  • Publication number: 20240168702
    Abstract: Various embodiments described herein provide for configuration of audio for voice test system automation. In this regard, audio prompt data is output via at least one sound card from a set of sound cards integrated within an execution device in response to establishing a connection with a mobile device. In response to the audio prompt data being output via the at least one sound card, at least mobile device data is received from the mobile device. The mobile device data may be generated in response to recognition of particular audio prompt data output via the at least one sound card. Additionally, the mobile device data is correlated with sound card data that corresponds to information related to the at least one sound card. The sound card data in connection with the mobile device data is also encoded into a database associated with voice test automation for a voice system that facilitates workflow tasks for a user related to the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11971399
    Abstract: A resonant sensor probe assembly includes a substrate formed from one or more dielectric materials and free-standing electrodes coupled with the substrate. The free-standing electrodes are configured to be placed into the fluid and to generate an electric field between the free-standing electrodes. A controller measures an impedance response of the sensor to the fluid between the electrodes to determine an aging effect of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 11115697
    Abstract: Techniques for resolution-based manifest generation for adaptive bitrate video streaming are described. As one example, a computer-implemented method includes performing a first, convex hull optimization on a video file for a first device resolution, performing a second, convex hull optimization on the video file for a second, lower device resolution, generating a first video representation for a point on both the first, convex hull optimization and the second, convex hull optimization for the first device resolution and the second, lower device resolution, generating a second video representation for a point only on the second, convex hull optimization for the second, lower device resolution, receiving a request for a manifest for the video file from a client device at the second, lower device resolution, generating the manifest for the client device that identifies the first video representation and the second video representation, and sending the manifest to the client device.

  • Patent number: 10529335
    Abstract: An auto-complete method for a spoken complete value entry is provided. A processor receives a possible complete value entry having a unique subset, prompts a user to speak the spoken complete value entry, receives a spoken subset of the spoken complete value entry, compares the spoken subset with the unique subset of the possible complete value entry, and automatically completes the spoken complete value entry to match the possible complete value entry if the unique subset matches the spoken subset. The spoken subset has a predetermined minimum number of characters.
