  • Publication number: 20240040036
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for real-time user screening of messages within a communication platform. In one embodiment, the system presents, to a first user, a notification of an incoming call from a second user and options for managing the call; receives, from the first client device, a selection of an option to screen the call; in response to the first user selecting to screen the call, presents, to the second user, a prompt for capturing a message; presents a message to the first user; while the message is being presented to the first user, presents, to the first user, a second set of options; and if the system determines that a selection has been made of an option to interrupt the message to accept the call: stops both capture of the message and playback of the message, and presents a digital call between the first and second users.

  • Publication number: 20240017716
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a driveline of a hybrid vehicle are presented. In one example, a boost phase of a procedure to close a driveline disconnect clutch may be cut short in response to an engine changing state from not rotating to rotating so that the engine may be restarted in an alternative way. The system and methods may also predict a degraded engine start from a low engine cranking speed or a long cranking time duration so that the engine may be started in an alternative way to increase a possibility of starting the engine and decrease the severity of degraded driveline disturbance.

  • Patent number: 11858664
    Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing a Jupiter aerospace mission can enable delivery of a science payload to a Jupiter orbit on a direct Earth-to-Jupiter trajectory. Solar power and use of avionics also allow a fast assembly, integration, and test process compared to past outer Solar System missions. The spacecraft can include an aerodynamic forebody, a shell, and a thermal protection system. The spacecraft can manage the radiation environment, generate solar power, and return data to Earth with a robust radio-frequency (RF) amplification and antenna gain.

  • Publication number: 20230366966
    Abstract: The following relates generally to improved techniques for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In particular, the following relates to improving techniques of data acquisition and image reconstruction in relation to the “looping star” pulse sequence, which was developed to reduce acoustic noise. For example, techniques disclosed herein address the problem that looping star pulse sequence suffers from the overlapping echo effect. For instance, some implementations build echo-in and echo-out signal matrixes, and then sum the matrices to create a system matrix.

  • Publication number: 20230365337
    Abstract: An in-line valve assembly for a tubular drag conveyer system includes a first tube segment having a first end and defining a first passageway, a second tube segment having a second end and defining a second passageway, and a tubular valve body translatably disposed relative to the second tube segment and defining a valve passageway. The first end of the first tube segment is spaced apart from the second end of the second tube segment by a gap. The valve body is selectively adjustable between a closed position wherein the valve passageway spans the gap and connects the first passageway to the second passageway and an open position wherein the valve passageway is spaced apart from the first passageway by at least a portion of the gap.

  • Patent number: 11770475
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for robocall steering over voice-hosted traffic networks. The disclosed framework provides novel systems and methods for increasing the accuracy and efficiency in tracking, identifying, blocking and preventing robocalls and robocallers. The disclosed systems and methods provide mechanisms for identifying and removing unwanted voice traffic from networks. The disclosed systems and methods analyze voice traffic over a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 day or 30 days, for example), and leverage this information into a “know your customer” (KYC) score. This score enables incoming calls to be routed, controlled and/or blocked as they are communicated over voice networks.
