Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for isolating at least one device, from multiple devices in an environment, for being responsive to assistant invocations (e.g., spoken assistant invocations). A process for isolating a device can be initialized in response to a single instance of a spoken utterance, of a user, that is detected by multiple devices. One or more of the multiple devices can be caused to query the user regarding identifying a device to be isolated for receiving subsequent commands. The user can identify the device to be isolated by, for example, describing a unique identifier for the device. Unique identifiers can be generated by each device of the multiple devices and/or by a remote server device. The unique identifiers can be presented graphically and/or audibly to the user, and user interface input. Any device that is not identified can become temporarily unresponsive to certain commands, such as spoken invocation commands.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media related to training and/or utilizing a neural network model to determine, based on a sequence of sources that each have an electronic interaction with a given electronic resource, one or more subsequent source(s) for interaction with the given electronic resource. For example, source representations of those sources can be sequentially applied (in an order that conforms to the sequence) as input to a trained recurrent neural network model, and output generated over the trained recurrent neural network model based on the applied input. The generated output can indicate, for each of a plurality of additional sources, a probability that the additional source will subsequently (e.g., next) interact with the given electronic resource. Such probabilities indicated by the output can be utilized in performance of further electronic action(s) related to the given electronic resource.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to voice activity detection (VAD) on wearable and other resource-constrained devices, to classify speech recorded by a microphone of the device as belonging to a wearer of the device versus another speech source. A computing device can include a microphone and an inertial measurement unit (IMU).

A device can pre-process data streamed from an IMU to use only signals predetermined to be indicative of whether or not a wearer of the device is speaking.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for handling radio resource control (RRC) cell group configuration. In implementations, a base station (120) receives a first radio resource control message that requests a connection procedure between a user equipment (110) and the base station (e.g., 325, 425, 1325), such as a radio resource control resume request or a radio resource setup request. In response to receiving the first radio resource control message, the base station (120) generates a second radio resource control message that includes a cell-group-configuration information element that excludes a reconfiguration-with-sync information element (e.g., 330, 430, 1330). The base station (120) then transmits the second radio resource control message to the user equipment (110) (e.g., 335, 435, 1345). Afterward, the base station (120) receives, from the user equipment (110), a third radio resource control message that indicates the connection procedure is complete (e.g., 340, 440, 1350).

Abstract: At least one aspect is directed to improving the performance of real-time verification of online identity. The issuer computing system can receive a request to generate a composite token, the composite token configured to authorize certain verifying parties to authenticate a first-party token comprising information about a client. The issuer can generate a composite token using cryptographic keys and distribute it to the client, who can distribute it to other content item networks. The verifying parties can receive the composite token from the content item networks, use a cryptographic key verify the authenticity of the token corresponding to the client device, and use the token to further process content item operations. The system can distribute the cryptographic keys prior to the generation and verification of the composite token, and as such allow the parties to verify the composite token in real-time without contacting outside verification parties.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for handling radio resource control (RRC) cell group configuration. In implementations, a base station receives a first radio resource control message that requests a connection procedure between a user equipment and the base station, such as a radio resource control resume request or a radio resource setup request. In response to receiving the first radio resource control message, the base station generates a second radio resource control message that includes a cell-group-configuration information element that excludes a reconfiguration-with-sync information element. The base station then transmits the second radio resource control message to the user equipment. Afterward, the base station receives, from the user equipment, a third radio resource control message that indicates the connection procedure is complete.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for handling mobility management state transitions after fallback to radio resource control (RRC) establishment. In implementations, a user equipment UE transmits an RRC request to a network to initiate an RRC connection procedure. Afterward, the UE receives an RRC setup message from the network. The UE communicates, by an RRC protocol layer at the UE, an indication of the fallback to a fifth-generation mobility-management (5GMM) protocol layer at the UE. The UE then transitions the 5GMM protocol layer to a 5GMM idle state. In implementations, the UE then communicates, by the RRC protocol layer, an RRC connection-established indication to the 5GMM protocol layer, and transitions the 5GMM protocol layer to a 5GMM connected state to enable data transmission and reception with the network.

The modular floodlight system includes a camera unit magnetically coupled to an accessory unit. The accessory unit includes passive infrared, PIR, sensors that expand and supplement motion-detection capabilities of the camera unit. For example, the accessory unit PIR sensor provides a PIR field of view, FOV, that is different than the PIR FOV of the camera unit's PIR sensor. Motion detected in either or both of the PIR FOVs is used to cause of change in functionality of the camera system such as, for example, activating image capture by the camera unit and/or activating one or more lights on the modular floodlight system.
