Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for health condition analysis based on an elasticity detection device. The method includes: sending, by a client, a health condition analysis request to a cloud server, where the health condition analysis request includes individual attribute identification information of a querier; acquiring, by the cloud server, to-be-analyzed data corresponding to the health condition analysis request from a cloud database storing displacement data of each querier, and conducting data analysis on the to-be-analyzed data to obtain health condition information of the querier; and receiving, by the client, the health condition information of the querier sent by the cloud server. Therefore, by virtue of mass displacement data of mass queriers stored in the cloud server, the querier can conveniently learn his/her health condition in time through the client.

Abstract: Systems and methods of improving segmentation and classification in multi-channel images of biological specimens are described herein. Image channels may be arranged and processed sequentially, with the first image channel being processed from an unmodified image, and subsequent images processed from attenuated images that remove features of previous segmentations. For each segmented image channel in sequence, a binary image mask of the image channel may be created. A distance transform image may be computed from the binary mask. Attenuation images computed for all previous channels may be combined with a current attenuation image to create a combined attenuation image. The next image channel in the sequence may then be attenuated to produce an attenuated next image channel, which may then be segmented. The steps can be repeated until all image channels have been segmented.

Abstract: A system configured to enable remote control to allow a first user to provide assistance to a second user. The system may receive a command from the second user granting remote control to the first user, enabling the first user to initiate a voice command on behalf of the second user. In some examples, the system may enable the remote control by treating a voice command originating from the first user as though it originated from the second user instead. For example, the system may receive the voice command from a first device associated with the first user but may route the voice command as though it was received by a second device associated with the second user. To enable this functionality, during a remote control session the first device may disable wakeword detection so that the voice command is correctly routed to the second device.

Abstract: Implementations relate to dynamically, and in a context-sensitive manner, biasing voice to text conversion. In some implementations, the biasing of voice to text conversions is performed by a voice to text engine of a local agent, and the biasing is based at least in part on content provided to the local agent by a third-party (3P) agent that is in network communication with the local agent. In some of those implementations, the content includes contextual parameters that are provided by the 3P agent in combination with responsive content generated by the 3P agent during a dialog that: is between the 3P agent, and a user of a voice-enabled electronic device; and is facilitated by the local agent. The contextual parameters indicate potential feature(s) of further voice input that is to be provided in response to the responsive content generated by the 3P agent.
