Patent number: 11961511Abstract: A system and method for detecting and resolving mis-transcriptions in a transcript generated by an automatic speech recognition system when transcribing spoken words. The system and method receive a machine language generated transcript of a speech signal by at least one of a first machine learning system and a second machine learning system, and analyze the machine language generated transcript to find a region of low confidence indicative of a mis-transcription and predict an improvement to the region of low confidence indicative of the mis-transcription. The system and method select a replacement word for the mis-transcription based on the predicted improvement to the region of low confidence and replace the mis-transcription by the replacement word to generate a corrected transcript.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: VAIL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Vijay K. Gurbani, Jordan Hosier, Yu Zhou, Nikhita Sharma, Neil Milstead

Publication number: 20210180042Abstract: A method of binding a nucleic acid and/or a contaminant from a sample includes the step of contacting the nucleic acid and/or the contaminant with a metal-based gel. The metal-based gel is preferably an aluminum-based gel, a cesium-based gel, a lanthanum-based gel, or a combination thereof. The phosphate concentration, phosphate:metal ratio, and/or pH in the sample is modulated during binding to influence the binding capacity and/or preference of the gel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: June 17, 2021Applicant: LuminUltra Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Neil Sharma, Wei Huang

PCR AMPLIFICATION METHODS FOR DETECTING AND QUANTIFYING SULFATE-REDUCING BACTERIA IN OILFIELD FLUIDS
Publication number: 20170218433Abstract: At least one nucleic acid from a sulphate-reducing bacteria may be extracted from an oilfield fluid and may be amplified by a PCR amplification method in the presence of at least one primer to form an amplification product. The primer(s) may be or include a sequence essentially identical to SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:13, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:15, and mixtures thereof. The amplification product may be hybridized with a probe specific for a fragment of an alpha subunit of an APS gene, and a presence of hybridization and a degree of hybridization may be detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2016Publication date: August 3, 2017Applicant: BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATEDInventors: Crystal Lee, Neil Sharma, Angela Reeves -
Patent number: 9654419Abstract: A method for receiving packet data at a communication channel and transmitting the packet data over serial links of the communication channel. The packet data is sliced into n-bit data portions which are concatenated with a header prior to transmitting an n-bit portion across one of the serial links of the communication channel. The header may include an invert bit to alter the majority sign of an n-bit portion. Other aspects of the present invention are also described herein.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Neil Sharma, Matthew Todd Lawson, Mick R. Jacobs

Patent number: 9479277Abstract: A channel synchronization method in which local serializers serially transmits first n-bit codes, respectively, to remote deserializers, respectively. Also local deserializers serially receive first n-bit codes, respectively, from remote serializers, respectively. One of the first n-bit codes transmitted to one of the remote serializers indicates one of the local deserializers is not link aligned.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Neil Sharma, Matthew Todd Lawson, Mick R. Jacobs
