  • Patent number: 11660698
    Abstract: Disclosed example power supplies, user interfaces, and methods provide for monitoring, analysis and/or presentation of input power characteristics for a welding-type power supply and/or wire feeder. A welding system includes a power supply to deliver power to a welding torch based on one or more input power characteristics. The input power characteristics may correspond to received input power characteristics values during a welding procedure. The input power characteristics are responsive to the power demanded during the welding operation and may change accordingly. To maintain an accounting of the input power characteristics and their values as they change during the welding operation, control circuitry may receive information regarding the input characteristics, analyze the information, and/or generate presentable indicators for display on one or more graphical interfaces.

  • Patent number: 11662880
    Abstract: Users can switch between applications using contextual interface elements. These elements can include icons for applications determined to likely be accessed by the user for a current context. Information is gathered to determine the current context, then information such as patterns of historical usage are utilized to determine and rank the applications by likelihood of use. Different contexts can include different icons, and a given context can include different icons for different points in time or locations. A user can access a contextual interface element by performing a swipe motion, for example. The user can continue the motion to an area associated with an icon of interest, and perform an action such as a tap or release to cause the associated application to be launched. Such an approach enables a user to quickly and easily launch another application independent of the application currently active on the device.

  • Patent number: 11651149
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to formulating and refining field extraction rules that are used at query time on raw data with a late-binding schema. The field extraction rules identify portions of the raw data, as well as their data types and hierarchical relationships. These extraction rules are executed against very large data sets not organized into relational structures that have not been processed by standard extraction or transformation methods. By using sample events, a focus on primary and secondary example events help formulate either a single extraction rule spanning multiple data formats, or multiple rules directed to distinct formats. Selection tools mark up the example events to indicate positive examples for the extraction rules, and to identify negative examples to avoid mistaken value selection. The extraction rules can be saved for query-time use, and can be incorporated into a data model for sets and subsets of event data.

  • Patent number: 11644335
    Abstract: A map database stores data describing a set of connected roadways, each having one or more lanes. A coverage system selects lanes from the map database along which AVs can stop, such as parking lanes. The coverage system generates buffer regions for each of the stopping lanes, where each buffer region includes an area within a given distance of the respective lane. The coverage system combines the buffer regions to generate a coverage area, and provides a display of the coverage area overlayed over a map of roads corresponding to the coverage area.

  • Patent number: 11645452
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to evaluating the performance characteristics of annotator configurations against text pattern constructs in unstructured text. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, unstructured text is received by a processor. A text pattern construct is identified in the unstructured text and a first performance characteristic of an annotator is determined based on the text pattern construct. The text pattern construct is converted to a natural language text and a second performance characteristic of the annotator is determined based on the natural language text. A delta is determined between the first performance characteristic and the second performance characteristic. An alternative annotator configuration is identified for a portion of the unstructured text comprising the text pattern construct.

  • Patent number: 11625157
    Abstract: Implementations relate to continuation of playback of media content by different devices. In some implementations, a method includes causing a stream of media content data to be received from a stream source and output by a first device to a user, where a portion of the data is buffered on the first device before output. An indication is detected that the user has stopped using the first device for output of the content data. A place marker indicates a portion of the content that is output approximately at the time of the indication. The method causes the stream of content data to be received and output by a second device starting at the place marker portion. The buffered content data is sent from the first device to the second device for output by the second device before unbuffered portions of the content data received from the stream source.

  • Patent number: 11579841
    Abstract: A speech-processing system may provide access to one or more skills via spoken commands and/or responses in the form of synthesized speech. The system may be capable of keeping one or more skills active in the background while a user interacts (e.g., provides inputs to and/or receives outputs from) with a skill running in the foreground. A background skill may receive some trigger data, and determine to request the system to return the background skill to the foreground to, for example, request a user input regarding an action previously requested by the user. In some cases, the user may invoke a background skill to continue a previous interaction. The system may return the background skill to the foreground. The resumed skill may continue a previous interaction to, for example, to query the user for instructions, provide an update or alert, or continue a previous output.
