Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing call monitoring, and, in particular embodiments, to methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer software for implementing self-learning corrections facility call monitoring. In some embodiments, a method might comprise an automated call monitor monitoring a voice or video call between a call participant and a prison inmate, and analyzing at least one of conversation content of the call, voice characteristics of the call participant and/or the prison inmate, and/or (for video calls) body language of the parties to the call, to determine whether the conversation content, voice characteristics, and/or body language are indicative of impermissible content and/or impermissible conduct (i.e., indicative of past, present, and/or future criminal behavior or acts, and the like).

Abstract: A software application for execution upon an electronic device (e.g., a smartphone, tablet, headgear, wearable, etc.) for a potential consumer of real estate. The software application may provide a completely virtual setting that is customizable (e.g., via a user interface or voice recognition) by the user. The software application may provide an augmented setting through a display of the electronic device that draws over or otherwise modifies portions or areas of a physical setting that is being viewed upon a display of the electronic device. Users can interact with the software via voice commands, an input device, such as a mouse, keyboard, and/or other manipulatable pad, in order to choose or select desired customizations.

Abstract: An approach is provided for managing and verifying configuration of a client network and the network devices by assessing or sharing network/device information. The approach includes querying a client system to determine one or more information items associated with a network and one or more network devices in the client system. The approach further includes generating a verified profile for the network and the one or more network devices. The approach also includes analyzing a modification in an active profile associated with the network and the one or more network devices. Further, the approach includes initiating an update to the verified profile or to the active profile based on a validation of the modification.

Abstract: A system and method for applying steam to baked products in a conveyorized oven. A steam tunnel sub-enclosure includes exhaust ducts collecting steam at the conveyor's entrance and exit thereof to prevent steam from being released into the rest of the oven where it might interfere with ignition control equipment.

Abstract: A stator for an electric motor includes first and second rows of conductors arranged concentrically around an axis inside a steel core. Each conductor includes a linking end. The stator also includes a first dielectric shim ring arranged between the two rows of conductors. Each conductor of the first row is bent in either a clockwise or a counter-clockwise direction relative to the axis and each conductor of the second row is bent in the opposite direction. The linking end of each conductor of the first row is attached to the linking end of an adjacent conductor of the second row after the conductors are bent. The first shim ring separates the first and second rows of conductors when the conductors are being bent, and is also at least partially disposed between the first and second rows of conductors when the linking ends are being attached.

Abstract: An apparatus for joining a wire pair of a stator coil. The apparatus includes a tool having a pair of electrodes and control equipment. The control equipment is configured to control the electrodes to apply force to the wire pair to push adjacent wires of the wire pair toward each other and cause current to pass between the pair of electrodes, and so through the wire pair pushed together, at a time at which the force is being applied to the wire pair.

Abstract: A method of joining the ends of wire windings for a motor stator or the like includes preparing a surface at each end (e.g., by removing any enamel coating), deforming the surfaces to produce knurls, striations, and the like, and then ultrasonically bonding the two surfaces to produce the bond between windings, thereby providing a joint with improved strength.

Abstract: A bar wound stator assembly includes a connection module attached to a stator core at a weld end of the stator assembly. The connection module provides all required electrical connections to connect shaped plurality of hairpin bar connectors of the stator assembly within a first pole pair of a winding set of conductors. All of the hairpin bar conductors include an identical span. The connection module completes each phase of the winding set, to connect each phase of the winding set to define a connection configuration, e.g., a wye or a delta connection configuration, and to connect the stator assembly to all external connections.

Abstract: An antimicrobial composition and a method for administering the antimicrobial composition through the water or feed of livestock, wherein the antimicrobial composition is made up of lysozyme and various other agents that act synergistically with lysozyme, such as, dried egg powder, albumen, a sequestering agent and/or a lantibiotic. The composition is used to inhibit the growth of, and diseases and epidemiological significant effects caused by, Clostridium perfinigens, E, coli and Salmonella, in the gut of livestock. More particularly, the antimicrobial composition and method relate to a feed additive that can be administered to poultry and/or swine through their feed. The use of such a feed additive may also inhibit other enteric pathogens that may be present in the gut of livestock.

Abstract: A system and method of conveying objects. A switching station is operated in coordination with gaps formed in a first product stream carried on an upstream conveyor, to split the first product stream into two or more second product streams carried on downstream conveyors.

Abstract: In systems embodying the invention, a battery powered collimated light source is located at the muzzle end of a cannon and is beamed back over the length “L” of the cannon gun tube to the collecting aperture of an optical transceiver located near the breech end (or trunnion) of the cannon. The turn-on and turn-off of the collimated light source is under the control of the gunner of the tank or the tank's fire control computer system to ensure that the battery power/energy is used only when deemed necessary by the user so that battery power is conserved.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for optically testing products such as condoms, gloves or any number of similar objects without contact and non-destructively. In testing for holes, a light source having a wavelength at which the product to be tested is relatively opaque is used to illuminate either the inner or outer wall of the product and a photo sensor sensitive to the particular wavelength is located to sense the amount of light passing through the wall of the product. In testing for embedded particles, a light source of visible light is used to illuminate the product to be tested and a photosensor senses any variation in the amount of light passing through the walls of the product.In the testing of products, such as condoms, for the presence of holes, the condom is mounted on a transparent mandrel or distended by inflating the condom with a jet of air.

Abstract: An autocollimator having particular utility in optical aiming systems for the cannons of battle tanks comprises a pair of light sources for directing two beams of light along different paths towards a light reflector mounted, for example, on the muzzle of a tank barrel. The two beams of light are thus reflected along different paths towards a position sensitive light detector suitable for providing an output electrical signal indicative of both the receipt thereon of one or both of the reflected light beams and the position of the light beams on the light detector. The light sources are alternately turned on and off in non-overlapping time periods to provide identification of which of the two beams is being detected by the light detector.
