Title: Handheld electronic device with text disambiguation employing advanced word frequency learning feature
Inventor: FUX VADIM
IPC: G06F3/023
Filed: 2006-04-04
Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. An enhanced word frequency learning feature is provided. The device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided. Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of a special <NEXT> key of the keypad that enables a user to progressively select variants generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device. If a field into which text is being entered is determined to be a special input field, a disambiguated result can be sought first from a predetermined data source prior to seeking results from other data sources on the device.

Title: Pulse generator for numerical control systems
IPC: G06F7/66
Filed: 1973-03-01
Abstract: 1419829 Pulse generator for numerical control CINCINNATI MILACRON Inc 8 Feb 1974 [1 March 1973] 10035/73 Heading G3N In performance of an incremental movement in two or more dimensions [#X, #Y], pulses of mean frequency fA are all delivered to that co-ordinate of controlled member motion requiring the greatest increment, pulses of mean frequency reduced with respect to fA by the ratios of the increment along the appropriate co-ordinate to the greatest increment being delivered to the remaining coordinates. For each co-ordinate shift register (10), Fig. 1 (not shown) contains the requisite increment and provided signal (ADD) is absent, the content of register (10) is repeatedly added to the content of a sum register (11) at a cycle rate high with respect to the rate f A , overflow pulses being counted, for each co-ordinate, by buffers 28X, 28Y, until that appertaining to the greatest increment reaches a predetermined count n [1, 1] to produce the signal ADD stopping the summing and hence the production of overflow pulses. At the production of a suceeding pulse of the train f A , an AND gate 29X, 29Y for each buffer is enabled to pass the pulse, provided the count of the corresponding buffer is at least equal to m [1, 0] a value less than n, such pulse constituting a controlled member driving pulse, also decrementing the count in the corresponding buffer. The drive pulses are hence in ratio of the overflows and hence of the desired increments. Pulse frequency fm, which may be progressively increased or decreased, for acceleration or deceleration, corresponds to maximum permitted member velocity, pulse eliminator 32, see Specification 1419830, ensuring that the pulse frequency f A  is so varied that the controlled member has the desired speed. Pulse generation is stopped when the increments reach the desired values [#X, #Y]. The controlled member is a work table or tool head. Normalisation: During preliminary recirculations of registers (10), the increments are moved to most significant bit positions as follows:- For a first recirculation a one is entered into normalizing register (20) under control of logic (21) if any or all of corresponding bit positions of coordinate registers 10 contains a one. If all such bit positions are zero, register (20) is cleared. During a second recirculation, the contents of all registers (10) are shifted towards the most significant bit position by as many positions as there are ones in register (20). The greatest increment then is at the most significant position in its register, other increments being shifted the same number of positions.

Abstract: 485,635. Automatic exchange systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., WRIGHT, E. P. G., BOWSHER, E. A. H., and BRAY, F. H. Nov. 20, 1936, No. 10095/38. Divided out of 485,628. Drawings to Specification. [Class 40 (iv)] In a system in which alternating-current supervisory signals are sent in both directions over a junction, interference with the transmission of a particular signal, e.g. the answering signal, by the transmission of signals in the other direction, e.g. by the calling subscriber operating his switch-hook or dial, is prevented by sending a preliminary signal (a short pulse) before the main signal (a long pulse). If the preliminary signal gets through it prevents the transmission of any interfering signals for a period sufficient for the reception of the main signal. If the preliminary signal is lost, the transmission of the main signal is delayed until the interfering signals have ceased. The invention is described with reference to a system identical with that described in Specification 485,628. Specification 445,099 also is referred to.
