Abstract: Motorized luggage includes a frame enclosed in part by an outer shell, the frame defining an internal storage compartment, a front wheel positioned along the bottom surface of the frame, wherein the front wheel is connected to a first axle that is connected to a steering shaft, wherein the position of the steering shaft controls an orientation of the front wheel, a retractable handlebar received by the steering shaft, first and second rear wheels connected by a second axle, wherein the second axle is operatively coupled to the frame; an electric motor mounted on the frame, wherein the electric motor drives the rear wheels, and a retractable pull handle that engages the first and second rear wheels.

Abstract: In some embodiments, alerts are sent to appropriate parties if an insulated container is not properly packed out to insure the approximate safe temperature of the materials. In other embodiments, a countdown timer is used to keep track of the time that the biologic has been in transit, and ensure that the amount of time does not exceed the known shelf life of the biologic. In still other embodiments, the payload container is equipped with its own sensors, such as temperature sensors, and communications devices, such as a close range communication device, capable of transmitting information regarding a range of parameters, including, but not limited to, temperature, humidity, location and time, from the payload container to an end user. In other embodiments, shielding and/or radiation sensors are included in insulated shipping or storage containers, or payload containers, to shield and monitor the radiation exposure of the payload.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a translation system may use a translation bug prediction model to more efficiently identify translation errors in a user interface text string. The translation system may apply a translation bug prediction model to a translation resource to identify a potential error source. The translation system may associate an attention flag with the translation resource when identified as the potential error source. The translation system may execute an automatic translation of the translation resource to create a translation target.

Abstract: A smoke eliminator device is provided. The smoke eliminator device is especially suitable for removing smoke from a room or building so as to allow a firefighter to more easily rescue individuals and extinguish fires. The device is a lightweight elongated tube which connects to a standard fire hose. Water emitted from the distal end of the device creates a suction which pulls smoke out of the room or building. A glass-breaking device is located near a distal end of the device to allow the device to easily penetrate a window wherein it may be effective. A cooling nozzle allows for the extinguishing of fire by water spray. An extension may be added to the device to allow the device to be utilized in the upper floor of a building. The device may further have a bend which allows a user to utilize the device directly below a window of an upper floor.

Abstract: Motorized luggage includes a frame enclosed in part by an outer shell, the frame defining an internal storage compartment, front wheels connected to a steering shaft, wherein the steering shaft is rotatably connected to the frame and the position of the steering shaft controls an orientation of the front wheels, a retractable handlebar received by the steering shaft, wherein the retractable handlebar may be telescopingly moved from a stored configuration to a driving configuration, wherein in the stored configuration the handlebar is retracted and enclosed by a second zippered flap of the outer shell, wherein in the driving configuration, the handlebar is extended above a top face of the frame, a rear set of wheels connected by a second axle, wherein the second axle is operatively coupled to the frame, and an electric motor mounted on the frame, wherein the electric motor drives the rear wheels.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a translator quality assurance system may rate a translation using a mapping chart. A data interface 150 may access a translation dictionary matching a source language to a target language. A processor 120 may map automatically a sentence pair having a source sentence 310 in a source language and a target sentence 320 in a target language at a linguistic level using the translation dictionary. A user output device 170 may display a translation quality report of the target sentence 320.
