  • Publication number: 20180286430
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for assessing/evaluating the verbal fluency of a user by obtaining a speech (audial/acoustic signal) from a user, detecting disrupted/stuttered and fluent speech time-intervals in the speech, calculating a Disrupted-time value and Fluent-time value based on the disrupted/stuttered and fluent speech time-intervals respectively, and deriving a speech efficiency score for the user/speech based on the Disrupted-time value and Fluent-time value.

  • Publication number: 20130007212
    Abstract: As part of the system and method of the present invention, either a Client Agent and/or a Predictive Server intercept a request from a client to a server, and a response from the server to the client. Based on information derived from the client/server communication, either the Client Agent or the Predictive Server generates a predictive request for data. The server's response to the predictive request is stored at either the Client Agent or the Predictive Server, and is forward to the client when the client generates a request for the data contained in the response.

  • Patent number: 8069406
    Abstract: The rendering of markup language based files is accelerated by employing an apparatus to capture requests for markup language pages. The requested pages are retrieved and then examined to identify additional links that are contained therein. The markup language page is then modified by adding a trigger or tag into the page. The trigger or tag is basically a mechanism to automate a request for additional markup language information or pages. The trigger or tag, when received by the device requesting the markup language page, will invoke a request to obtain the markup language information or file represented by the tag. The tag can be a browser activated link or a JavaScript. A predictive module is used to review the additional links in the requested pages to identify a predicted next page to be downloaded or requested. This predicted next page or link can be a most likely candidate for what a user viewing the current page would request.

  • Patent number: 7840190
    Abstract: A system and method for ensuring proper synchronization of a plurality of frequency sources used in reception diversity-based radio reception. The frequency sources are concatenated in a synchronization loop, through which one frequency source having a high performance oscillator is configured as a master source. Through its oscillator, the master provides an internal synchronization signal that synchronizes all other sources, which have lower performance oscillators and are configured as slaves. Upon a failure in the master oscillator or in the synchronization loop, a slave source takes over as an alternative master source and provides its internal oscillator signal as an alternative synchronization signal to all other frequency sources.

  • Patent number: 7680102
    Abstract: Traffic passing between remote terminals and corporate intranets through an access server provider network can encounter security and addressing problems. Intercepting and manipulating this traffic can overcome these, as well as other problems. For such traffic that is being transported over a plurality of Network Based Tunnels (NBT), this manipulation can be performed by manipulation equipment that may reside in the access server provider's network between an Access Gateway (AGW) and a Border Gateway (BGW). The manipulation equipment may manipulate received NBT packets by parsing the original packet that is encapsulated in the NBT packet, manipulating the original packet and reconstructing the NBT packet with the manipulated data of the original packet.
