Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating call sentiment associated with a call. The call includes one or more utterances. An utterance includes one or more sentences. A sentence includes one or more words. The disclosed technology iteratively generates sentiment values associated with sentences based on sentiment associated with words in the sentences, sentiment values associated with utterances based on sentence sentiment, and the call sentiment. Determining sentiment includes use of one or more a trained neural network for predicting sentiment and weighted average of sentiment values associated sentences and utterances for aggregating sentiment values. The disclosed technology generates a sentiment momentum that trends sentiment that evolves over time during the call. A speaker sentiment indicates sentiment associated with a speaker who makes utterance during the call.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are computer-implemented devices, systems, and methods for sanitizing an audio recording of a conversation. In an example, such a computer-implemented method can include selecting a transcript of the conversation. The transcript can include a plurality of redaction markers within the audio recording.

Abstract: A retractable landing gear on an aircraft is operated by a landing gear control system 20 having a manually operable lever 26 movable from a first, e.g. gear-down, position to a second, e.g. gear-up position, in response to which a signal (e.g. a gear-up command) is outputted causing the landing gear to move to an up position. The landing gear control system 20 also includes a motor 40 configured to move the lever 26 in dependence on a signal, for example a signal received by a landing gear lever control unit 42 from a take-off detection system 46 which indicates that the aircraft has taken-off. Thus, the lever 26 may be considered as being configured both to be operated by a pilot of the aircraft manually and to be operated by the motor automatically.

Abstract: A single acting actuator for an aircraft landing gear assembly is disclosed having a piston mounted in a cavity and moveable relative to a housing between a retracted position and an extended position, the piston dividing the cavity into first and second pressure chambers. At least one of the pressure chambers is associated with first and second outlets, with the actuator being arranged such that, in respect of the relative movement in which the pressure chamber is the decreasing volume pressure chamber, in a first stage of the relative movement the first and second outlets are open thereby allowing actuator fluid to flow out of the pressure chamber through the first and second outlets and in a second stage of the relative movement the second outlet is open but the first outlet is closed, thereby acting to slow the relative movement of the piston with respect to the housing.
