Abstract: There is provided a data processing apparatus comprising history storage circuitry that stores sets of behaviours of helper instructions for a control flow instruction. Pointer storage circuitry stores pointers, each associated with one of the sets. The behaviours in the one of the sets are indexed according to one of the pointers associated with that one of the sets. Increment circuitry increments at least some of the pointers in response to an increment event and prediction circuitry determines a predicted behaviour of the control flow instruction using one of the sets of behaviours.

Abstract: A smoking detector having a body with a substrate which has a smoking particle capturing surface area positioned upon it. The particle capturing surface area is configured to attract and adhere to airborne smoking particles released in smoke emitted from burning tobacco or marijuana or a Vape device. Smoking particles captured within the particle capturing surface area will luminesce when exposed to UV light providing physical proof that smoking occurred in the room or vehicle where the detector was placed during a defined time period.

Abstract: A system and method for temporarily disabling keyword detection to avoid detection of machine-generated keywords. A local device may operate two keyword detectors. The first keyword detector operates on input audio data received by a microphone to capture keywords uttered by a user. In these instances, the keyword may be detected by the first detector and the audio data may be indicated for speech processing. The system may determine output audio data responsive to the input audio data. The local device may process the output audio data to determine that it also includes the keyword. The device may then disable the first keyword detector while the output audio data is played back by an audio speaker of the local device. Thus the local device may avoid detection of a keyword originating from the output audio. The first keyword detector may be reactivated after a time interval during which the keyword might be detectable in the output audio.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for providing additional information for text in an image. In some implementations, a computing device receives an image including text. Optical character recognition (OCR) is performed on the image to produce recognized text. A word or a phrase is selected from the recognized text for providing additional information. One or more potential meanings of the selected word or phrase are determined. One of the potential meanings is selected based on other text in the image. A source of additional information corresponding to the selected meaning is selected for providing the additional information to a user's device.

Abstract: A system and method for temporarily disabling keyword detection to avoid detection of machine-generated keywords. Audio data received for output by audio speakers is first captured by an effect component, such as an audio equalizer. The effect component may perform various operations including altering the audio data, copying the audio data and delaying the time in which the output audio is sent to the audio speakers. The effect component may generate a copy of the audio data and transmit or route the copy of the audio data to a secondary keyword detector via an audio channel, resulting in a further delay. The secondary detector may determine that the copy of the processed audio data includes a keyword that is likely to be output during a first time interval. The secondary detector may then transmit a signal to a primary keyword detector to disable keyword detection during the first time interval of the output audio.
