conveying of fibers freely swimming in the sliver, and thus the danger and disadvantage of any lap forming.

Abstract: The invention concerns a needle bar draw frame or gill box with a needle field or gilling area of needle bars carried by chains. With the aim of attaining the usual performances in respect of speed and drawing ratio at the same quality also in the case of voluminous short-staple slivers with draw frames operating with an upper and a lower needle field, control means engaging from above into the needle field are used in a draw frame provided merely with a lower needle field. These control means are constructed as bristle-like holding down devices which are arranged particularly immediately upstream of a pair of drawing rollers and possibly shortly downstream of a pair of entry rollers, while the central region is controlled in the usual manner by a bar roller or bar chain.
