Late-Stage Semantic Disambiguation Of Multi-Hypothesis Automatic Speech Recognition In Digital Voice Platforms, Mubaraq Mishra Aug 2026

Late-Stage Semantic Disambiguation Of Multi-Hypothesis Automatic Speech Recognition In Digital Voice Platforms, Mubaraq Mishra

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes a system and methodology for improving speech recognition accuracy in smart home devices by transitioning from early-stage transcription biasing to late-stage semantic disambiguation. Conventional automatic speech recognition architectures prematurely resolve phonetic ambiguities by selecting only the single highest-ranked transcript, which often fails when processing niche media requests, regional dialects, or voice commands in noisy environments. The described framework preserves a complete set of alternative transcript hypotheses, packages them with their respective confidence metrics into a contextual container, and forwards them to a downstream semantic processing engine. By analyzing the phonetic relationships among these hypotheses alongside contextual signals …

In-Situ Eutectic Ultra-High-Temperature Ceramic Coatings With Dispersed Rhenium Intermetallics For Reusable Thermal Protection Systems, Volodymyr Kotegov Aug 2026

In-Situ Eutectic Ultra-High-Temperature Ceramic Coatings With Dispersed Rhenium Intermetallics For Reusable Thermal Protection Systems, Volodymyr Kotegov

Defensive Publications Series

Reusable launch vehicles and hypersonic re-entry vehicles experience surface temperatures that routinely exceed 2000 °C on leading edges and nose tips. Conventional ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) coatings based on hafnium or zirconium diboride offer high melting points but remain vulnerable to thermal-shock cracking and delamination caused by coefficient-of-thermal-expansion mismatch with the underlying composite substrate.

This paper describes a coating architecture that forms its final microstructure in situ during the first high-temperature exposure. A precursor layer of HfB₂ or ZrB₂, SiC and finely dispersed rhenium-based intermetallic particles is applied to a carbon-carbon or ceramic-matrix-composite substrate. When the surface temperature reaches approximately 1800–1950 …


Junction-Stabilized Graphene Aerogels For Cryogenic Insulation And Lightweight Radiation Shielding, Volodymyr Kotegov Aug 2026

Junction-Stabilized Graphene Aerogels For Cryogenic Insulation And Lightweight Radiation Shielding, Volodymyr Kotegov

Defensive Publications Series

Long-duration deep-space missions and reusable cryogenic stages require insulation that remains dimensionally stable at liquid-hydrogen temperatures, adds very little mass, and provides at least modest attenuation of ionizing radiation. Conventional polymer foams become brittle and crack after repeated cryogenic cycling in vacuum. Multi-layer insulation is thermally efficient but offers almost no radiation protection and loses performance when compressed.

This paper describes a graphene aerogel whose open-cell network is locked at the sheet junctions by in-situ formed metallic nano-clusters. Two practical variants are defined: a lower-metal thermal-primary grade optimised for minimum conductivity and maximum recovery, and a higher-metal radiation-enhanced grade that …
