Patent number: 11838448Abstract: Methods and systems for audio-based polling during a conference call discussion are provided. During a conference call, a user selection of an element on a client device is detected. The element is designated to initiate audio-based polling of participants of the conference call. In response to the detection of the user selection of the element on the client device, a verbal statement provided by a first participant of the conference call is recorded. A determination is made of whether the recorded verbal statement includes a question that is to be used for audio-based polling of one or more second participants of the conference call. Responsive to a determination that the verbal statement includes the question that is to be used for audio-based polling, audio-based polling of the one or more second participants is initiated.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Emily Burd, Akshat Sharma

Patent number: 11805159Abstract: Methods and systems for verbal polling during a conference call discussion are provided. A graphical user interface (UI) is provided to participants of a video conference call. The UI enables one of the participants to verbally provide a question for polling of one or more additional participants of the participants. An indication that a first participant is to provide a verbal question is received via the UI. The verbal question provided by the first participant is recorded. An indication that the first participant has finished providing the verbal question is received via the UI. A determination is made that the verbal question is to be used for polling of second participants of the video conference call. A textual form of the verbal question is provided to the one or more second participants of the video conference call in the UI.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Emily Burd, Akshat Sharma

Patent number: 11755181Abstract: Systems and methods for populating answers to polling questions based on initial responses. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided to a set of participants of a conference call. The GUI includes a first portion that presents a polling question to be answered by the set of participants. A detecting is made that a first participant of the set of participants has provided a verbal answer to the polling question. The GUI provided to a second participant of the set of participants is modified to present, in a second portion, a textual form of the verbal answer provided by the first participant and a GUI element that allows the second participant to provide a non-verbal answer to the polling question via selection of the GUI element associated with the verbal answer provided by the first participant.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Emily Burd, Akshat Sharma

Publication number: 20210406292Abstract: Systems and methods for recognizing polling questions from a conference call discussion are provided. One or more text strings including a textual form of one or more verbal phrases provided by one or more participants of a conference call are identified. The one or more text strings are provided as input to a trained machine learning model. One or more outputs from the trained machine learning model are obtained. A level of confidence that a verbal phrase of the one or more verbal phrase provided by the one or more participants includes a question associated with polling during the conference call is extracted from the one or more outputs. In response to a determination that the level of confidence satisfies a confidence criterion, the verbal phrase is designated as a polling question presented during the conference call.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Emily Burd, Akshat Sharma

Patent number: 10514290Abstract: A capacitance measuring apparatus and method detects gas/liquid and liquid/gas transitions by monitoring a sensing capacitor having a gap in fluid communication with a monitored volume. The capacitor electrodes can be any arrangement that does not obstruct drainage, such as parallel plates or concentric cylinders. Embodiments have smooth and/or low wetting surfaces. Detection thresholds are automatically set to account for remnant drops and coatings of liquid, and can be automatically readjusted if additional liquid drains or a different liquid is introduced. Embodiments include an insulating layer to prevent conduction through a conductive liquid. A second capacitor can be included in series and/or the insulating layer can create a second virtual capacitor in series with the sensing capacitor gap to provide high sensitivity at low capacitance. The sensing capacitor can be combined in a cluster with a pressure sensor and/or temperature sensor.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Flowserve Management CompanyInventors: Akshat Sharma, Peter Charles Cornwell, Ruihua Xie
