Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for an end-to-end system for detecting and responding to known secrets leaked on a computing platform. By securely retrieving secret data from a repository of known secrets, the platform can detect whether potential secrets are leaked in digital documents generated by applications or services of the platform, and compare the potential secrets with known secrets in the repository. The system deterministically and accurately identifies whether secrets were leaked in a digital document, and can also identify both the source of the leakage and the affected users, devices, or groups of users and devices on the platform.

Abstract: This document describes asymmetric camera sensor positioning for enhanced package detection. In aspects, an electronic doorbell has an image sensor that is rotated to a portrait orientation and vertically shifted relative to a lens of a camera, resulting in asymmetric positioning of the image sensor relative to the lens. The lens projects an image circle onto the image sensor and the image sensor has a sensor detection area having upper corners within the image circle and lower corners outside of the image circle to enable capture of an object located in a lower portion of the image circle and proximate to an edge of the image circle. Then, lens distortion correction is performed on a captured image to provide a final image usable to detect the package, which may be located within the image circle but outside of a conventional sensor detection area.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can render selectable suggestion(s) at a display interface of computerized glasses, and can adapt the suggestions according to changes to a gaze direction of the user and/or other further inputs from the user. The selectable suggestion(s) can be initially rendered based on contextual data that may be associated with a user who is directing their gaze into an environment that includes different environmental features. Certain environmental features can be identified by the automated assistant as being predicted to be of interest to the user and—when a user expresses interest in a particular feature—the selectable suggestions can be adapted. Interest of the user in the particular environmental feature can be expressed by redirecting their gaze towards the particular feature and/or providing further input relevant to the particular feature.

Abstract: Game decisions are coordinated using a semantic natural language processing (NLP) machine learning (ML) algorithm, which is stored in a memory in some cases. In response to a game event, a processor records a text string that represents the game event in a text log that includes a sequence of text strings that represent game events that have transpired during a portion of the game. The processor also generates, using the semantic NLP ML algorithm, scores for labeled actions or content based on the text log and a curve that represents a target player experience as a function of progress through the game. The processor further serves one or more of the labeled actions or content that is selected based on the scores. The labeled actions or content are served to a display associated with the processor.

Abstract: The timing for displaying an overlay a video is optimized using a system that includes an engagement component that receives information regarding frames of a video at which respective users of a plurality of users stop engaging with the video and an analysis component that calculates user engagement scores for the frames based on the information, wherein the user engagement scores reflect a percentage of the plurality of users that stop engaging with the video at the respective frames, and wherein the higher the percentage the lower the user engagement score. The system further includes an identification component that identifies a subset of the frames associated with relatively lower user engagement scores in comparison to other frames of the video and an overlay component that configures an overlay for displaying over the video near at least one of the frames included in the subset.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for generating a route through a geographic area are provided. The disclosed technology can generate an unoccupied cell map. The unoccupied cell map can include cells that are associated with unoccupied portions of a geographic area that are not associated with light detection and ranging (LiDAR) returns.

Furthermore, the route can include the unoccupied cells between a starting location and one or more destination locations within the geographic area. Indications associated with the route can then be generated.

Based on the network identifier, location probabilities of device locations can be ranked and compared to thresholds. The system can determine a confidence threshold representing a minimum degree of certainty of the geographical location of the devices and can select content for protocol based transmission accordingly.

The system includes at least one emissive display element and at least one non-emissive display element. The display elements are arrayed in layers or other configurations such that content or other information is concurrently aligned across the respective display surfaces of the different elements.

Depending on characteristics or features of a given content item, that item may be rendered by one or both of the display elements. Certain content may be transitioned from the emissive display element to the non-emissive display element according to a time threshold or other criteria.

The second set of logic integrated circuitry may then place the SoC IC device into an undefined lifecycle state.
