Abstract: The invention provides a communication system and method including a processor; a computer-readable medium connected to the processor, and a set of instructions on the computer-readable medium. A speech reception unit is executable by the processor to receive input speech in the form of an input signal derived from a sound wave generated by a microphone that includes input language. A speech processing system connected to the speech reception unit is executable by the processor to modify the input signal to an output signal wherein the input speech in the input signal is modified to output speech in the output signal. A speech output unit connected to the speech processing system is executable by the processor to provide an output of the output signal.

Abstract: A ventilation system for a housing structure with a plurality of air vents including: vent control modules configured to control and actuate opening and closing of at least one air vent of the plurality of air vents; an electro-mechanical drive unit mechanically coupled to each of the plurality of vent control modules and providing mechanical power thereto, the drive unit including a motor and a drive shaft, the drive shaft being disposed parallel to the axis of the air vents; a control unit, in communication with the drive unit and the plurality of vent control modules, configured to control the drive unit and individually control each of the vent control modules; the vent control modules use the mechanical power of the drive unit to individually effect the opening and closing of each respective vent of the plurality of air vents.

Abstract: Systems, and method and computer readable media that store instructions for thermal screening.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards methods and systems for performance monitoring for mobile applications. In an embodiment, a method of monitoring performance of a mobile application is provided. A mobile application is operated on a wireless mobile device. A progress indicator being displayed on a display screen of the mobile device during operation of the mobile application on the wireless mobile device is automatically detected. Data indicative of a time duration of the progress indicator is obtained. The data indicative of the time duration is communicated to a centralized server.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of and systems for simulating performance of a mobile application. A mobile application is installed on a plurality of wireless mobile devices, the plurality of mobile devices including disparate mobile device configurations and wireless network connection types. Operational data resulting from operating the mobile application on the plurality of mobile devices is collected, the operational data representing performance of the mobile application for each of a plurality of combinations of mobile device configuration and wireless network connection type. Statistical performance parameters are determined from the operational data. Performance of the mobile application is simulated using the determined statistical performance parameters for a selected combination of mobile device configuration and wireless network connection type.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of and systems for predicting performance of a mobile application. A first mobile application is installed on a first plurality of wireless mobile devices. Operational data resulting from operating the first mobile application on the first plurality of mobile devices is collected. A second mobile application is installed on a second plurality of mobile devices. Test data resulting from operating the second the mobile application on the second plurality of mobile devices is collected. The performance of the second mobile application is predicted using the operational data and the test data for combinations of mobile device configuration and wireless network connection type not represented by the second plurality of mobile devices.

Abstract: The present invention creates an electronic marketplace where owners of Internet domain names can have multiple parties compete for the right to lease their domain names. A marketplace provider supplies a technology for redirecting Internet traffic from leased domain names to domain names specified by parties that win the right to lease domain names.

Abstract: An electronic marketplace allows owners of unused Internet domain names to lease the domain names using a bidding process. The system allows owners to monetize domain names and lessees to obtain customers who are redirected from targeted domain names.
