Abstract: A computer-implemented method for leveraging computer aided input segmentations is provided. The computer aided input segmentations identify divisions in a source text. The division are utilized to translate the source text from a first language to a second language. In this regard, segmentation boundaries are designated within the source text based on the computer aided input segmentations, which determine the divisions. Each division is automatically translated into the second language to generate translated segments corresponding to the division. These translated segments are combined to generate a translated text.

Abstract: A duodenoscope protected with disposable consumables comprises a body having an insertion portion covered with a cuff, and a disposable forceps passage tube inserted into a tube of the body. A distal end portion of the body is covered with an end cap, which is integrally connected to the cuff and to the disposable forceps passage tube. The end cap is made of transparent elastic material with an elongated opening, compatible in shape to an opening of the distal end portion of the duodenoscope body, and further comprises a soft connection port in a shape of a pipe with a small-orifice end secured onto the disposable forceps passage tube, and a large orifice end secured onto an edge of the elongated opening. A forceps-lifting unit is disposed at the distal end portion of the duodenoscope body, and comprises a grooved pulley coupled with a steel wire for maneuverability.

Abstract: A method and a system of setting up a reference signal in a radio communication system are disclosed. The radio communication system includes a serving cell and a neighboring cell, and a mobile terminal of the serving cell uses the same temporal frequency resource to receive a serving resource block from the serving cell and an interference resource block from the neighboring cell. The method includes setting up a user-specific reference signal in the interference resource block and puncturing at the same temporal frequency position as the temporal frequency position at which the user-specific reference signal is set up on the interference resource block of the serving resource block to prevent any signal from being transmitted at the punctured temporal frequency position. When the method and the system are used and the interference power between cells is measured, it is possible to effectively reduce feedback overhead in a coordinated beamforming.

Abstract: An electronic device manufacturing system includes a mass flow controller (MFC) that has a thermal flow sensor. The thermal flow sensor may measure a mass flow rate and may include a sensor tube having an inner surface coated with a material to form an inner barrier layer. The inner barrier layer may prevent or substantially reduce the likelihood of a corrosive reaction from occurring on the inner surface, which may prevent or reduce the likelihood of the MFC drifting beyond the MFC's mass flow rate accuracy specifications. This may improve the repeatability of flow detection by the MFC. Methods of measuring and controlling a mass flow rate in an electronic device manufacturing system are also provided, as are other aspects.
