Abstract: A gas extraction device for metal mineral inclusions and a gas extraction method therefor are provided, the device includes a base plate, an annular carrier, sealing covers, a grinding assembly, a vacuum assembly, a gas-gathering assembly and a mass spectrometer. The annular carrier is disposed on the base plate, multiple grinding chambers are defined and evenly distributed in a circular shape on the annular carrier, the sealing covers are disposed at openings of the grinding chambers, the grinding assembly includes grinding hammers, and the grinding hammers penetrate through the sealing covers and extend into the grinding chambers. Side walls of each grinding chamber defines a first through hole and a second through hole. The vacuum assembly is communicated with the grinding chambers through the first through holes. The gas-gathering assembly is communicated with the grinding chambers through the second through holes. The mass spectrometer is communicated with the gas-gathering assembly.

Abstract: A mistranscription generated by a speech recognition system is identified. A received utterance is matched to a first utterance member within a set of known utterance members. The matching operation matches fewer than the first plural number of words in the received utterance and the received utterance varies in a first particular manner as compared to a first word in a first slot in the first utterance member. The received utterance is sent to a mistranscription analyzer component which increments evidence that the received utterance is evidence of a mistranscription. Once the incremented evidence for the mistranscription exceeds a threshold, future received utterances containing the mistranscription are treated as though the first word was recognized.

Abstract: A mistranscription generated by a speech recognition system is identified. A first class of utterance members is provided for use by the speech recognition system, each utterance class member consisting of a respective number of words. The first class is defined by a first common meaning and a first common system response if a class member of the first class is recognized. If the speech recognition system matches a received utterance to a first class member of the first class, the received utterance is sent to a mistranscription analyzer. The received utterance contains a mistranscription as compared to the first class member. Evidence is incremented by the mistranscription analyzer that the received utterance is evidence of the mistranscription of the first class member. If the incremented evidence for the mistranscription of the first class member exceeds a first threshold, a second class member is added to the first class of utterance members based on the mistranscription of the first class member.

Abstract: A mistranscription generated by a speech recognition system is identified. A set of known utterance members is provided for use by a speech recognition system. Each utterance member consists of a respective plural number of words. A received utterance is matched to a first utterance member within the set of known utterance members. The first utterance member is a closest matching utterance member and has a first plural number of words. The matching operation matches fewer than the first plural number of words in the received utterance and the received utterance varies in a first particular manner as compared to a first word in a first slot in the first utterance member. The received utterance is sent to a mistranscription analyzer component which increments evidence that the received utterance is evidence of a mistranscription.

Abstract: The invention concerns apparatus and methods that determine availability and performance of entities providing services in a distributed system using filtered service-consumer feedback. In particular, apparatus and methods of the invention filter service-consumer feedback in order to reduce the effect of circumstances unique to individual service consumers or to groups of service consumers that do not accurately reflect the actual availability or performance of service-providing entities. In this way an accurate appraisal is gained regarding the performance and availability of a service-providing entity. Reactive methods of the invention can be combined with proactive methods such as, for example, active status probing, to further improve the accuracy of data concerning the status and availability of service-providing entities.
