Patent number: 11847380Abstract: Systems and methods for providing supplemental information with a response to a command are provided herein. In some embodiments, audio data representing a spoken command may be received by a cloud-based information system. A response to the command may be retrieved from a category related to the context of the command. A supplemental information database may also be provided that is pre-populated with supplemental information related to an individual having a registered account on the cloud-based information system. In response to retrieving the response to the command, supplemental information may be selected from the supplemental information database to be appended to the response to the command. A message may then be generated including the response and the supplemental information appended thereto, which in turn may be converted into audio data representing the message, which may be sent to a voice-controlled electronic device of the individual.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Srikanth Doss Kadarundalagi Raghuram Doss, Jeffery David Wells, Richard Dault, Benjamin Joseph Tobin, Mark Douglas Elders, Stanislava R.

Patent number: 11693622Abstract: A system incorporating configurable keywords. The system can detect a keyword in audio data and execute one function for the keyword if a first application is operating, but a second function for the keyword if a second function is operating. Each keyword may be associated with multiple different functions. If a keyword is recognized during keyword detection, a function associated with that keyword is determined based on another application running on the system. Thus detection of a same keyword may result in a different function based on system context.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mark Douglas Elders, Nathan Lee Bosen, Richard Dault, Srikanth Doss Kadarundalagi Raghuram Doss, Skeets Jonathan Norquist, Ryan Christopher Rapp, Stanislava R.

Patent number: 11190504Abstract: A computer server controls access to a hosted service using digital certificates that are requested from each client attempting to access the service. When a particular client accesses the hosted service, the host service requests a digital certificate from the particular client and issues a challenge message. The particular client signs the challenge message and provides a client digital certificate to the hosted service. The hosted service confirms that the signature on the challenge message matches the client digital certificate, and that the client digital certificate is signed by a trusted entity. Trusted entities are defined by an administrator by uploading, to the hosted service, one or more trusted digital certificates associated with a trusted entities. Using the trusted digital certificates, the hosted service confirms that the digital certificate provided by the particular client is signed by at least one of the trusted entities.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm Russell Ah Kun, Uday Bheema, Ankur Goyal, Chao Li, Alexey A.

Publication number: 20200166316Abstract: A projectile for conventional firearms includes a cavity with a conical or ogive surface, and an internal cavity into which is disposed an explosive material, such as a low explosive material. The tip of the projectile includes a reservoir into which is disposed an initiator, detonator, or primer material. According to some embodiments a pin is disposed ahead of the initiator, while according to others, deformable material is placed ahead of the initiator, so that impact of the projectile onto a target shocks the initiator into deflagration, which propagates into the explosive material, to fragment the projectile or for pyrotechnic effects, or both. According to additional embodiments, the explosive may be a binary explosive activated by common substances available separately to a user, so that the product itself may be legally sold, shipped, and stored in a safe and stable state and thus incur fewer regulatory burdens.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventors: David Wells, Timothy Mark Wells
