  • Patent number: 11824879
    Abstract: A packet-filtering system configured to filter packets in accordance with packet-filtering rules may receive data indicating network-threat indicators and may configure the packet-filtering rules to cause the packet-filtering system to identify packets comprising unencrypted data, and packets comprising encrypted data. A portion of the unencrypted data may correspond to one or more of the network-threat indicators, and the packet-filtering rules may be configured to cause the packet-filtering system to determine, based on the portion of the unencrypted data, that the packets comprising encrypted data correspond to the one or more network-threat indicators.

  • Patent number: 11823680
    Abstract: Implementations relate to an automated assistant that can respond to communications received via a third party application and/or other third party communication modality. The automated assistant can determine that the user is participating in multiple different conversations via multiple different third party communication services. In some implementations, conversations can be processed to identify particular features of the conversations. When the automated assistant is invoked to provide input to a conversation, the automated assistant can compare the input to the identified conversation features in order to select the particular conversation that is most relevant to the input. In this way, the automated assistant can assist with any of multiple disparate conversations that are each occurring via a different third party application.

  • Patent number: 11824229
    Abstract: The present invention includes methods of manufacturing a metal infused graphitic material. Also described is how this device may be rendered impermeable. The present invention includes the electroplating/electroless deposition of metal on exposed internal and external surfaces of a porous graphitic substrate. The deposition of metal on the internal structure is accomplished by replacing the void space in the porous substrate with an electrolyte solution containing dissolved metallic species. The plating is initiated either through electrochemical means, electroless means, chemical vapor deposition means, or other means obvious to one familiar in the art of metal plating. A post-deposition bath is also described wherein the plating may be removed from one or both sides of the external surface without impacting the internal pore plating.

  • Patent number: 11823663
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed a system to detect activation phrases within input audio signals transmitted over a low-bandwidth network. The system can use a two-stage activation phrase detection process. First a sensing device, which can include a plurality of microphones for detecting an input audio signal, can detect an input audio signal that includes a candidate activation phrase. Second, the sensing device can transmit the recordings of the input audio signal to a client device for confirmation that the input audio signal includes the activation phrase.

  • Patent number: 11823058
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a set of training samples. During each of a plurality of training iterations, the method also includes sampling a batch of training samples from the set of training samples. The method includes, for each training sample in the batch of training samples, determining, using a data value estimator, a selection probability. The selection probability for the training sample is based on estimator parameter values of the data value estimator. The method also includes selecting, based on the selection probabilities of each training sample, a subset of training samples from the batch of training samples, and determining, using a predictor model with the subset of training samples, performance measurements. The method also includes adjusting model parameter values of the predictor model based on the performance measurements, and updating the estimator parameter values of the data value estimator based on the performance measurements.

  • Patent number: 11822086
    Abstract: A see-through illuminator for a reflective display panel provides a better image contrast when the illuminator is configured to direct a leakage light beam exiting the lightguide from a side opposing the display panel to propagate non-parallel to an image light formed by reflection of an illuminating light beam from the display panel. An objective lens may concentrate the image and leakage light beams at different locations, enabling a user's eye placed at a location of the image light beam to see the projected image without interference from the leakage light beam.
