  • Publication number: 20240160403
    Abstract: A computer-implemented input-method editor process includes receiving a request from a user for an application-independent input method editor having written and spoken input capabilities, identifying that the user is about to provide spoken input to the application-independent input method editor, and receiving a spoken input from the user. The spoken input corresponds to input to an application and is converted to text that represents the spoken input. The text is provided as input to the application.

  • Publication number: 20040063357
    Abstract: A two piece power plug housing for an electric machine has base and cover members hinged together forming an enclosure for the machine leads and male terminals. The leads and terminals are held in position in recesses in the housing and may be repositioned by opening the housing. Neck elements on the base and cover form a cylindrical neck inserted in the hole of the machine band to mount the housing.

  • Patent number: 5465211
    Abstract: A control system is provided which prevents a powerful, propeller driven, jet training aircraft from requiring corrective action to throttling and gyroscopic effects when the student wishes to fly the aircraft in coordinated flight. The control system includes a digital memory having stored therein flight test generated data representative of the relationship between the amount of rudder trim required to maintain the aircraft in coordinated flight as a function of aircraft engine torque and airspeed. Sensors are provided to measure aircraft engine torque aircraft altitude aircraft speed, and pitch rate. The measured parameters are coupled to the digital computer. The digital computer combines the parameters provided by the sensors and data read from the memory to produce a composite rudder trim signal which automatically reduces rudder forces induced by throttling and gyroscopic effects produced in response to pilot commanded maneuvers to thereby maintain the aircraft in coordinated flight.
