Filed:

Oct 31, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/999656

Inventors:

Michael Luna - Carnation WA, US
David Chen - San Carlos CA, US
Stephen Dusse - Woodside CA, US

International Classification:

H04M003/00

US Classification:

455/419000, 455/466000, 455/426000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for provisioning a mobile station over a wireless network are described. The mobile station contains a browser to allow navigation of hypermedia content. The browser sends a request for provisioning content to a remote provisioning server via the wireless network. The request includes a network resource locator. In response, the provisioning server sends a markup language document via a wireless network to the mobile station, containing a reference to provisioning content. The browser retrieves the provisioning content based on the reference and stores the provisioning content in the mobile station. The provisioning content is used in the mobile station to enhance a capability of the mobile station.

US Classification:

704 2

Abstract:

The subject disclosure generally describes a technology by which text and/or speech descriptions are collected by showing a stimulus such as video clips to contributors (e.g., of a crowd-sourcing service). The descriptions, which are in the language of each contributor's choice, are of the same stimulus and thus associated with one another. While each contributor may be monolingual, the technique allows for the collection of approximately bilingual data, since more than one language may be represented among the different contributors. The descriptions may be used as translation data for training a machine translation engine, and as paraphrase data (grouped by the same language) for training a machine paraphrasing system. Also described is evaluating the quality of a machine paraphrasing system via a distinctiveness metric.

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatus for fiber optic lighting panels that produce twinkling star patterns by means of a light engine and specialized optics are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a disclosed panel for creating a lighted scene comprises a substrate comprising a first surface, a second surface spaced from the first surface, and a plurality of apertures through the first and second surfaces. The panel further comprises an optical lens disposed on the first surface within each of the apertures. Also, the panel comprises a light distribution unit (LDU) comprising a plurality of light sources coupled to the second surface. Further, the panel comprises a bundle of optical fibers coupled to each of the light sources, where each of the optical fibers is in communication with one of the optical lenses for transferring light emitted by the light sources to create the lighted scene.
