Patent number: 11955122Abstract: Techniques for determining whether audio is machine-outputted or non-machine-outputted are described. A device may receive audio, may process the audio to determine audio data including audio features corresponding to the audio, and may process the audio data to determine audio embedding data. The device may process the audio embedding data to determine whether the audio is machine-outputted or non-machine-outputted. In response to determining that the audio is machine-outputted, then the audio may be discarded or not processed further. Alternatively, in response to determining that the audio is non-machine-outputted (e.g., live speech from a user), then the audio may be processed further (e.g., using ASR processing).Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mansour Ahmadi, Udhgee Murugesan, Roger Hau-Bin Cheng, Roberto Barra Chicote, Kian Jamali Abianeh, Yixiong Meng, Oguz Hasan Elibol, Itay Teller, Kevin Kwanghoon Ha, Andrew Roths

Patent number: 11948464Abstract: A network computer system receives request data from computing devices of requesting users in a sub-region of a service area. The system further receives location data from computing devices of drivers operating in the sub-region. Based on the request data and the location data, the system determines a service condition for the sub-region. Based on the service condition indicating that the sub-region is in a driver oversupply state, the system transmits a service instruction to computing devices of a plurality of drivers within the sub-region, the service instruction being associated with a target outside the sub-region and a set of progress conditions. The system then periodically determines, for each driver of the plurality of drivers, an estimated time of arrival (ETA) to the target from a current position of the driver to determine whether the driver is satisfying the set of progress conditions of the service instruction.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ashley Quitoriano, Kevin Spieser, Parijat Mazumdar, Rei Chiang, Shicong Meng, Zhi Li

Patent number: 11000187Abstract: An ophthalmic imaging system provides a user interface to facilitate the montaging of scan images collected with various imaging modalities, such as images collected with a fundus imaging system or an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. The amount of each constituent image used in the montage is dependent upon its respective quality. During the collecting of scans (constituent images) for montaging, any scan may be designated for rescanning, such as if its current quality is deemed less than sufficient. In the case of using an OCT system to collect constituent images (e.g., cube scans), the scanned region of a constituent image may be modified based on physical characteristics of the eye being scanned.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: CARL ZEISS MEDITEC, INC.Inventors: Sophie Kubach, Ali Fard, Jennifer Y. Luu, Mary K. Durbin, Matthew J. Everett, Conor Leahy, Luis De Sisternes, Kevin Meng, Gregory G. Anderson, Katherine Makedonsky
