Publication number: 20240029722Abstract: Audio data, corresponding to an utterance spoken by a person within a detection range of a voice communications device, can include an audio message portion. The audio data can be captured and analyzed to determine the intent to send a message. Based at least in part upon that intent, a remaining portion of the audio data can be analyzed to determine the intended message target or recipient, as well as the portion corresponding to the actual message payload. Once determined, the audio file can be trimmed to the message payload, and the message payload of the audio data can be delivered as an audio message to the target recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Neil Christopher Fritz, Lakshya Bhagat, Scott Southwood, Katelyn Doran, Brett Lounsbury, Christo Frank Devaraj

Patent number: 11321049Abstract: In this paper, binary stackers and counters are presented. In an embodiment, a counter uses 3-bit stacking circuits which group T bits together, followed a symmetric method to combine pairs of 3-bit stacks into 6-bit stacks. The bit stacks are then converted to binary counts, producing 6:3 and 7:3 Counter circuits with no XOR gates on the critical path. This avoids of XOR gates results in faster designs with efficient power and area utilization. In VLSI simulations, the presently-disclosed counters were 30% faster and at consumed at least 20% less power than existing parallel counters. Additionally, using the presently-disclosed counter in existing Counter Based Wallace tree multiplier architectures reduce latency and improves efficiency in term of power-delay product for 64-bit and 128-bit multipliers.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2018Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: The Research Foundation for The State University of New YorkInventors: Christopher Fritz, Adly T.

Patent number: 10796079Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for selecting page layouts based upon an outcome prediction associated with a request for a content page. Session variables associated with a request can be extracted. A score can be calculated based upon the session variables. The score can be generated by a machine learning engine that is trained using archived session data. A page layout can be selected based upon the generated score and a respective content page generated.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Bradley, Lakshya Bhagat, Nick Ciubotariu, Michael Albert Galassi, William Kevan Bennett Kennedy, Alexander Michael Spinelli, Nathan Andrew Sterken, Andrew James Will, Wei Zhang, Albert J.
