Abstract: Systems and methods for providing supplemental information with a response to a command are provided herein. In some embodiments, audio data representing a spoken command may be received by a cloud-based information system. A response to the command may be retrieved from a category related to the context of the command. A supplemental information database may also be provided that is pre-populated with supplemental information related to an individual having a registered account on the cloud-based information system. In response to retrieving the response to the command, supplemental information may be selected from the supplemental information database to be appended to the response to the command. A message may then be generated including the response and the supplemental information appended thereto, which in turn may be converted into audio data representing the message, which may be sent to a voice-controlled electronic device of the individual.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results. These mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results can enable embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received. The ability of embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received can enable report results to be progressively rendered such that delay is avoided Which would otherwise occur when rendering only in response to receipt of an entirety of the report results.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a user system to interact asynchronously with the report generator when an operation is performed on a report in the report generator. The report generator relinquishes control to the user system to perform other operations while the report generator fetches data from the multi-tenant database necessary for the operation.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for generating a custom report using an on-demand database service. These mechanisms and methods for generating an on-demand database service custom report can enable embodiments to generate reports that reflect a relationship between at least two different objects. The ability of embodiments to provide such additional insight into database contents may lead to more efficient and effective reporting.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for managing data created in an on-demand service, utilizing a report. These mechanisms and methods for managing data created in an on-demand service can enable embodiments to derive data from reports in the form of analytic snapshots. The ability of embodiments to provide management may allow analytical snapshots to be generated and refreshed on a periodic basic such that historical data may be stored.

Abstract: A method for cutting lidstock units from a web of pre-printed lidstock, the steps of: a) providing a web of pre-printed lidstock comprising a plurality of lidstock units across its width and its length and provided with a plurality of registration marks, b) feeding the web in the direction of its length through a cutting region provided with a first and a second optical sensor, c) stopping the feeding of the web when the first optical sensor detects a registration mark, d) moving the web in the direction of its width until a second optical sensor detects the registration mark, e) cutting the web in the cutting region into lidstock units by means of cutters.

Abstract: A method and apparatus facilitate soft handover in a CDMA RAN (100) based on a requested set of soft handover parameters from a plurality of sets of soft handover parameters associated with a corresponding plurality of radio configurations. A mobile station (140) can request a set of soft handover parameters associated with a radio configuration. Candidate base stations (BTS 1-BTS N) can be added to an active list based on the soft handover parameters.

Abstract: To address the need for reducing audio overhang in wireless communication systems (e.g., 100), the present invention provides for the deletion of silent frames before they are converted to audio by the listening devices. The present invention only provides for the deletion of a portion of the silent frames that make up a period of silence or low voice activity in the speaker's audio. Voice frames that make up periods of silence less than a given length of time are not deleted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat reflective coated structural article comprising a heat reflective component and a coated structural article component which comprises a substrate having an ionic charge coated with a coating having essentially the same ionic charge. The coating of the coated structural article consists essentially of a filler material and a binder material wherein the binder material bonds the filler material together and to the substrate and wherein the coating does not bleed through the substrate. Nonlimiting examples of the heat reflective component include, elastomeric coatings, aluminum fiber coatings, acrylic and polyurethane coating systems, ceramic coatings insulating paints, metal pigment paints, metal pigment pastes and aluminum flakes. The heat reflective coated structural article of the present invention may be incorporated into commercial roofing products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a roofing underlayment system comprising two layers of a coated structural article which comprises a substrate having an ionic charge coated with a coating having essentially the same ionic charge or one layer of such coated structural article in combination with one layer of felt material. The coating of the coated structural article consists essentially of a filler material and a binder material wherein the binder material bonds the filler material together and to the substrate and wherein the coating does not bleed through the substrate. The roofing underlayment system of the present invention can impart a Class B or better (Class A) fire rating to a roof assembly.

Abstract: The apparatus for testing electrical switch matrices includes a potential selector (30) for receiving and applying a voltage (28) to a predetermined input (101-106) of each of the plurality of electrical switches (12), a controller (15) for receiving and applying signals to the plurality of electrical switches (12), and a combiner (36) responsive to an output (22) of each of the plurality of electrical switches (12). The controller (15) selects electrical paths (16) associated with each of the switches (12) which are in communication with the predetermined inputs (101-106) of each of the switches. The output (38) of the combiner (36) indicates whether at least one of the selected electrical paths (16) failed.
