  • Publication number: 20240153523
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating a transcript of a legal proceeding or other multi-speaker conversation or performance in real time or near-real time using multi-channel audio capture. Different speakers or participants in a conversation may each be assigned a separate microphone that is placed in proximity to the given speaker, where each audio channel includes audio captured by a different microphone. Filters may be applied to isolate each channel to include speech utterances of a different speaker, and these filtered channels of audio data may then be processed in parallel to generate speech-to-text results that are interleaved to form a generated transcript.

  • Publication number: 20240143519
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to allocating bandwidth. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, respective amounts of bandwidth are allocated to respective application groups for each memory access cycle in a set of memory access cycles. Initial bonus bandwidth is provided to a first one of the application groups during one of the memory access cycles. The bonus bandwidth may include at least a portion of bandwidth allocated to and unused by one of the other respective application groups during the memory access cycle. Additional bonus bandwidth is selectively provided to the first application group during one of the memory access cycles based on the initial bonus bandwidth and a maximum amount of bonus bandwidth defined for the set of memory access cycles, in response to bandwidth allocated to one of the other respective application groups during the subsequent memory access cycle being unused.

  • Publication number: 20240138586
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to smart beds and, more specifically, to smart beds that can detect at least one component of an activity by an individual sleeping on the smart bed that is indicative of a condition that adversely affects restful sleep by the sleeping individual. Additionally, this disclosure relates to smart beds that automatically adjust a state of the sleep surface of a mattress in response to detection of the activity to reduce the activity by the sleeping individual.

  • Publication number: 20240146053
    Abstract: A resonance avoidance system including a resonance avoidance controller configured to insert a delay between sequential transactions on a communication interface separated by an inactive period to avoid stimulating a power distribution network resonance. The resonance avoidance controller may be configured to insert the delay by delaying a second transaction from being driven onto the communication interface after a first transaction in which the delay is sufficient to avoid stimulating the power distribution network resonance. The delay may be inserted by delaying a driver from driving the second transaction by the sufficient delay. The conflict may be detected between first and second commands in a command queue, in which the delay may be inserted by inserting no operation commands between the commands in the command queue. Operational timing values may be stored that are used to detect resonant frequency conflicts.

  • Publication number: 20240143432
    Abstract: An aspect of the invention is directed towards a data processing system and method including a transaction scheduler configured to process transactions, a tag control circuit coupled to the transaction scheduler configured to detect a fault by comparing output signals, and a controller coupled to the tag control circuit. The controller is configured to receive a transaction request identifying a transaction, generate a unique tag value for the transaction request, load the unique tag value into the transaction scheduler, determine a current unique tag value associated with the transaction being executed, and generate a fault. The system is further configured to generate fault when: (i) the current unique tag value is not found, or (ii) the transactions timeout after a predetermined number of cycles.

  • Patent number: 11970883
    Abstract: Disclosed is a tamper proof tag and accompanying method for verifying that a watch is authentic and has not been tampered with. The tamper proof tag, when affixed to the watch, ensures that the watch is authentic and prevents a user from tampering with the watch. The tamper proof tag also allows the watch to be worn while the tamper proof tag is affixed to watch and is minimally obstructive to the aesthetics of the watch. This provides a purchasing user with confidence that the watch is authentic, while also allowing the user to try on the watch without having to remove the tamper proof tag. The tamper proof tag also protects the seller from a user that may attempt to tamper with the watch after purchase. For example, the seller may condition returns for a sold watch on the tamper proof tag remaining affixed to the watch.

  • Publication number: 20240130825
    Abstract: An adapter for removably coupling a tracker to a surgical handpiece includes a proximal member having an interface configured to engage and prevent rotation of the proximal member relative to the surgical handpiece, a distal member slidably and rotatably coupled to the proximal member, a biasing member disposed between the proximal distal members and configured to urge the proximal and distal members in opposing directions, and a tracking array mount coupled to the distal member. The biasing member is configured to be compressed by a reference feature of the end effector and the surgical handpiece when the distal member is disposed on the end effector and the end effector is coupled to the surgical handpiece, the compressed biasing member creating a frictional force between the distal and proximal members that resists rotation of the distal member relative to the proximal member.
