Abstract: A text search query including one or more words may be received. An ASR index created for an audio recording may be searched over using the query to produce ASR search results including words, each word associated with a confidence score. For each of the words in the ASR search results associated with a confidence score below a threshold (and in some cases having one or more preceding words in the ASR index and one or more subsequent words in the ASR index), a phonetic representation of the audio recording may be searched for the word having the confidence score below the threshold, where it occurs in the audio recording, possibly after the one or more preceding words and in the audio recording before the one or more subsequent words, to produce phonetic search results. Search results may be returned include ASR and phonetic results.

Abstract: A rotary pump comprising a housing (1) defining an annular chamber with inlet and outlet ports (12;11) spaced apart around the chamber, a flexible annular diaphragm (3) forming one side of the chamber spaced opposite an annular wall of the housing (1), the diaphragm (3) being sealed at its edges to the housing (1), a partition (13) extending across the chamber from a location between the inlet and outlet ports (12;11) to the diaphragm (3). The diaphragm (3) is configured to be pressed progressively against the opposite wall of the housing (1) to force fluid drawn in at the inlet port (12) on one side of the partition (13) around the chamber and to expel it at the outlet port (11) at the other side of the partition (13). The outer face of the annular diaphragm (3) has a trough (40) at the part of the diaphragm (3) which faces the inlet port (12) and/or at the part of the diaphragm 3 which faces the outlet port (11).

Abstract: Angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL)3/8 fusion proteins are disclosed. Nucleic acid constructs encoding ANGPTL3/8 fusion proteins also are disclosed. Methods of making and using the same also are disclosed, especially for generating antibodies against ANGPTL3 and/or ANGPTL8.

Abstract: Components and systems are disclosed for implementing downhole splice connections such as within a wellbore. In some embodiments, a downhole splice connector includes at least one connector body having an inner diameter defining a cavity within which at least one connector receptacle is disposed, and at least one conductive center pin disposed within the at least one connector receptacle. The downhole splice connector further includes at least one pressure sleeve annularly disposed between an inner diameter of the connector body and an outer diameter of the center pin, such that a pressure barrier is formed between an outer diameter of the pressure sleeve and an inner diameter of the connector body and a pressure barrier is formed between an inner diameter of the pressure sleeve and an outer diameter of the center pin.

Abstract: A social networking system generates a newsfeed for a user to view when accessing the social networking system. Candidate stories associated with users of the social networking system are selected and an expected value score for each candidate story is determined. An expected value score is based on the probability of a user performing various types of interactions with a candidate story and a numerical value for each type of interaction. The numerical value for a type of interaction represents a value to the social networking system of the type of interaction. Based on the expected value scores, the candidate stories are ranked and the ranking used to select candidate stories for the newsfeed.

Abstract: Systems are provided for compressing portfolios of open option positions. Market participants may provide constraints, such as net delta and gamma values within a specific tolerance. A compression engine uses a linear, integer and/or linear-quadratic programming solver to analyze portfolios of multiple market participants and identify multilateral option spread trades that result in portfolios that are compressed subject to the constraints.

Abstract: A fluorescence histo-tomography (FHT) method may include capturing, using an imaging device positioned with respect to a chamber of a slicing apparatus, images of a block face of a specimen retained within the chamber. The images may be captured in the visible and infrared or near-infrared spectrum. The method may include co-registering the images to form a combined image, and providing the combined image to an electronic display. In some implementations, the method may include positioning the imaging device away from the chamber, operating the slicing apparatus to expose a second block face of the specimen, and repositioning the imaging device with respect to the chamber.

Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a secure computing resource set identification, evaluation, and management arrangement, employing in various embodiments some or all of the following highly reliable identity related means to establish, register, publish and securely employ user computing arrangement resources in satisfaction of user set target contextual purposes.

Abstract: Location mapping and navigation user interfaces may be generated and presented via mobile computing devices. A mobile device may detect its location and orientation using internal systems, and may capture image data using a device camera. The mobile device also may retrieve map information from a map server corresponding to the current location of the device. Using the image data captured at the device, the current location data, and the corresponding local map information, the mobile device may determine or update a current orientation reading for the device. Location errors and updated location data also may be determined for the device, and a map user interface may be generated and displayed on the mobile device using the updated device orientation and/or location data.

The first port may be a direct interconnect port connected to a direct interconnect network. The second port may be a traditional network port connected to switches and devices in the traditional network. The computation devices may be internally connected to the first and second ports. The host interface card may be connected to a host device via a communication bus. The host interface card may be capable of switching network traffic between the traditional and direct interconnect networks without intervention by the host device.
