  • Patent number: 11880723
    Abstract: A test application programming interface (API) request may be issued to a test service implementation. A test API response, which is responsive to the test API request, may be received from the test service implementation. First contents of the test API response may be compared to second contents of a control API response. The comparing may be performed based at least in part on a set of one or more expected differences associated with the test API response and the control API response. It may be determined, based on the comparing, whether an unexpected difference exists between the test API response and the control API response. An indication may be provided of whether the unexpected difference exists between the test API response and the control API response, and the unexpected difference may be automatically corrected, such as via one or more configuration changes.

  • Patent number: 11881322
    Abstract: This patent document relates to systems, structures, devices, and fabrication processes for ceramic matrix composites suitable for use in a nuclear reactor environment and other applications requiring materials that can withstand high temperatures and/or highly corrosive environments. In one exemplary aspect, a method of joining and sealing ceramic structures is disclosed. The method comprises forming a joint of a ceramic structure and an end plug using a sealing material, wherein the end plug has a hole that goes through a top surface and a bottom surface of the end plug; filling the ceramic structure with a desired gas composition through the hole; heating a material into a molten form using a heat source; and directing the material into the hole, wherein the material solidifies to seal the end plug.

  • Patent number: 5867052
    Abstract: A level shifting driver shifts a low magnitude logic signal to a high magnitude logic signal while preventing a high supply voltage as associated with the high magnitude logic signal from feeding back into logic devices associated with providing the low magnitude logic signal. An input terminal receives the low magnitude logic signal from a given low voltage logic device. An N-channel MOSFET has its channel disposed serially between the input terminal and an output terminal and its gate coupled to a low supply voltage of the low voltage logic device. A latch network biased by the high supply voltage has one node of its latch coupled to the output terminal for providing an output signal representative of the low magnitude logic signal but of a high magnitude established in accordance with the high supply voltage.

  • Patent number: 5857173
    Abstract: Upon selection of an expression for pronunciation training, a look-up operation is performed in a speaker database (15) to obtain a predetermined model for comparison with a voice of a user received at an input (11). A speech modeling element models speech of a native speaker. The voice input is applied to the modeling element (102-107) and an analysis is carried out of the comparison, in correlation and in duration, between a phoneme or sub-word of the input and a phoneme or sub-word of the native speaker to provide a score, including a score for the correlation and a score for the duration. The score is analyzed with respect to a score for a predetermined speaker in an analysis element (40). An indicator device (16) coupled to the output of the analysis element indicates the result in a graphical illustration. A tracking tool indicates state of progress of the voice of the speaker.
