  • Publication number: 20230349835
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for synthesizing a diamond using a diamond synthesis machine. A processor receives a plurality of images of a diamond during synthesis within a diamond synthesis machine, each of the plurality of images captured within a time period. The processor executes a diamond state prediction machine learning model using the plurality of images to obtain a predicted data object, the predicted data object indicating a predicted state of the diamond within the diamond synthesis machine at a time subsequent to the time period. The processor detects a predicted defect, a number of defects, defect types, and/or sub-features of such defects and/or other characteristics (e.g., a predicted shape, size, and/or other properties of predicted contours for the diamond and/or pocket holder) of the predicted state of the diamond. The processor adjusts operation of the diamond synthesis machine.

  • Publication number: 20230024808
    Abstract: A context-driven voice-control system and method for enabling users to control customer service activities related to live broadcast programming, recorded programming, streaming programming, and on-demand programming using vocal selection by the user. The context-driven voice-control system and method may also enable users to control one or more of account management activities using vocal selection by the user, authentication to authorize changes to their account using vocal selection by the user, and troubleshooting of equipment and system capabilities using vocal selection by the user. The context-driven voice-control system and method dynamically generates and presents a list of available control and support pathways to a user based on the user attributes and the voice control requests.
