  • Publication number: 20170098337
    Abstract: A technique for controlling access to one or more attractions is achieved using a number of access keys, each being issued to one or more users. An electronic queue management part manages a virtual queue in respect of each attraction and receives electronic requests for attraction access, each request relating to an access key and being for the users associated with it to access a particular attraction. Receipt of each request causes the respective users to be added to a corresponding virtual queue. A time at which each group of users reaches the front of the virtual queue and can access the attraction is determined. The users access the attractions by presenting an access key to an access control part, in communication with the electronic queue management part. Only a user presenting an access key at the correct time for accessing the attraction is allowed access to the attraction.

  • Patent number: 9554680
    Abstract: A cleaner head comprising a main body rotatably coupled to a neck, and a locking arrangement operable to permit rotation of the main body relative to the neck when the cleaner head is positioned on a surface and to prevent rotation of the body relative to the next when the cleaner head is lifted off a surface. The locking arrangement therefore stops the cleaner head from rotating undesirably when the cleaner head is lifted away from a cleaning surface.

  • Patent number: 9558740
    Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) processing including a feedback configuration to allow for improved disambiguation between ASR hypotheses. After ASR processing of an incoming utterance where the ASR outputs an N-best list including multiple hypotheses, the multiple hypotheses are passed downstream for further processing. The downstream further processing may include natural language understanding (NLU) or other processing to determine a command result for each hypothesis. The command results are compared to determine if any hypotheses of the N-best list would yield similar command results. If so, the hypothesis(es) with similar results are removed from the N-best list so that only one hypothesis of the similar results remains in the N-best list. The remaining non-similar hypotheses are sent for disambiguation, or, if only one hypothesis remains, it is sent for execution.

  • Patent number: 9547635
    Abstract: A collaborative authoring application provides an authoring environment in which two or more users can edit a document concurrently. Each user edits a copy of the document, sends updates to a master copy of the document, and receives updates from the master copy of the document. The authoring environment generally inhibits the users from providing conflicting editing instructions to the master copy of the document. For example, each user can generate a content lock about one or more data units within the document. The authoring environment may synchronize content locks automatically and content only at the request of the user.

  • Publication number: 20160288137
    Abstract: A magnetic density separator includes a process channel, a magnetization device, a laminator, and a feed including an entraining device. The process channel may permit magnetic process liquid and particles to be separated to flow through in a flow direction. The magnetization device may be arranged to extend in flow direction along at least one of the walls of the channel and to apply a magnetic field to the process liquid in a separation zone of the channel to establish a cut density of the magnetic process liquid to separate the particles in the process liquid based on their density. The laminator may be configured to introduce magnetic process liquid into the channel to flow laminarized in flow direction along the separation zone. The feed may introduce a mixture of process liquid and particles to be separated into the process channel to join the laminarized process liquid.
