  • Patent number: 11058834
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for use with a vaporizer that vaporizes at least one active ingredient of a plant material. In response to receiving a first input to the vaporizer, the plant material is heated, in a first heating step. An indication of the temperature of the plant material is detected, and, in response to detecting an indication that the temperature of the plant material is at a first temperature, the first heating step is terminated, by withholding causing further temperature increase of the plant material. The first temperature is less than 95 percent of the vaporization temperature of the active ingredient. Subsequently, a second input is received at the vaporizer. In response thereto, the plant material is heated to the vaporization temperature, in a second heating step. Other applications are also described.

  • Patent number: 11062706
    Abstract: Methods for speaker role determination and scrubbing identifying information are performed by systems and devices. In speaker role determination, data from an audio or text file is divided into respective portions related to speaking parties. Characteristics classifying the portions of the data for speaking party roles are identified in the portions to generate data sets from the portions corresponding to the speaking party roles and to assign speaking party roles for the data sets. For scrubbing identifying information in data, audio data for speaking parties is processed using speech recognition to generate a text-based representation. Text associated with identifying information is determined based on a set of key words/phrases, and a portion of the text-based representation that includes a part of the text is identified. A segment of audio data that corresponds to the identified portion is replaced with different audio data, and the portion is replaced with different text.

  • Patent number: 11064010
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking the download progress of a composite file. One system includes a notification server and a media server. The notification server provides a token to a user device that uniquely identifies a user session between a browser application and a cloud storage service. The media server receives the token from the browser application associated with a download request for a set of files, creates a composite file including the set of files, transmits the composite file to the user device, and, while transmitting the composite file, transmits progress information and the token to the notification server. The progress information includes a number of files in the composite file transmitted to the user device. The notification server receives the progress information and the token from the media server, determines the user session based on the token, and transmits the progress information to the user device.
