Abstract: An improved system and method for providing context information of executable code to an input method is provided. Advanced text input methods may be made aware of the type of text expected to be received as input so that input methods may achieve a higher accuracy in recognition of text input. Generic interfaces provide a framework for supporting application authoring platforms to allow application developers to easily specify context information to the system and have it reliably forwarded to the correct input methods. Additionally, a context tagging tool may associate specific text input fields of an existing application with an input scope without modifying the application itself. The context tagging tool may create a manifest that contains tags associating the specific text input fields with an input scope. Any advanced input methods use by the application may be updated with instructions for accessing the context information stored in the manifest.

Abstract: This application is directed to compounds of the formula wherein j is 1; k is 0 or 1; m is 1, 2 or 3; n is 1 or 2; W1 and W2 are independently —O— or —S(?O)t—, where t is 0, 1, or 2; Y is ?C(R1a)—, where R1a is a member selected from the group consisting of H; F; Cl; CN; NO2; —(C1-C4)alkyl; —(C2-C4)alkynyl; fluorinated-(C1-C3)alkyl; fluorinated-(C1-C3)alkoxy; —OR16; and —C(?O)NR22aR22b; R22a and R22b are defined as set forth in the specification; —RA and RB are each a member independently selected from the group consisting of H; F; CF3; —(C1-C4)alkyl; —(C3-C7)cycloalkyl; phenyl; and benzyl; wherein said cycloalkyl, phenyl, and benzyl moieties are each independently substituted with 0 to 3 substituents R10, which is defined as set forth in the specification; R16 and R17 are defined as set forth in the specification; —RC and RD have the same meaning as defined above for RA and RB except that one of them must be —H, and they are selected independently of each other and of RA and RB; R1 and R2 are each a mem

Abstract: A web-enabled automation control module (ACM) system includes at least one network module configured to receive a request for a file from the network, a web server and database module located outside the network module and including a database configured to store the file, and an ACM central processing unit (CPU) configured to send ACM data to the web server and database module to embed ACM data in the file.

Abstract: A web-enabled automation control module (ACM) includes an ACM central processing unit (CPU) and a web and file transfer system electrically connected to the ACM CPU, and embedded within the ACM. The system is configured to process hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) requests from a network.

Abstract: An e-mail-enabled automation control module (ACM) includes an ACM and an e-mail subsystem electrically connected to the ACM. The e-mail subsystem is configured to perform at least one of sending e-mail messages from the ACM through a network and receiving e-mail messages from the network.

Abstract: A system and method for use in computing systems that employ speech recognition capabilities. Where recognized speech can be dictation and commands, one or more buttons may be used to change modes of said computing systems to accept spoken words as dictation, or to accept spoken words as commands, as well as activate a microphone used for the speech recognition. The change in mode may occur responsive to the manner in which a button is pressed, where the manner may include such depressions as taps, press and holds, thumbwheel slides, and other forms of button manipulation.

Abstract: A rack for securing cargo to a vehicle including first and second base rails attached to the vehicle; first and second collapsible post having first and second hinge ends and first and second slide ends, wherein the first and second hinge ends are rotatably attached to the first base rail by first and second hinge joints, respectively; a first support rail slidably connected to the first and second slide ends of the first and second collapsible posts by first and second slide joints, respectively, whereby rotation of the first and second collapsible posts about the first and second hinge joints moves the first support rail between support and collapse positions; third and fourth collapsible post having third and fourth hinge ends and third and fourth slide ends, wherein the third and fourth hinge ends are rotatably attached to the second base rail by third and fourth hinge joints, respectively; a second support rail slidably connected to the third and fourth slide ends of the third and fourth collapsible post

Abstract: The present invention provides an application-independent and engine-independent middleware layer between applications and engines. The middleware provides speech-related services to both applications and engines, thereby making it far easier for application vendors and engine vendors to bring their technology to consumers.

Abstract: The wear on components in a dialysis machine is analyzed for the purpose of making repair and maintenance decisions. The actual performance of components is used to establish a test value. The test value is compared to a threshold value which represents the limits of normal performance of the component. Each instance where the test value exceeds the threshold value is counted and a maintenance count value is developed. The maintenance count value represents the number of abnormal performance events, and the maintenance count value is used to make maintenance and repair decisions. The test value developed for each component varies according to the type of component. The maintenance count values may be displayed for use by service personnel.

Abstract: An elastomeric o-ring rock bit seal is disclosed with two or more integrally bonded elastomers or phenolic type materials joined together to form the seal. The dynamic sealing face adjacent the journal bearing is fabricated from an elastomer/phenolic engineered specifically for wear resistance. The bulk of the seal adjacent the static seal retention cavity typically formed in the rotary cone is molded from an elastomer engineered specifically for precise control of the seal contact force adjacent the dynamic seal face when the seal is compressed against the dynamic face by the seal retention cavity in the cone.
