A speech processing system configured to convey linked content to a user in a voice user interface (VUI) environment is described. The system may create output audio data that includes an audible indicator (e.g., a beep) that indicates to a user linked content. An audible indicator may be located at the beginning and/or end of linked content in the output audio data. The system may also output non-linked content in a first voice while outputting linked content in a second voice. The system may further overlay audio atop the linked portion of the output audio data, with the overlaid audio indicating the linked content to the user. A user may invoke linked content in output audio by speaking the linked content, or a portion thereof, back to the system. The system may then output the linked, additional content to the user.

Linked content in voice user interface

A plasma ignition system is described herein that can produce plasma ionization around a spark plug gap using a single power circuit for the spark and plasma ionization. The system results in fewer components and higher reliability, allowing the system to be more easily integrated with existing ignition circuitry or in new ignition system designs. The plasma ignition system adds a one-way current path between the primary and secondary windings of the high voltage transformer. This allows energy stored within the capacitor after the creation of the spark to flow out of the capacitor, across the one-way current path, and through the spark plug gap. Thus, the plasma ignition system provides a dramatically better ignition spark with relatively little increase in components. The system does so without requiring a secondary power supply circuit to generate the current for producing plasma ionization.

An anomaly detector compares a first event from a business activity monitoring system to a second number from an independent trusted source, wherein the first event includes a first number. The anomaly detector determines that the first number from the business activity monitoring system is inconsistent with the second number. The anomaly detector generates a calibration relationship between first number and second number based on time, responsive to a determination that the first number is inconsistent with the second number. The anomaly detector stores the calibration relationship. The anomaly detector receives a third number from the business activity monitoring system at an interval after comparing the first number. The anomaly detector displays the third number to a dashboard. The anomaly detector displays a qualifier to the third number.

A session is established between a user system and an existing version of a network application. Once the session is established, session information corresponding to the session is determined and then communicated to the user system. The session information typically includes a version identifier that identifies the existing version of the network application. Requests received during the same session are accompanied with the session information. The session information is used to route the requests to the existing version of the network application.

Extensible URI-pattern-based servlet request processing frameworks process and respond to requests for resources sent over a network by client programs to application programs in multi-tiered data processing systems. An extension processor component, an improved web container; and an improved web application architecture form the framework. The extension processor component includes one or more extension processor factories, each of which generates a single type of extension processor to handle specific application components. Each extension processor is adapted to respond to a request having a declared pattern. The extension processor factory resides within the web container and provides a list of patterns for which it is responsible. The extension factory also instantiates an extension processor to respond to a request having a pattern that matches that extension processor's declared pattern. The improved web application includes a request mapper adapted to route a request having a particular pattern to the appropriate extension processor.

A technique for extracting a gate level logic model from transistor networks has been described. The resultant logic model can be technology dependent or technology independent, depending on control parameters and environment of the program. It handles all CMOS logic families including static, precharge, pass CMOS switching network and self-resetting families. The output gate level model can be used in variety of applications including but not limited to logic simulation, verification, test generation, debug, diagnosis, etc.
