Abstract: A method is performed at a computer for automatically correcting typographical errors. The computer selects a target word in a target sentence and identifies a target word therein as having a typographical error and first and second sequences of words separated by the target word as context. After identifying, among a database of grammatically correct sentences, a set of sentences having the first and second sequences of words, each sentence including a replacement word, the computer selects a set of candidate grammatically correct sentences whose corresponding replacement words have similarities to the target word above a pre-set threshold, Finally, the computer chooses, among the set of candidate grammatically correct sentences, a fittest grammatically correct sentence according to a linguistic model and replaces the target word in the target sentence with the replacement word within the fittest grammatically correct sentence.

Abstract: There is provided a diagnosing device for an on-load tap changing apparatus of a transformer, which can diagnose the degradation degree of insulating oil at high accuracy by a relatively simple device configuration. A diagnosing device for an on-load tap changing apparatus has an insulating oil tank in which insulating oil is sealed, a changeover switching device that is disposed within the insulating oil tank and performs the tap changing operation of a tap winding, a tap selector that selects the tap position of the tap winding, and a polarity (transposition) changer that inverts the polarity of the tap winding or a winding connected to the tap winding. The diagnosing device includes an arc discharge light detector that detects arc discharge light that is emitted at changing the tap position of the tap selector. The degradation degree of the insulating oil is diagnosed based on the arc discharge light detected by the arc discharge light detector.

Abstract: A method of creating and sharing a streaming video to other devices by an electronic device, which comprises a first camera and a second camera, is disclosed. A voice signal collected by the electronic device is encoded into digital audio data. The first camera captures first still images and the second camera captures second still images simultaneously. The first still images and/or the second still images are cropped and combined to generate combined images. The combined images are encoded into encoded images with a predetermined format. A streaming video is obtained by mixing the encoded images with the digital audio data and transmitted to other remote devices.

Abstract: A vehicular glove box bin has a molded substrate of a first durometer plastic material defining a concave body with bin sides, bottom, and open mouth. The sides include a front wall arranged to receive an impact load in a substantially normal direction, and at least one perforated wall substantially aligned with the normal direction which has at least one stiffness reducing gap. A substitution panel comprising a resilient material having a second durometer less than the first durometer is molded into and closes the gap. The gap and the substitution panel define locking surfaces for retaining the substitution panel. The combined first and second durometers provide a predetermined collapse in response to the impact load. The placement and sizes of gaps together with the selected durometers allow a designer to tailor the stiffness around various portions of the bin to match a desired impact performance.
