Abstract: Techniques for transitioning a panelist client device from a webinar backstage to a webinar mainstage are provided. In an example method, a computer system generates a webinar for hosting a number of attendee client devices and one or more panelist client devices, the webinar including a webinar mainstage and a webinar backstage. The computer system joins the one or more panelist client devices to the webinar backstage of the webinar. The computer system joins the attendee client devices to the webinar mainstage of the webinar. The computer system receives, from a first panelist client device, a presentation indication. The computer system then associates the first panelist client device with the webinar mainstage.

Abstract: A device and method for estimating the frequency difference between antennas having asynchronized local oscillator references includes a frequency meter configured for connection with radio frequency signals from two antennas and configured to output a measured frequency difference between baseband filtered signals of two antennas. The frequency meter includes a phase meter, a quadrant transition, and a frequency meter counter. The phase meter receives in-phase and quadrature pairs of filtered signals and output a phase difference between the pairs. The quadrant transition state machine receives the phase difference, detects a quadrant associated with the phase difference, and detects a change between the detected quadrant and a previously detected quadrant. The frequency meter counter then accumulates the quadrant transitions and direction over a desired interval to establish a measure of the frequency difference between the two radio frequency signals input into phase meter.

The drill-out bit is operable to drill through the casing drill bit.

Abstract: A health condition or change in health condition of a person may be determined by processing the person's speech with a neural network. Speech from more than one time period may be processed and, in some implementations, speech from a time period may be associated with a health condition label. For each time period, a feature vector may be computed from the speech and the feature vector may be processed with a neural network to obtain a speech embedding vector. In some implementations, feature vector may include word-piece encodings and the neural network may be a transformer neural network. The speech embedding vectors may be processed with a mathematical model to determine a change in a health condition between two time periods or to determine a health condition label for a specific time period. In some implementations, the mathematical model may be a regression model or a fully-connected neural network.

Abstract: An integrated window for a photosensor for use in an electronic device has first and second transparent regions separated by an opaque region. The first transparent region allows a transmitter to emit light out of the housing of the electronic device and the second transparent region allows a receiver to receive light through the housing. The opaque region is disposed between the first and second transparent regions to isolate them from one another such that the transmitted light is isolated from the received light.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for using a feature hierarchy with multiple levels with a different number of features at different levels to segment a dataset. The mechanism may use the first level of the hierarchy to segment a dataset into multiple datasets and then generate a timeseries dataset for each segment. Those timeseries datasets may be input into an anomaly detection model to identify a number of anomalies detected within those segments. Based on the number of anomalies not reaching a threshold, a second level of the hierarchy may be used to segment the dataset. Those segments may be input into the anomaly detection model to determine a number of anomalies for the second level. This process may continue until a level of the hierarchy is determined such that the number of anomalies reaches the threshold. The mechanism may then generate a security rule to deal with the anomalies.
