  • Control of communication devices in a wireless network
    Patent number: 12160758
    Abstract: A device management resource detects an anomaly event associated with a first communication device based on analysis of first feedback from multiple network entities supporting conveyance of communications associated with the first communication device. The device management resource selects an operational state of the first communication device based on the detected anomaly event. The device management resource then notifies each of the network entities of the selected operational state of the first communication device. Each of the network entities collects and forwards different feedback data associated with the first communication device depending on the selected operational state of the first communication device.

    Patent number: 12159460
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a customized summary of virtual actions and events. Gameplay data sent over a communication network from a client device of the player engaged in a current activity of the respective interactive content title within a current gameplay session may be monitored. A trigger in the monitored gameplay data is detected and associated with a request for a summary that encapsulates actions and events of past gameplay associated with the trigger. A subset of the actions and events of the past gameplay for the summary is selected based on one or more selected customized tags associated with the trigger. The summary is generated based on the selected subset of the actions and events and provided to the client device for presentation.

  • Boat having an improved ability to get on plane and improved method of getting a boat on plane
    Patent number: 12157540
    Abstract: A boat includes at least three trim devices positioned aft of the boat's transom. To improve the boat's ability to get on place, each trim device is initially positioned to a deployed position. The speed of the boat is then determined as the boat gains speed. When the speed of the boat exceeds a first predetermined threshold, the first trim device is moved from the deployed position to a non-deployed position. When the speed of the boat exceeds a second predetermined threshold, the second trim device is moved from the deployed position to a non-deployed position. When the speed of the boat exceeds a third predetermined threshold, the third trim device is moved from the deployed position to a non-deployed position. At least one of the first, second, and third predetermined thresholds is different from the other two of the first, second, and third predetermined thresholds.

  • Vehicle interior cleaning apparatus
    Patent number: 12156629
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for use by hand and/or with a robotic device includes a nozzle that expels fluid, air or liquid, out of an open end of a housing of the cleaning apparatus. Simultaneously, a vacuum device is suctioning debris through the housing and into a vacuum port. The simultaneous use of suction and expelled fluid through a single apparatus generates turbulent airflow and effectively loosens and removes debris attached to surfaces without the need for the housing to contact the surfaces.

  • Flowspec gateway
    Patent number: 12160443
    Abstract: FlowSpec is a mechanism for distributing rules to routers in a network. Such rules may be used, for example, to drop traffic associated with a distributed denial of service attack. However, a malformed or incorrect FlowSpec announcement may, if distributed in the network, cause legitimate traffic to be dropped, degrading the service experienced by legitimate users. As such, systems and methods for avoiding the distribution of malformed FlowSpec announcements are provided.

  • Multi-pivot hinge for head mounted wearable device
    Patent number: 12158591
    Abstract: A head mounted wearable computing device includes a frame including arm portions rotatably coupled to a front frame portion, with electronic components housed in and/or on the front frame portion and the arm portions. Cables run through hinge mechanisms rotatably coupling the arm portions and the front frame portion for connection of electronic components in the arm portions and the front frame portion. The hinge mechanism includes a dual pivot structure that guides the bending of cables through the hinge mechanism through approximately 90 degrees of bending through two pivot points. The dual pivot structure reduces localized strain on the cable through the range of motion of the hinge mechanism. The dual pivot structure allows for a rotation through the range of motion with little to no extra cable length to accommodate the bending of the cable.

  • Injecting text in self-supervised speech pre-training
    Patent number: 12159617
    Abstract: A method includes receiving training data that includes unspoken text utterances and un-transcribed non-synthetic speech utterances. Each unspoken text utterance is not paired with any corresponding spoken utterance of non-synthetic speech. Each un-transcribed non-synthetic speech utterance is not paired with a corresponding transcription. The method also includes generating a corresponding synthetic speech representation for each unspoken textual utterance of the received training data using a text-to-speech model. The method also includes pre-training an audio encoder on the synthetic speech representations generated for the unspoken textual utterances and the un-transcribed non-synthetic speech utterances to teach the audio encoder to jointly learn shared speech and text representations.
