  • Cost determination of a service call
    Patent number: 10783002
    Abstract: Computing platforms may enable clients to use services to perform data processing jobs. A given job may utilize several services in a service call pattern. Each of these services consumes resources during execution. Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for determining costs associated with performance of a service call pattern. Weight data may be generated for each service using various metrics. As service calls are made in the service call pattern, an accumulated weight value is generated which is indicative of the weight data of the services in the service call pattern. The accumulated weight data may represent metrics such as amounts of resources consumed, latency, and transactions per second.

  • Remote invocation of code execution in a localized device coordinator
    Patent number: 10783016
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for implementing a coordinator within a coordinated environment, which environment includes set of coordinated devices managed by the coordinator. The coordinator can be provisioned with a set of tasks, each task corresponding to a segment of code that can be executed by the coordinator, such as to manage the coordinated devices. To assist in execution of the tasks, the coordinator can include a remote interface that enables retrieval of task calls from an external system, such as an external on-demand code execution environment. The remote interface may periodically retrieve calls from the external system, and generate corresponding call messages on the coordinator to cause executions of called tasks. The remote interface can further obtain outputs of such executions, and report those outputs to the external system.

  • Propeller safety for automated aerial vehicles
    Patent number: 10780988
    Abstract: An automated aerial vehicle (AAV) and system for automatically detecting a contact or an imminent contact between a propeller of the AAV and an object (e.g., human, pet, or other animal) are described. A safety profile for the AAV may be selected based on various factors including a position or configuration of the AAV. When a contact or an imminent contact is detected, the selected safety profile may be executed to reduce or avoid any potential harm to the object and/or the AAV. For example, if a contact with a propeller of the AAV by an object is detected, the rotation of the propeller may be stopped to avoid harming the object. Likewise, an object detection component may be used to detect an object that is nearing a propeller, stop the rotation of the propeller, and/or navigate the AAV away from the detected object.

  • Speech processing using contextual data
    Patent number: 10783876
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for shared execution caching of contextual data. A first request to retrieve a first value from a first field of a database may be received. First entity identifier data associated with the first request may be determined. A second request to retrieve the first value from the first field may be received, the second request being associated with second entity identifier data. A determination may be made that a first host device is associated with the first entity identifier data and the second entity identifier data. In some examples, a first executable instruction effective to retrieve the first value from the first field of the database when executed by the first host device may be generated. In some examples, the first value may be retrieved from the first field of the database and sent to the first speech processing component.
