Abstract: The technology is directed to a system that enhances input(s) received from a device. The system analyzes the input to extract features such as acoustic properties and expressive parameters. The system upscales the input based on the extracted features and translates the enhanced audio into text while maintaining the original context and satisfying predetermined language guidelines. The system generates synthesized speech that preserves the context of the original input and presents the synthesized speech via a speaker of the device. The system can process communications containing hybrid multimodal inputs by identifying the communication mode of each input and extracting contextual features from the multimodal inputs. The system generates a message for communication by translating the extracted contextual features into a predefined communication format and presents the message via the device.

Abstract: A bag may include opposing first and second sidewalls of a pliable thermoplastic material that may be joined to each other along first and second side seals and a closed bottom. The sidewalls may remain un-joined along their top edges to form an opening into which trash and other items may be deposited. When the bag is placed in a trash receptacle, the un-joined top edges may be folded over the rim of the receptacle to secure the liner to the receptacle. To assist with securing the bag to the receptacle, the side seals may be directed to converge partially toward each other thereby forming a throat in the interior volume proximate the opening. When the top edges are folded over the receptacle rim, the throat may grip the receptacle. The bag may include a pattern between the converging portions. The bag may include a retention strip between the converging portions.

Abstract: Absorbent article such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders, and the like, that have a unique composite member forming a portion of the elasticized side panel and the elasticized waistband. The composite member includes an elastomeric member and a three-dimensional, macroscopically expanded, formed-film member secured to at least one of the surfaces of the elastomeric member. The composite member provides the preferred bulk, elasticity, resiliency, and stiffness required to withstand the application, wear and removal stresses and provide the desired comfort during the typical wearing cycle of a disposable diaper.
