A method of balancing a user's input to an interactive computer program with the program's output is obtained by continually measuring the difference between the user's input and the program's output and adjusting one or more parameters of the program's output so that the difference from the user's performance is progressively reduced. The adjustment may be obtained dynamically through negative feedback dampening of the measured difference (delta) between user input and program output, and/or by selection of predetermined apposite values for program output corresponding to the measurement of user input. The adjustment results in dynamic generation and/or selection of premodeled segments of interactive output in closer balance with user input. The adjustment method can be applied to video games, educational games, productivity programs, training programs, biofeedback programs, entertainment programs, and other interactive programs. In video games, the adjustment method results in balancing user performance with game difficulty for a more engaging game experience. It can also enable embedded advertising to be triggered when the user is in an optimum state of engagement. The adjustment method may be performed by projecting future trends of user performance, selecting predetermined or dynamically determined levels of value, modifying user control of input devices, or even modifying the program's challenges to user capability over time.

In accordance with a present invention speech training system is disclosed. It uses a microphone to receive audible sounds input by a user into a first computing device having a program with a database consisting of (i) digital representations of known audible sounds and associated alphanumeric representations of the known audible sounds, and (ii) digital representations of known audible sounds corresponding to mispronunciations resulting from known classes of mispronounced words and phrases. The method is performed by receiving the audible sounds in the form of the electrical output of the microphone. A particular audible sound to be recognized is converted into a digital representation of the audible sound. The digital representation of the particular audible sound is then compared to the digital representations of the known audible sounds to determine which of those known audible sounds is most likely to be the particular audible sound being compared to the sounds in the database. In response to a determination of error corresponding to a known type or instance of mispronunciation, the system presents an interactive training program from the computer to the user to enable the user to correct such mispronunciation.

The invention discloses a deep learning-based vulnerability detection method and system. The method comprises an offline vulnerability classifier training part and an online vulnerability detection part. The offline vulnerability classifier training part comprises the following steps of: calling candidate code sections for a training program extraction library/API function; adding type label for the candidate code sections; converting the candidate code sections into vectors; inputting the vectors into a neural network model to carry out training; and finally outputting a vulnerability classifier. The online vulnerability detection part comprises the following steps of: calling candidate code sections for a target program extraction library/API function; converting the candidate code sections into vectors; classifying the candidate code sections by adoption of the trained vulnerability classifier; and finally outputting the code sections which contain online vulnerabilities in the classification result. According to the method and system, vulnerability features aiming at library/API function calling can be automatically generated, and the operation does not depend on expert knowledges and is not restricted to vulnerability types, so that the false report rate and missing report rate of vulnerability detection in target programs can be remarkably reduced and vulnerability positions can be given.

Disclosed is a dumbbell of the type commonly found in a fitness center to be used as a weight training device during a weight training or exercise program. The dumbbell includes a gripping handle and a pair of collars fixedly connected to opposites ends of the handle. A series of weight plates having correspondingly different weights are adapted to be detachably connected to each other and to each one of the collars so as to enable a user to selectively and incrementally adjust the gross weight of the dumbbell to conform to his weight training program. Each weight plate carries a lock cartridge having an engagement pin moving therethrough between retracted and extended positions in response to a manual pushing force. In the extended position, the engagement pin of an additional weight plate is received within an engagement pin extension channel of an existing weight plate being carried by the dumbbell, whereby to prevent a disconnection of the additional weight plate from the existing weight plate.

One of a plurality of prepared given expressions is displayed on a screen.
