Publication number: 20200334527Abstract: According to some embodiments, a universal modeling system may include a plurality of domain expert models to each receive raw input data (e.g., a stream of audio frames containing speech utterances) and provide a domain expert output based on the raw input data. A neural mixture component may then generate a weight corresponding to each domain expert model based on information created by the plurality of domain expert models (e.g., hidden features and/or row convolution). The weights might be associated with, for example, constrained scalar numbers, unconstrained scaler numbers, vectors, matrices, etc. An output layer may provide a universal modeling system output (e.g., an automatic speech recognition result) based on each domain expert output after being multiplied by the corresponding weight for that domain expert model.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2019Publication date: October 22, 2020Inventors: Amit DAS, Jinyu LI, Changliang LIU, Yifan GONG

Patent number: 10528147Abstract: An ultrasonic gesture recognition system is provided that recognizes gestures based on analysis of return signals of an ultrasonic pulse that is reflected from a gesture. The system transmits an ultrasonic chirp and samples a microphone array at sample intervals to collect a return signal for each microphone. The system then applies a beamforming technique to frequency domain representations of the return signals to generate an acoustic image with a beamformed return signal for multiple directions. The system then generates a feature image from the acoustic images to identify, for example, distance or depth from the microphone array to the gesture for each direction. The system then submits the feature image to a deep learning system to classify the gesture.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ivan Jelev Tashev, Shuayb Zarar, Amit Das

Patent number: 10523425Abstract: Systems and methods for changing database passwords are described. A first server computing system receives an indication to perform a password change process for an administrative account of an associated database. The server generates a vault configured to store a password change status and a password secret associated with the account. The server sets the password change status to a first value to indicate that the server is performing the password change process and then performs the password change process for the account. The server then sets the password change status to a second value to enable a second server computing system to perform a second password change process for a second administrative account of a database associated with the second server system. The database associated with the second server computing system is a standby database of the database associated with the first server system.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Raghavendran Hanumantharau, Yoram Tal, Amit Das, Edward F.

Patent number: 10450445Abstract: The invention relates to the field of chemistry and to the blends that can by way of example be used for rolls and roll coverings in the printing, textile, paper and graphic industry. The problem addressed by the present invention is provision of blends that have improved physical properties, and of a simple low-cost process with low energy consumption for producing same. The problem is solved via blends of thermoplastic polyurethanes and rubbers, consisting of rubber and from 5 to 80% by weight of thermoplastic polyurethanes, where the materials intermesh with one another in the regions of contact between rubber and polyurethanes. The problem is further solved via a process in which at least one rubber and from 5 to 80% by weight of polyurethane precursors are mixed and homogenized, where the precursors are prepolymers made of polyisocyanate(s) and of macroglyeol(s) and at least one chain extender, and/or monomers of polyisocyanates, of macroglycols and of chain extenders.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: LEIBNIZ-INSTITUT FUER POLYMERFORSCHUNG DRESDEN E.V.Inventors: Muhammad Tahir, Nasir Mahmood, Klaus Stoeckelhuber, Gert Heinrich, Amit Das, Rene Jurk
