I suggest you to look them up in a pronunciation dictionary, such as Longman Pronunciation Dictionary. This dictionary contains the pronunciations of the most world-famous trademarks.
Hmmm...well I'll try, but the phonetic method Im about to write is probably not even kosher, let alone orthodox :S
Adiabatic: Ah-dee-ah-bah-te-k'
Yahoo: Sort of speaks for itself really :S
Sony: Soe-nee
Lycos: Lie-kos
Hope that helps.

In X-SAMPA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-SAMPA ) those would be (for American English):
adiabatic (had to look this one up) - [%{4i@"b{4Ik]
Sony - ["soUni]
Lycos - ["laIkoUs]
adiabatic (had to look this one up) - [%{4i@"b{4Ik]
Sony - ["soUni]
Lycos - ["laIkoUs]
I myself would pronounce those:
"adiabatic" : [%{:4i@"b{4Ik]
"Sony" : ["so~:ni:]
"Lycos" : ["L\@Ikos]
"adiabatic" : [%{:4i@"b{4Ik]
"Sony" : ["so~:ni:]
"Lycos" : ["L\@Ikos]
adiabatic /%{bi@"b{tIk/
Yahoo /%jA:"hu:/
SONY /"souni/
Lycos /"laIkous/
Yahoo /%jA:"hu:/
SONY /"souni/
Lycos /"laIkous/
