Abstract: An acoustic matching structure is used to increase the power radiated from a transducing element with a higher impedance into a surrounding acoustic medium with a lower acoustic impedance. The acoustic matching structure consists of a thin, substantially planar cavity bounded by a two end walls and a side wall. The end walls of the cavity are formed by a blocking plate wall and a transducing element wall separated by a short distance (less than one quarter of the wavelength of acoustic waves in the surrounding medium at the operating frequency). The end walls and side wall bound a cavity with diameter approximately equal to half of the wavelength of acoustic waves in the surrounding medium. In operation, a transducing element generates acoustic oscillations in the fluid in the cavity.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides a system and method for processing and identifying data in form. The system and method may distinguish between content data and background data in a form. In some aspects, the content data or background data may be removed, wherein the remaining data may be processed separately. Removal of the background data or the content data may allow for more effective or efficient character recognition of the data. In some embodiments, data may be processed on an element basis, wherein each element of the form may be labeled as background data, content data, noise, or combinations thereof. This system and method may significantly increase the ability to capture and extract relevant information from a form.

Abstract: A compressor of the present invention has a blocking portion for preventing a refrigerant containing an inflammable component such as lubricating oil ejected from an ejection port of a safety relief valve from being ejected to a specific direction where a drive belt, an electromagnetic clutch, an exhaust manifold, and placed. The blocking portion is not separately attached but is integrally formed with a housing member by using the same material as that thereof, and is disposed on a line in an ejection direction of the ejection port. The present invention can provide a compressor excellent in productivity, durability, and safety without increasing the number of manufacturing processes or causing, for example, rotation failure of the drive belt and a pulley for driving the compressor and its auxiliaries and an occurrence of white smoke due to a contact between the exhaust manifold at high temperatures and the refrigerant.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides generally for a system and method for generating and processing training data, such as when access to training data for a form may be insufficient to effectively train an artificial entity to process the associated form. According to the present disclosure, a computer system may identify and distinguish between content data and background data from a small set of data, such as a handful of authentic forms. The computer system may remove unwanted text, noise, or other portions of an image to create an empty, blank, or scrubbed form with no data. The system may generate training examples or synthetic data from this form, which may be incorporated into training data. In some embodiments, the synthetic data may be generated into a form. The computer system may synthetically generate variations in the original form to simulate variations that may exist with expected incoming data.
