Publication number: 20230376699Abstract: This document describes methods and systems of on-device real-time translation for media content on a mobile electronic device. The translation is managed and executed by an operating system of the electronic device rather than within a particular application executing on the electronic device. The operating system can translate media content, including visual content displayed on a display device of the electronic device or audio content output by the electronic device. Because the translation is at the OS level, the translation can be implemented, automatically or based on a user input, across a variety of (including all) applications and a variety of content on the electronic device to provide a consistent translation experience, which is provided via a system UI overlay that displays translated text as captions to video content or as a replacement to on-screen text.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Brandon Charles Barbello, Shenaz Zack, Tim Wantland, Khondokar Sami Iqram, Nikola Radicevic, Prasad Modali, Jeffrey Robert Pitman, Svetoslav Ganov, Qi Ge, Jonathan D.

Publication number: 20230375327Abstract: A method for identifying three entangled photons includes generating a set of first, second, and third entangled photons correlated in time and interfering the first and second entangled photons based on a difference between a first optical path from an output of an optical source that generates the first entangled photon to a first optical input to an interferometric beam splitter and a second optical path from an output of the optical source that generates the second entangled photon to a second input of the interferometric beam splitter. A first electrical signal is generated in response to detection of a first photon generated by the interfering of the first and second entangled photons. A second electrical signal is generated in response to detection of a second photon generated by the interfering of the first and second entangled photons. A third electrical signal is generated in response to detection of the third entangled photon.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2022Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Qubit Moving and Storage, LLCInventors: Gary Vacon, Kristin A.

Publication number: 20230379042Abstract: Wireless communication is provided over an extended distance using a line or a series of drones traveling along a transmission path between a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends a data signal to a first drone that is within range of the transmitter. The first drone sends the data signal to an adjacent drone in the line of drones which retransmits the data signal to the next drone in line. The data signal is transmitted between drones until it reaches a final drone within range of the receiver. The final drone transmits the data signal to the receiver. As the drones travel along the transmission path, new drones are launched from a location within range of the transmitter to replace drones that land after transmitting a data signal to the receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2022Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Skywave Networks LLCInventor: Kevin J.
