  • Patent number: 12242816
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing predicted task-actions for tasks from a plurality of task applications associated with a task management system. In operation, a task associated with a task application is accessed at a task-action prediction engine. An intent of the task is determined. The intent of the task is determined based on task features and an intent prediction machine learning model that is trained to predict intents associated with natural language text. Based on the intent of the task, a predicted task-action is selected based on a task-action computation model that is associated with predefined task-actions and predefined intent-task-categories. The predicted task-action can be communicated to a task management client that causes display of the predicted task-action in combination with a predicted task-action interface element associated with executing the predicted task-action.

  • Patent number: 12241777
    Abstract: A method for profiling a laser beam includes receiving the laser beam at a thermochromic interface of a detector. A temperature set point for the detector can be selected. The temperature set point can correspond to an equilibrium temperature at the thermochromic interface. The method can also include capturing an image of the thermochromic interface and using the image to determine a partial intensity profile corresponding to at least a portion of the beam intensity profile. A reconstructed beam profile can be assembled using the partial intensity profile. If the reconstructed beam profile is not complete, the method can include iterating over additional temperature set points to determine additional partial intensity profiles. The method can also include determining that the reconstructed beam profile is complete and outputting the reconstructed beam profile.

  • Patent number: 12242672
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure can trigger an action based on a motion detected by an artificial reality (XR) device, such as a head-mounted display (HMD). The XR device can display an XR experience to a user. While displaying the XR experience, the XR device can detect a physical interaction with the XR device using one of more sensors (e.g., sensors of an inertial measurement unit (IMU)). The physical interaction can generate a movement profile captured by the one or more sensors. The XR device can identify the physical interaction as a particular motion (e.g., one or more taps on the XR device) by applying a machine learning model to the movement profile. In response to identifying the particular motion, the XR device can trigger an action on the XR device (e.g., activating pass-through on the XR device).

  • Patent number: 12243328
    Abstract: A road sign interpretation system includes a front-facing camera mounted on or in a vehicle collecting image data of multiple road signs. A first convolutional neural network (CNN) receives the image data from the front-facing camera and yields a set of sign predictions including one or more sign text instances. A second CNN defining a text extractor receives the image data from the front-facing camera and extracts text candidates including the multiple sign text instances. Sign and sign data localization is provided in the second CNN to compute a text order from the multiple sign text instances. A sign text synthesizer module receives individual sign text instances from the first CNN and individual ones of the sign text instances in digitized forms from an optical character recognizer (OCR). A semantic encoding and interpretation module receives the sign text instances and identifies semantics of the multiple road signs.
