Provided herein are manipulators for handling fragile layers and related methods of handling using the manipulators. The manipulators comprise a contact surface with thermally responsive recess features and a microelectric heater in thermal contact with the contact surface. In this manner, the manipulator is an electrothermal manipulator, with changes in temperature providing a contact force to pick-up a transferable layer material and a release force to facilitate release of the transferable from the manipulator.

Disclosed herein are a natural language processing system and method, more particularly a natural language processing system and method using a synapper model unit.

Natural language processing system and method using a synapper model unit

A method for translating a text written or otherwise communicated in a source natural language into a text written or otherwise communicable in target natural language, in reliance upon a multidimensional model, relies on determining the core concept in the sentences of the source text, and leverages the determined core concepts to create the target language translation. The method includes processing the source natural language text into sentences, then parsing the sentences, including assigning codes and/or directional operators to realize parsed sentences according to the model. The sentence models are then processed effect the actual translation to the target natural language text, and communicated.

Multi-dimensional parsing method and system for natural language processing

Electronic assistive gloves for covering artificial prosthetic or robotic hands. The glove includes a base layer formed to fit on the artificial hand, a plurality of sensors carried by the base layer, and an encapsulation layer covering the base layer and formed of a material that mimics human skin.
