  • Publication number: 20250252950
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating speech from a source voice of a speaker in a language for a speech device connected to the computer, where the speech device language is a non-native language of the speaker. The method includes inputting speech in the source voice, encoding the speech in the source voice into a content vector, retrieving top k similar content vectors from a vector representation database that substantially match phonetic patterns of the encoded source voice, generating a new voice waveform based on the similar content vectors that contains linguistic content of the source voice, but with the phonetic patterns of a native speaker's voice of the speech device language, and outputting the new voice waveform.

  • Publication number: 20250118085
    Abstract: A system for detection of a vehicle that blocks an ambulance while the ambulance is responding to an emergency call. The system includes a camera mounted on the ambulance that captures images or video of the surrounding area. A processor, such as an edge computing device with a graphical processing unit (GPU), analyzes the captured data to identify vehicles obstructing the ambulance's path. The system can identify both a leading violating vehicle that directly blocks the ambulance and a primary violating vehicle further ahead that may be causing the obstruction. The system also includes a communication unit to transmit data to a web-based portal or a cloud-based AI engine for further analysis and action.

  • Publication number: 20250109986
    Abstract: A light intensity monitoring system, a light intensity monitor and a method for monitoring light intensity the light intensity monitor attached to a vehicle roof. The light intensity monitor includes light sensors which measure light intensity at a top wall and two sidewalls and records the location of the vehicle at precise time intervals using a global positioning sensor. A microcontroller within the monitor compiles the measured data into communications packets, which include light intensity measurements and the corresponding vehicle location for each measurement period. These packets are then wirelessly transmitted to a remote computing device using either a wireless network communications unit or a dual-mode near-field communications unit. The remote device receives the data and utilizes a mapping application to display the various light intensity levels, expressed in lux, with the location of the measurement.

  • Patent number: 12149635
    Abstract: Provided is a method and/or system that facilitates offline sharing and verifying digital identity claims among NFC enabled portable smart devices that are enabled by enabling applications. The enabled portable smart-devices store, verify and share identity, peer to peer and offline. Each identity claim is digitally signed by an identity issuing authority, and the claim can be verified to reliably detect tampering of the claim and thus brings trust in the process of claim sharing and verifying the identity/credentials embodied in the claim. Either Blockchain or non-blockchain, as the backend system of the method/system, can be used, via an inter-operable middleware layer, for onboarding claim holders, claim verifiers, and claim issuers, and for creating/issuing, for managing digital identity claims. NFC, as the communication protocol, facilitates secure data sharing among the NFC-enabled devices.

  • Patent number: 12130790
    Abstract: A system and method includes a textual document search engine. The method initializes the textual document search engine by inputting, into a memory, a very large number of documents, where each document has textual sentences, and each sentence of each document has m semantic embedding vectors. The method maps the m semantic embedding vectors to 1-dimensional vectors of Hilbert numbers using a Hilbert curve transformation, constructs an index table with the 1-dimensional vectors, and stores the index table in the memory. The index table is used for efficient search by inputting a full query document, which has embedding vectors corresponding to sentences in the query document, where the query embedding vectors are mapped into 1-dimensional vectors of Hilbert numbers using Hilbert curve transformation. The index table is searched using the Hilbert numbers and candidate documents are retrieved that are similar to the query document based on the Hilbert numbers.

  • Patent number: 11928847
    Abstract: Provided are computer-implemented technologies of authenticating documents. The technologies use a set of photo images (or videos), taken under a certain illumination condition and from a set of distinct tilting angles, on one or more security/ID features of one or more documents of a document genre whose authenticity is ascertained, to train an Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine learning program to build a learned model. The learned model, through the said training, attains a set of angular responses of the document genre under the illumination condition which encode a set of descriptive information about each of the one or more security/ID features of the document genre under the illumination condition. The learned model, then, is applied to authenticate, one by one, a number of target documents of the document genre whose authenticity is unknown and to be determined.
