  • Publication number: 20230135244
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, system and computer program product are provided that implement a neural network (NN) audio filter. The method, system and computer program product obtain an electronic audio signal comprising a speech impaired message and apply the audio signal to the NN audio filter to modify the speech impaired message. The apply operation converts the audio signal into characters; and identifies and removes at least one of a repetitive pattern or duplicate word in the characters to form the unimpaired message. The unimpaired message is output.

  • Patent number: 11467934
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device and in a pre-operating system (OS) environment, an indication to run a diagnostic application; conducting, using the diagnostic application, a diagnostic scan on one or more of the information handling device components; and generating, based on the diagnostic scan, a results report. Other aspects are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11409419
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for sound-directed graphic accessibility. An apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to present a graphic on a touch-enabled display of a device. The graphic may be formatted as a binary graphic with lines defining edges of objects within the graphic. The code is executable by the processor to detect a touch on the touch-enabled display. The code is executable by the processor to, in response to determining that the touch is at a location on the display that corresponds to a line of the graphic, provide at least one sound to direct the touch to follow the line of the graphic.

  • Publication number: 20180089045
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, device and computer program device are provided that is under control of one or more processors that are configured with specific executable program instructions. The method identifies a candidate hardware (HW) module to be tested for a potential failure. The candidate HW module is connected through an intermediate HW module with a test management module. The test management module manages diagnostic testing for the potential failure. The method obtains first and second diagnostic tests. The first diagnostic test is associated with the intermediate HW module and the second diagnostic test is associated with the candidate HW module. The method applies the first diagnostic test to the intermediate HW module to verify operation of the intermediate HW module and applies the second diagnostic test to the candidate HW module based on verified operation of the intermediate HW module.

  • Patent number: 9691503
    Abstract: An apparatus for allocating computer memory for memory diagnostics is disclosed. The apparatus may include a processor and memory that stores code executable by the processor, and may include code that identifies an unreserved amount of memory in a computer system, code that requests a portion of the memory based on the unreserved amount of memory, and code that determines whether an allocated portion of the memory comprises non-contiguous memory addresses. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes code that locks the allocated portion of the memory in response to the allocated portion consisting solely of contiguous memory addresses, and code that performs a memory diagnostic test on the allocated portion of the memory.
