Patent number: 8428944Abstract: A speech recognition system prompts a user to provide a first utterance, which is recorded. Speech recognition is performed on the first user utterance to yield a recognition result. The user is prompted to provide a second user utterance, which is recorded, processed and compared to the first utterance to detect a plurality of acoustic differences for each acoustic parameter. The acoustic model used by the speech recognition engine is modified as a function of the acoustic difference.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2007Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Timothy David Poultney, Matthew Whitbourne, Kamourudeen Larry Yusuf

Patent number: 8311862Abstract: A method for facilitating in assessing transitional costs in business transformations using a computer-aided organizational design system is provided. The method comprises creating a first organization design model representative of the current organizational design state of an organization using a graphical tool. The method further comprises changing the first organization design model into a second organization design model representative of the organizational design state of the organization after the business transformation. The method further comprises generating a report identifying the transition cost factors and the transition cost of moving from the first organization design model to the second organization design model, wherein the transition cost is determined based on predetermined calculation algorithms or heuristics.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2007Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jinchao Hunag, John W. Sweitzer, Yi-Hsiu Wei, Kamorudeen Larry Yusuf

Patent number: 8230393Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide a method, system and computer program product for automatically capturing metadata using a template model. The template model is assembled for automatically capturing metadata during one or more stages of the life cycle of an application. Included in the template model are a description and a source of the metadata during a particular stage of the application lifecycle. The template model further includes multiple fields for dynamically capturing metadata. The template model fields may include: a stage field, an item field, a type field, specific source field, indicative field, a source list field, an analyzer reference field, default value field, and default reason field. A unique label associated with the stage field, of the template model, is read to identify the current stage of the lifecycle. The metadata associated with the current stage is automatically captured, then communicated to the application.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Colin L. Bird, Kamorudeen Larry Yusuf

Patent number: 7949997Abstract: A method and apparatus for integrating a software application into an information technology (IT) infrastructure. An inventory is created using a Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) approach from the Object Management Group (OMG). The inventory includes information about: each component of the IT infrastructure, the software application, how each component communicates with each other component, and how the software application communicates with each component. Each element of information in the inventory has a single source and owner. The inventory is used to analyze the IT infrastructure and the software application during integrating the software application. From contents of the inventory, using the MDA approach from the OMG, artifacts that execute the integration are generated, and test programs are generated to verify that the integration is complete and correct.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2006Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Amanda E. Chessell, Giles J. B. Dring, Richard A. Hopkins, Robert J. Lojek, Christopher C. Winter, Larry Yusuf

Patent number: 7533153Abstract: A computer implemented method for managing IM presence based on task context, comprising storing group affiliations for a requesting IM user and a target IM user. A request from the requesting IM user is received for the target IM user's status. The requesting IM user's group affiliation is determined. The target IM user's status relationship associated with the requesting IM user's group affiliation is determined. The status relationship for the target IM user is returned to the requesting IM user. Communication from the requesting IM user is forwarded to a predefined reroute destination if the target IM user has defined the reroute destination for communication originating from the requesting IM user's group affiliation.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2008Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Douglas Andrew Wood, Kamorudeen Larry Yusuf
