  • Patent number: 12259947
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to selectively relying on additional suggestion model(s) when generating selectable suggestions, while also maintaining access to a default suggestion model. The selectable suggestions can be generated using one or more additional multi-domain machine learning (ML) models, which can be optionally available to the client application, regardless of whether a default suggestion model remains useful for generating suitable suggestions. In some implementations, as the client application employs various additional multi-domain ML models, a particular model can be identified as improving suggestions for the client application, at least based on user feedback and/or other data. The particular model can then be selected to replace and/or supplement the default suggestion model, in order to provide more accurate suggestions that, when selected, initialize actions that can preserve time and computational resources.

  • Patent number: 12261803
    Abstract: Wireless resource determination and use are described. A wireless device may determine to use a resource (e.g., PUCCH resource), indicated by control information (e.g., DCI), for sending an acknowledgement (e.g., HARQ-ACK feedback) of a reception of data (e.g., at least one transport block). The control information may be received in a message of a plurality of messages. The wireless device may select the control information (e.g., for determining the resource) from among other control information in the plurality of messages, based on one or more factors.

  • Patent number: 12259992
    Abstract: Methods for centralized access control for cloud relational database management system resources are performed by systems and devices. The methods utilize a central policy storage, managed externally to database servers, which stores external policies for access to internal database resources at up to fine granularity. Database servers in the processing system each receive external access policies that correspond to users of the system by push or pull operations from the central policy storage, and store the external access policies in a cache of the database servers for databases. For resource access, access conditions are determined via policy engines of database servers based on an external access policy in the cache that corresponds to a user, responsive to a resource access request from a device of the user specifying the internal resource. Data associated with the resource is provided to the user based on the access condition being met.

  • Patent number: 12260576
    Abstract: A system for generating a depth output for an image is described. The system receives input images that depict the same scene, each input image including one or more potential objects. The system generates, for each input image, a respective background image and processes the background images to generate a camera motion output that characterizes the motion of the camera between the input images. For each potential object, the system generates a respective object motion output for the potential object based on the input images and the camera motion output. The system processes a particular input image of the input images using a depth prediction neural network (NN) to generate a depth output for the particular input image, and updates the current values of parameters of the depth prediction NN based on the particular depth output, the camera motion output, and the object motion outputs for the potential objects.

  • Patent number: 12256802
    Abstract: A shoe including an upper forming an interior portion for a foot, the interior portion including toe and heel cavities, is provided. The shoe includes a midsole having toe and heel ends and inner and outer sides. The midsole is affixed to the upper forming a bottom to the interior portion. An insole is affixed to the bottom. An outsole patch includes a toe portion disposed on the toe end of the midsole and a heel portion disposed on the heel end of the midsole. The outsole patch includes an exterior contour providing clearance between the midsole and ground when worn. A region between the heel and toe portions of the outsole patch extends from the inner to outer sides occupying a position intermediate the toe and heel ends of the midsole, permitting the shoe to fold about the region. The insole is not stitched to the upper or midsole.

  • Patent number: 12262045
    Abstract: Innovations in intra block copy (“BC”) prediction mode facilitate intra BC prediction that is more effective in terms of rate-distortion performance and/or computational efficiency of encoding and decoding. For example, some of the innovations provide ways to select block vector (“BV”) values more effectively. Other innovations provide ways to encode/decode BV values more efficiently. Still other innovations address how to perform in-loop deblock filtering when a block has intra BC prediction mode, or address how to perform intra BC prediction when constrained intra prediction is enabled.
