  • Publication number: 20180143975
    Abstract: A method of translating a document includes converting the document into a plurality of distinct cognizable translation units (CTUs), linking the plurality of CTUs to facilitate reassembly of the document, storing the plurality of CTUs in a document-specific data storage structure, collecting the plurality of CTUs into at least one collection strategy group for translation independent of the data storage structure and translating the at least one group of CTUs using a combination of at least two of machine, human, and machine aided human translation techniques that are set to satisfy translation platform operation criteria separately for each group.

  • Publication number: 20060236459
    Abstract: A pillow with ellipsoidal surface configurations between each of a length and a width of a rectangularly shaped peripheral boundary. An elastic frame provides an internal cavity between sidewalls joined by protruding arcuate corners for receiving an elastically displaced overlying internal mass. This mass is bounded by elongated internal hinged segments terminating at spaced apart parting lines extending in the direction of the length and width of the rectangular pillow boundary.
