Title: Dynamic Measurement of density using terahertz radiation with real-time thickness measurement for process control
Inventor: KING EDWARD
IPC: G01N21/3586
Filed: 2015-05-07
Abstract: A method of determining a density of a roller compacted ribbon 230 is disclosed. The method comprises compacting dry pharmaceutical powder between press rollers (125, Fig 1) of a roller compactor to produce a compact ribbon 230. A thickness at a point on the compact ribbon is determined in a non-invasive manner after it has rolled out from in between the press rollers. The compact ribbon is passed through a gap in between a terahertz emitter 220 and a terahertz detector 240. The method comprises determining a refractive index at the point on the compact ribbon using a measurement value from the terahertz emitter and the terahertz detector and a measured value for the thickness at the point. Finally, the method comprises computing a density of the compact ribbon at the point using a value of the refractive index. The thickness may be determined by passing the ribbon through a gap between two laser micrometers 250. The method may employ a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy technique which employs determining a time-of-flight duration of a radiation pulse emitted by the terahertz emitter 220.

Title: Prioritizing data reconstruction in distributed storage systems
Inventor: Steven Robert Schirripa
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2015-01-23
Abstract: A method (600) of prioritizing data (312) for recovery in a distributed storage system (100) includes, for each stripe (320) of a file (310) having chunks (330), determining whether the stripe comprises high-availability chunks (330a) or low- availability chunks (330b) and determining an effective redundancy value (ER) for each stripe. The effective redundancy value is based on the chunks and any system domains (402) associated with the corresponding stripe. The distributed storage system has a system hierarchy (400) including system domains. Chunks of a stripe associated with a system domain in an active state are accessible, whereas chunks of a stripe associated with a system domain in an inactive state are inaccessible. The method also includes reconstructing substantially immediately inaccessible, high-availability chunks having an effective redundancy value less than a threshold effective redundancy (ERT) value and reconstructing the inaccessible low-availability and other inaccessible high-availability chunks, after a threshold period of time.

Title: Facilitation of offline semantic processing in a resource-constrained device
Inventor: YULI GAO
IPC: G10L15/30
Filed: 2016-12-12
Abstract: A voice-enabled, resource-constrained device 52 (eg. mobile phone) uses a stored offline grammar model 76 to semantically process long tail (ie. relatively unique) voice input queries or commands (eg. Im really in the mood for some [artist name]) which are also converted offline 74 in order to identify candidate response actions 72 which the device can perform, and updates an offline action model 78 to map queries to response actions. Online actions 80 can then be processed and performed when connectivity is restored. A phrase may be parsed using location information (eg. the store being near home or on the usual route from work), and user actions may inform statistics on future actions (eg. a performed action becomes a qualifying action if executed promptly in direct response to a query).
