Patent number: 11996607Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include headphone devices with spatially diverse antennas employing multiple operational modes and antenna switching policies. The headphone device may identify a current mode of operation and wirelessly communicate with at least one external device based at least in part on the current mode of operation. Further, operating in a first mode of operation, the headphone device may cause switching circuitry to selectively couple a first antenna to the common port in accordance with a first antenna switching policy. While operating in the second mode of operation, the headphone device may cause circuitry to selectively couple a second antenna to the common port in accordance with a second antenna switching policy that is different from the first antenna switching policy.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Sonos, Inc.Inventors: Niels van Erven, Kasra Payandehjoo, Michael Frey, Anthony Maglio, Ron Roberts

Patent number: 11995206Abstract: A breach detection engine detects and mitigates the effects of breaches across one or more data sources. An index is generated based on one or more data sources and the index is queried using keywords indicative of potential breaches. A database of potential breaches is populated based on the query of the index. The potential breach database is queried using keywords associated with a system identity (e.g., a third party). A likelihood of a candidate breach is identified based on a set of breach criteria weights. A network node associated with a candidate breach determined to be an actual breach is identified for isolation or for the performance of one or more additional security actions.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: UPGUARD, INC.Inventors: Alan James Sharp-Paul, Christopher Robert Vickery, Jonathan David Hendren, Gregory Ford Pollock, Daniel Bradbury, Christian Alan Kiely, Gavin Richard Turner, Michael Franz Baukes

Patent number: 11992622Abstract: A humidification system for delivering humidified gases to a user can include a heater base, humidification chamber having an inlet, outlet, and associated fluid conduit, and breathing circuit including a supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit. The humidification system can include various features to help make set-up less difficult and time-consuming. For example, the supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit can be coupled into a one-piece circuit to aid set-up. Various components can be color-coded and can have corresponding structures to indicate which components should be connected to one another during set-up. Such features can also help make the set-up process more intuitive for an operator, which can reduce the need for specialized training and reduce the number of potential errors.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2020Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Sally Margaret Hensman, David Robert Kemps, Simon Mordechai Stam, Jason Allan Klenner, Andrew Paul Maxwell Salmon, Mark Samuel Hamilton, James William Stanton, Michael John Andresen, Jonathan Andrew George Lambert, Nicholas Edward Vaughan

Patent number: 11989261Abstract: A computer answers a question using a data table. The computer receives a user question and a target table containing a target cell corresponding to a target answer for the user question, with the target cell corresponding to a target column and a target row. The computer generates, a first classifier to provide column correlation values reflecting the probability that a given column is the target column. The computer generates a second classifier that provides row correlation values reflecting the probability that a given row is the target row. The computer applies the first classifier to the target table to determine a column correlation value for each column. The computer applies the second classifier to the target table to determine a row correlation value for each row. The computer suggests, as the target cell, a cell having elevated column and row correlation values relative to other target table cells.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mustafa Canim, Michael Robert Glass, Alfio Massimiliano Gliozzo, Nicolas Rodolfo Fauceglia

Publication number: 20240154435Abstract: An indexed sequence of bits in a buffer is allocated for tracking a battery charging state. The indexed sequence of bits has a first number of bits. A battery voltage of a rechargeable battery is sampled at a sampling rate. For each sampled battery voltage, the battery voltage is compared with a voltage threshold. A next bit position in the indexed sequence of bits is identified. In accordance with a determination that a comparison result is true, a predefined first value is added to the next bit position. A second number of bits that are filled with the predefined first value is determined. A ratio between the second number and the first number is also determined. In accordance with a determination that the ratio exceeds a threshold step-down ratio, a battery charge voltage is stepped down. The rechargeable battery is charged to a step-down voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Michael Jonathon Chen, William Alan Saperstein, James Robert Lim, David Wang
