  • Publication number: 20070225967
    Abstract: A system, method, and medium for cadence management of translated multi-speaker conversations including a demultiplexer for separating a multi-speaker audio source into time-related single-speaker audio tracks, each track containing first language audio snippets; and a pause relationship model generator and manager that determines the time relationships between the single-speaker snippets using pause markers to denote beginnings and endings of mutual silence pauses, collects a translated language audio track for each of single-speaker track, transforms the original pause relationship model of the snippets, and controls a multiplexer to producing a multi-speaker audio output including the translated snippets in a manner such that they are related in time according to the transformed pause relationship model.

  • Publication number: 20070225973
    Abstract: A system, method, and software-encoded computer readable medium which receives an electronic streaming information resource, such as a multi-party audio conversation, determines demarcations between collective audio chunks (CAC) within the resource by determining when universal pauses (UP) exist across all party contributions; and submits the collective audio chunks in a substantially first-found, first-submitted order to a translation system. The collective audio chunks are then translated in real time, and the translated collective audio chunks are loaded into a real-time streaming buffer for delivery to one or more destinations.

  • Publication number: 20060235964
    Abstract: An auditing system is disclosed comprising a Policy Validation Mechanism Program (PVMP) that operates in conjunction with a Workflow Engine (WE), and a Policy Validation Server Program (PVSP) that operates on a Policy Validation Server (PVS) connected to the WE by a secure communication link. The PVMP converts a workflow to a workflow representation (WR) and sends the WR to the PVS. The PVSP compares the steps in the WR to a security policy identified for that WR and determines whether the WR is in compliance. In addition, the PVSP validates a checksum for the WR and logs the checksum for subsequent comparisons. The PVSP uses the checksum to determine whether a policy has changed during execution of the workflow. If the WR is not in compliance, if the checksum cannot be validated, or if a policy has changed, then a failure notification is sent to the WE. Otherwise, a success notification is sent to the WR.

  • Publication number: 20050138208
    Abstract: An integration server architecture (ISA) that facilitates communication between processes that do not share a common message format or use a common communication protocol. The ISA comprises a combination of adapters and a Queuing and Translation Engine (QTE). Every process that uses the ISA must have an adapter designed to understand that process's native message format. The adapter forwards the message to the QTE. The QTE places the forwarded message in an incoming message queue (IMQ). The QTE then retrieves messages from the IMQ in the order they arrive, identifies the sender, and locates an entry for the sender in a Configuration Database (CDB). The CDB entry designates a translation map that enables the QTE to properly translate messages into the receiving process's native format. The QTE uses the map to translate the messages into the receiving process's native format, and then forwards the translated message to the appropriate adapter.

  • Patent number: 6158854
    Abstract: A container (1) is proposed for replenishing ink or solvent in an ink jet printer ink system. The container (1) has a plug-in connector (7) for attachment to a mating connector on the ink system along an axis so that fluid within the container (1) can be transferred to the ink system. Adjacent to the connector (7) a cam surface is disposed so as to cause the connector (7) to disconnect from the mating connector on rotation of the container (1) in a direction about the axis.
