Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each phrase word of a phrase to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a phrase word of the phrase. The method further includes obtaining inflection information for one or more phrase words of the phrase. The method further includes selecting an identigen of a first set of identigens based on the inflection information to produce a first identigen selection for the first set of identigens having a selected meaning of one or more different meanings of the first phrase word. The method further includes interpreting remaining sets of identigens of the sets of identigens to produce an entigen group so that the entigen group represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the phrase.

Abstract: An insulating device can include a body assembly and a lid assembly where an insulating layer is connected to both the body assembly and the lid assembly.

Abstract: A diverter assembly for a dishwasher appliance includes a housing and a cam sleeve with a plurality of passages. The cam sleeve defines a first portion of a plurality of cam teeth. The diverter assembly also includes a diverter plate rotatably mounted within the housing, and the diverter plate includes a plurality of passages and a plurality of guide teeth. Additionally, the diverter assembly includes a cam post coupled to the housing at the cam sleeve. The cam post defines a second portion of the plurality of cam teeth such that the cam sleeve and the cam post collectively form the plurality of cam teeth. The plurality of cam teeth mesh with the plurality of guide teeth at the central passage of the housing such that the diverter plate rotates relative to the housing when the diverter plate vertically translates within the housing.

Abstract: The Automatic Extending Device is an internally powered controlled automatic extension and retraction device of lengths of twelve meters or more in extended length that can support up to one hundred eighty one kilograms or more positioned on the far end away from the operator. The device is comprised of: a plurality of telescoping nested sliding extensible pole segments attached to an internally powered pole extension and retraction device comprised of a one way bearing with friction clutch; a tapered push/pull strip; a high friction drive wheel; a push/pull strip friction pinch wheel assembly; a strip guide to maintain push/pull strip location/position; and a push/pull strip spool which contains the push/pull strip when not extended into the pole. The device of the present invention does not conduct electricity, so it is safe for use in, around, and with powered lines, devices, or fixtures.

Abstract: A dishwasher appliance having a camera assembly. The dishwasher appliance is configured for obtaining an image of the door, determining the position of the door relative to a tub of the appliance; and using the position of the door in one or more dishwashing operations.

Abstract: A container device that has an outer shell with an opening that is sealed by a closure mechanism. The closure mechanism can include magnetic strips that are configured to partially or wholly seal the opening.

Abstract: A container device with an outer shell that has an opening that is sealed by a closure mechanism. The closure mechanism may include resealable closure elements that are configured to partially or wholly seal the opening. In some examples, the closure elements may be magnetic strips. In addition, the closure mechanism may include curved members to prevent the opening from closing when the closure mechanism is in an open configuration.

Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each query word of a query to produce a plurality of sets of identigens. The method further includes interpreting, based on identigen pairing rules of a knowledge database, pairs of sequentially adjacent identigens of adj acent sets of identigens of the plurality of sets of identigens to determine a most likely meaning interpretation of the query and produce a query entigen group. The method further includes identifying a set of entigen variations associated with the query entigen group utilizing the knowledge database to produce an expanded query entigen group. The method further includes obtaining knowledge associated with the first entigen variation of the set of entigen variations.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes first and second bus terminals, a pass-gate transistor, first and rising time accelerator (RTA) control circuits, and first and second falling time accelerator (FTA) control circuits. The pass-gate transistor couples between the first and second bus terminals. The first RTA control circuit couples to the first bus terminal, detects a rising edge on the first bus terminal, and accelerates the rising edge on the first bus terminal. The first FTA control circuit couples to the first bus terminal, detects a falling edge on the first bus terminal having a slope below a threshold, and accelerates the falling edge on the first bus terminal. The second RTA and FTA control circuits function similar to the first RTA and FTA control circuits but with respect to the second bus terminal.
