Abstract: Coordinating processing of audio queries is provided. A system receives a query. The system provides the query to a first digital assistant component and a second digital assistant component for processing. The system receives a first response to the query from the first digital assistant component, and a second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The first digital assistant component can be authorized to access a database the second digital assistant component is prohibited from accessing. The system determines, based on a ranking decision function, to select the second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The system provides, responsive to the selection, the second response from the second digital assistant to a computing device.

Abstract: A three dimensional magnetic sensor attached to a surgical nail is located based on an applied monotonic magnetic field gradient. Another three dimensional magnetic sensor locates a surgical drill. A display generates a real time image of the relative alignment of the surgical drill and of the surgical nail, allowing a surgeon to repair bone fractures.

Abstract: A long-lasting, wireless, biocompatible pressure sensor device is integrated within a hydrocephalus shunt, either within the shunt's reservoir/anchor or as an inline or pigtailed connector. When integrated within a typical reservoir, the device can sit within the reservoir's hollow frustum area covered by the resilient silicone dome of the reservoir. When integrated as an inline connector, the device can sit at any point on the peritoneal catheter or ventricular catheter, including between the VP shut's valve and reservoir. The pressure sensor device includes electronics that can be powered wirelessly by a reader held to a patient's scalp, and so no battery may be required. The reader can transmit an ambient, atmospheric pressure reading from outside the skull to the implanted device so that its electronics can calculate a calibrated gauge pressure internally and then relay it to a patient's smart phone.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for using an automated assessment and evaluation of machine translations. A system may receive a request associated with translating first content from a first language to a second language. The system may translate the first content from the first language to the second language. The system may determine an attribute associated with the first content. The system may determine a translation score associated with second content translated from the first language to the second language and associated with the attribute, the translation score indicative of a machine translation accuracy. The system may determine, and based on the translation score, a translation protocol, and may execute the translation protocol.

Abstract: A technique for automatically determining new font sizes includes receiving information indicating a layout change for a document. The document includes a text frame that includes text content in a first font size. The text content covers a particular percentage of the text frame, and the layout change causes a change in the size of the text frame to a resized text frame. The technique includes determining a second font size for the text content in the resized text frame. A percentage of the resized text frame covered by the text content in the second font size is substantially similar to the particular percentage of the document. The method includes resizing the size of the text content from the first font size to the second font size and outputting a document with the resized text frame with the text content in the second font size.

Abstract: As part of generating a digital catalog, a creative professional interacts with digital content via a user interface to specify an arrangement of the digital content in relation to each other. This is used by a digital layout creation system to generate a layout block that is to serve as a basis for digital catalog entries in the digital catalog. As part of arranging the digital content, the digital layout creation system generates metadata automatically and without user intervention in real time that specifies the arrangement of the digital content and what digital content is associated as part of that arrangement. Once a desired arrangement is achieved by the creative professional, an input is received by the digital layout creation system to create a layout block that is used as a basis to generate digital catalog entries of a digital catalog.

Abstract: A miniature, low power electronic pressure sensor with a first, oil-filled chamber to protect its microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensitive membrane and a second chamber filled with saline or body fluids connected by tube into an organ in the body, such as an eyeball, that needs pressure sensing, is described. The tube carries pressure from a sensitive area within the organ to the electronic pressure sensor. The pressure sensor may communicate wirelessly with external readers and pass data to a server or other computer. Running alongside the tube is another tube for draining and pressure relief. The tubes, or cannulas, can share an opening into the organ in order to minimize the number of holes needed. The tubes may be molded into a single oval cross section, combined coaxially, or share a lumen for a portion that enters the wall of an organ so as to promote healing.

Abstract: Digital annotation and digital content linking techniques implemented by digital content generation system as part of a computing device are described. The system is configured to convert a digital document including an object from a first format to a second format, receiving the digital document in the second format with an annotation associated with the object, converting the digital document in the second format with the annotation associated with the object to the first format, and maintaining the association between the annotation and the object subsequent to an alteration in a page sequence of the document in the first format, or movement of the object.

Abstract: In one or more implementations, a digital medium environment includes at least one computing device. Systems and techniques are described herein for inserting linked text fragments in a document layout of a document. By supporting multiple linked text fragments within a text frame, of both constant content and variable content, content of an asset is inserted into a text fragment while preserving the styling attributes of the text frame. Thus, manual efforts associated with reapplying styling attributes are avoided, unlike systems that do not distinguish between text fragments with constant content and text fragments with variable content within a text frame. Furthermore, a user interface is generated that exposes metadata of assets and a document layout. Content of an asset exposed via the user interface, once selected, is inserted into the document layout and exposed as a tagged text fragment, indicating the content is linked.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for checkout line processing based on merchant employee familiarity with communication device processes. A user may visit a merchant location and utilize a device payment application of a mobile device for a payment during transaction processing. The merchant's device may determine which merchant employees are most familiar with processing payments using the application, and direct the user to those merchant employees. Where the user has already select one of the merchant employees, but the merchant employee is unfamiliar with the application, the merchant's device may load payment processing instructions, walkthroughs, and interactive interfaces to assist in payment processing. Moreover, based on the merchant employee's familiarity with other payment instruments, the merchant's device may suggest another payment instrument for the user to use during payment processing.

Abstract: An ASIC for monitoring wideband GHz spectrum to sense respective frequency components present in the spectrum. The ASIC implements Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) techniques to facilitate identification of one or more frequency components of a sparse signal after the signal is sub-sampled at a rate below the Nyquist criterion. The ASIC computes a first Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of a first sub-sampled set of samples of a time-varying signal representing the monitored spectrum and sampled at a first sampling rate, and further computes a second FFT of a second sub-sampled set of samples of the time-varying signal sampled at a second sampling rate different from the first sampling rate. In one example, each of the first FFT and the second FFT is a low-radix FFT to facilitate a low-power and low-cost ASIC implementation of wideband spectrum sensing.
