Abstract: A current set of context features for a database query that is associated with a string is identified. The database query includes a sequence of tokens of a database syntax, and the current set of context features includes words from the string and tokens from the database query. An inference record is selected from an inference store based on a comparison of the current set of context features to context features of inference records in the inference store. The database query is modified using a resolution of the inference record to obtain an inferred database query. The resolution includes one or more tokens of the database syntax. A search of a database is invoked using a query based on the inferred database query to obtain search results.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to determining how an automated assistant should respond to a given spoken utterance received in a vehicular environment to enforce consistency between value(s) and/or unit(s) that are displayed at a given display device of an in-vehicle computing device and value(s) and/or unit(s) that are utilized in executing a given vehicular command or that are provided for presentation to a user in response to a given vehicular request. For example, implementations can receive the given spoken utterance, identify the given vehicular command/request based on processing the given spoken utterance, and determine an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) query based on the given vehicular command/request included in the spoken utterance, and transmit the OEM query to a given OEM component. Further, implementations can determine how the automated assistant should respond to the given spoken utterance based on responsive content that is received from the given OEM component.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to determining how to fulfill a spoken utterance based on a user that provided the spoken utterance. For example, implementations can receive a spoken utterance from a user, determine a set of fulfillment actions for the spoken utterance, and determine whether the user that provided the spoken utterance corresponds to a first user or a second user. Further, and in response to determining that the user corresponds to the first user, implementations can select a subset of first fulfillment action(s) from the set, and cause the subset of first fulfillment action(s) to be implemented to satisfy the spoken utterance. Moreover, and in response to determining that the user corresponds to the second user, implementations can select a subset of distinct, second fulfillment action(s) from the set, and cause the subset of second fulfillment action(s) to be implemented to satisfy the spoken utterance.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to various techniques for biasing interpretations of spoken utterances that are received in a vehicular environment. For example, implementations can receive a spoken utterance that includes a query from a user of a vehicle and obtain a corresponding vehicle sensor data instance generated by vehicle sensor(s) of the vehicle. Some implementations can determine to execute a search over only a first corpus of data, but not a second corpus of data, to obtain a given response to the query based on various criteria, including at least the query, the corresponding vehicle sensor data instance, a corresponding timestamp associated with the corresponding vehicle sensor data instance, and/or a corresponding duration of time the user has been associated with the vehicle. Additional, or alternative, implementations can execute a search over both the first and second corpora of data, and obtain the given response based on the criteria.

Abstract: Methods and systems for efficient query rewriting and the like are described here. One such described method comprises: offline mapping frequently-seen search queries to rewritten queries that may be better for searching; offline caching the mapping in a cache memory; and upon receiving a search query from a user similar to one of the mapped search queries, obtaining a corresponding rewritten query from the mapping in the cache memory based on predetermined conditions, and issuing a search of the rewritten query to the backend data system in order to avoid having to issue a search query to the backend data system twice while the user is online.

Abstract: A stopword detection component detects stopwords (also stop-phrases) in search queries input to keyword-based information retrieval systems. Potential stopwords are initially identified by comparing the terms in the search query to a list of known stopwords. Context data is then retrieved based on the search query and the identified stopwords. In one implementation, the context data includes documents retrieved from a document index. In another implementation, the context data includes categories relevant to the search query. Sets of retrieved context data are compared to one another to determine if they are substantially similar. If the sets of context data are substantially similar, this fact may be used to infer that the removal of the potential stopword(s) is not material to the search. If the sets of context data are not substantially similar, the potential stopword can be considered material to the search and should not be removed from the query.

Abstract: An apparatus for viewing of a three dimensional image of a scene, including a monocular device worn by a viewer for displaying a first two-dimensional image to one eye of the viewer, The monocular device being arranged so it can be worn on either eye of the viewer. A second display for displaying a second two-dimensional image of the scene in a stereo image pair which is viewed by the other eye of the viewer. A way of selecting the first two-dimensional image with either a left or right perspective relative to the second two-dimensional image dependent upon which eye the viewer uses with the monocular device.

Abstract: The present invention discloses several methods to strengthen the integrity of entities, messages, and processing related to content distribution as defined by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Digital Rights Management (DRM). The methods use techniques related to the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) specifications. A first embodiment uses TCG techniques to verify platform and DRM software integrity or trustworthiness, both with and without modifications to the DRM rights object acquisition protocol (ROAP) and DRM content format specifications. A second embodiment uses TCG techniques to strengthen the integrity of ROAP messages, constituent information, and processing without changing the existing ROAP protocol. A third embodiment uses TCG techniques to strengthen the integrity of the ROAP messages, information, and processing with some changes to the existing ROAP protocol.

Abstract: A print media moving apparatus includes a vacuum assembly positioned immediately upstream relative to a roller. The vacuum assembly has an arcuate surface including three sections with the second section located between the first and third sections. The arcuate surface includes an extremum in the second section. The roller, having a diameter and rotational axis, includes three sections with the second section located between the first and third section as viewed along the rotational axis. The diameter of the roller in the first and third sections is greater than in the second section. The three sections of the vacuum assembly correspond to the three sections of the roller such that the contour of the arcuate surface causes the print media, after leaving the vacuum assembly, to contact the first and third sections of the roller prior to contacting the second section of the roller.

Abstract: A method for moving print media includes providing a vacuum assembly having an arcuate profile to deflect the print media such that the print media has a non-linear profile in a direction perpendicular to a media travel path. A roller, having an axis of rotation and a diameter, and including three sections with the second section located between the first and third section as viewed along the rotational axis is provided. The diameter of the roller in the first and third sections is greater than in the second section. The roller is used to deflect the web of print media in a direction opposite to that of the deflection of the web of print media by the vacuum assembly, thereby spreading the web of print media in a cross-track direction to reduce the formation of wrinkles in the web of print media as it travels over the roller.
