Patent number: 11732518Abstract: A refrigerator door assembly includes a refrigerator door that has a recess and an alignment mechanism that includes a door hinge. A plate is fixedly attached to the door hinge and positioned at least partially within the recess of the refrigerator door. The plate includes an orienting member configured to extend along an axis of rotation of the door hinge and away from a body of the plate. The refrigerator door is movably positionable between at least a first position and a second position relative to the plate to permit adjustment of a location of the refrigerator door relative to the door hinge. The recess includes a track that slides against the plate in a linear path between the first and second positions of the refrigerator door.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: WHIRLPOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Alexandre C. Azevedo, Dakota E. Kosek, Juan Pablo Ramirez Carrillo, Chad J. Rotter, Antonio Sanchez

Patent number: 8655656Abstract: A method for assessing intelligibility of speech represented by a speech signal includes providing a speech signal and performing a feature extraction on at least one frame of the speech signal so as to obtain a feature vector for each of the at least one frame of the speech signal. The feature vector is input to a statistical machine learning model so as to obtain an estimated posterior probability of phonemes in the at least one frame as an output including a vector of phoneme posterior probabilities of different phonemes for each of the at least one frame of the speech signal. An entropy estimation is performed on the vector of phoneme posterior probabilities of the at least one frame of the speech signal so as to evaluate intelligibility of the at least one frame of the speech signal. An intelligibility measure is output for the at least one frame of the speech signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Deutsche Telekom AGInventors: Hamed Ketabdar, Juan-Pablo Ramirez
