Abstract: A universal language translator automatically translates a spoken word or phrase between two speakers. The translator can lock onto a speaker and filter out ambient noise so as to be used in noisy environments, and to ensure accuracy of the translation when multiple speakers are present.

Abstract: An input file is processed according to hash algorithm that references sets of literals to preceding sets of literals to facilitate copy-offset command generation. Preceding instances are identified by generating a hash of the literal set and looking up a corresponding entry in a hash table. The hash table may be accessed by placing look-up requests in a FIFO buffer. When the FIFO buffer is full, generation of the hash chain is suspended until it is no longer full. When repeated literals are found, generation of the hash chain is likewise suspended. The hash chain is used to generate a command file, such as according to the LZ algorithm. Runs of consecutive literals are replaced by a run-length command. The command file may then be encoded using Huffman encoding.

Abstract: A computing environment includes a home site and a cache site with nonhomogeneous thin-provisioned storage configurations. A file management system updates files stored at the cache site. Each updated file has an updated file size and a pre-update file size. When a resynchronization is needed between the cache site and the home site, for example due to an extended communication failure, the storage requirement changes for the updated files are calculated and a notification is sent to the home site. The notification identifies the updated files and the storage requirement changes. The home site sends a reply to the cache site. The reply identifies which files are approved for immediate processing. The cache site transfers resynchronization data for the approved files to the home site, and delays transferring resynchronization data for the unapproved files until subsequent replies from the home site indicate that the previously unapproved files are now approved.

Abstract: A configured machine performs image matching and retrieval of natural images that may depict logos. The machine generates and uses color-localized spatial masks, which may be computationally less expensive than spatial verification techniques. Key points are detected within images that form a reference database of images. Local masks are defined by the machine around each key point based on the scale and orientation of the key point. To utilize color information presented in logo images, ordered color histograms may be extracted by the machine from locally masked regions of each image. A cascaded index may then be constructed for both visual descriptors and color histograms. For faster matching, the cascaded index maps the visual descriptors and color histograms to a list of relevant or similar images. This list may then be ranked to generate relevant matches for an input query image.
