Publication number: 20170242914Abstract: An offline semantic processor of a resource-constrained voice-enabled device such as a mobile device utilizes an offline grammar model with reduced resource requirements to parse voice-based queries. In various implementations, a query issued at a resource-constrained device may be semantically processed to identify candidate responsive actions that are performable by the resource-constrained device. Candidate responsive action performance statistics may be analyzed to select, from the one or more candidate responsive actions, a qualifying responsive action. In various implementations, the candidate responsive action performance statistics may relate to performance of the one or more candidate responsive actions by the resource-constrained device following issuance of the query.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2016Publication date: August 24, 2017Inventors: Yuli Gao, Sangsoo Sung, Pedro Jose Moreno Mengibar

Publication number: 20100022628Abstract: The invention relates to a method for combating disorders affecting the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system by allotopic expression of the cyanide-insensitive alternative oxidase (AOX) in human cells. The successful expression of AOX in human cells and in Drosophila has been shown to confer spectacular cyanide-resistance to mitochondrial substrate oxidation, alleviate oxidative stress, apoptosis susceptibility and metabolic acidosis. AOX is well tolerated when expressed ubiquitously in the whole organism. AOX expression is a valuable tool to limit the deleterious consequences of respiratory chain deficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2009Publication date: January 28, 2010Inventors: Pierre Jean Frederic Rustin, Howard T.

Patent number: 7278527Abstract: The respective proportions of currency items of different denominations in a multi-denominational store are adjusted in accordance with future change requirements for the different denominations. This is achieved by inhibiting the sending of a particular denomination to the store if the number of currency items of that denomination currently contained in the store exceeds a threshold, leaving more room for currency items of other denominations. There is also disclosed a multi-denominational banknote store which stores banknotes individually in radial regions of a drum, and which can rotate to bring each region into registry with an input/output conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2001Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: MEI, Inc.Inventors: Jerome Daout, Juan-Jose Moreno, Christian Bercovitz

Publication number: 20060181050Abstract: The present invention provides a rectilinear vertical pedal system for an occupant propelled vehicle that has objects of improved ease of use, improved power transmission, and improved stability of the vehicle. Attached at a lower end to a base of the vehicle frame is a substantially vertical linear shuttle guide that contains a linear channel with a moveable shuttle attached to a foot pedal. The vehicle occupant moves the shuttle down through the linear channel by exerting downward force on the pedal. This causes rotational energy to be transferred through a transmission mechanism to a propeller, such as a wheel, attached to the vehicle frame, thus moving the vehicle. A spring mechanism is used to return the shuttle back towards the top of the linear channel so that the user may again, as desired, move the pedal downwards and impart more rotational energy to the propeller, and move the vehicle forward.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2005Publication date: August 17, 2006Inventor: Jose Moreno
