  • System and process for scalable and secure content delivery
    Patent number: 10803025
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, segmenting a file to obtain a set of segments, wherein the file can be regenerated according to a recombination of the set of segments. At least some segments are transported to a targeted group of users including a first group of users and a second group of users, via unlicensed frequency spectrum and according to a peer-to-peer file sharing process. A segmentation record identifying the set of segments is provided to the targeted group of users. A progress of a delivery of the set of segments is monitored according to the segmentation record. The progress of the delivery is analyzed to identify a deficiency in delivery of a particular segment of the set of segments. Responsive to the deficiency, the particular segment is provided to the first group of users via a licensed frequency spectrum. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Ducted fuel injection
    Patent number: 10801395
    Abstract: Various technologies presented herein relate to heating a fuel and enhancing fuel and charge-gas mixing inside a combustion chamber to enable minimal, or no, generation of soot and/or other undesired emissions during ignition and subsequent combustion of the locally premixed mixtures. To enable sufficient mixing of the fuel and charge-gas, a jet of fuel can be directed to pass through a bore of a duct causing charge-gas to be drawn into the bore creating turbulence to mix the fuel and the drawn charge-gas. The duct can be heated to provision heating of the fuel and charge-gas mixture. The duct can be located proximate to an opening in a tip of a fuel injector. An ignition assist component can be located downstream of the duct to facilitate ignition of the fuel/charge-gas mixture.

  • Pipeline deep crack detection
    Patent number: 10801837
    Abstract: A pipeline inspection system includes a pipeline pig having a controller and a plurality of ultrasonic transducer elements situated in an array. Each of the plurality of ultrasonic transducer elements emits an ultrasonic signal into a wall of a pipeline and receives echoes of the ultrasonic signal from the pipeline wall. The controller selects a first subset of the plurality of ultrasonic transducer elements from which to emit the ultrasonic signals into the wall of the pipeline as the pipeline pig passes through the pipeline, analyzes the echoes of the ultrasonic signals received by the plurality of ultrasonic transducer elements to detect a feature in the pipeline wall, and selects a second subset of the plurality of ultrasonic transducer elements to emit the ultrasonic signals into the wall of the pipeline as the pipeline pig passes through the pipeline when the feature is detected in the pipeline wall.

  • Determining Input Data for Speech Processing
    Publication number: 20200320982
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to the determination of data that is indicative of a greater range of speech properties than input text data. The determined data may be used as input to one or more speech processing tasks, such as model training, model validation, model testing, or classification. For example, after a model is trained based on the determined data, the model's performance may exhibit more resilience to a wider range of speech properties. The determined data may include one or more modified versions of the input text data. The one or more modified versions may be associated with the one or more speakers or accents and/or may be associated with one or more levels of semantic similarity in relation to the input text data. The one or more modified versions may be determined based on one or more machine learning algorithms.
