  • Patent number: 11392833
    Abstract: An audio processing system is described. The audio processing system uses a convolutional neural network architecture to process audio data, a recurrent neural network architecture to process at least data derived from an output of the convolutional neural network architecture, and a feed-forward neural network architecture to process at least data derived from an output of the recurrent neural network architecture. The feed-forward neural network architecture is configured to output classification scores for a plurality of sound units associated with speech. The classification scores indicate a presence of one or more sound units in the audio data. The convolutional neural network architecture has a plurality of convolutional groups arranged in series, where a convolutional group includes a combination of two data mappings arranged in parallel.

  • Patent number: 11234106
    Abstract: A system for simultaneous control of a subset of nodes in a wireless network includes a network controller and a plurality of nodes that are communicatively coupled to the network controller. The network controller transmits a custom Zigbee unicast message to a node of the subset of nodes that is assigned as a point guard node upon receiving an instruction to control one or more nodes of the subset of nodes. The point guard node receives the custom Zigbee unicast message and generates an InterPAN broadcast message based on a payload of the custom Zigbee unicast message. The point guard node broadcasts the InterPAN broadcast message as a one hop broadcast message to all the nodes in the radio range of the point guard node. The receiving nodes whose identifiers are present in the payload of the InterPAN broadcast message act on the instruction to change a status thereof.

  • Patent number: 11159257
    Abstract: A system can include a first electrical device disposed within a volume of space. The system can also include a user system disposed in the volume of space. The user system can broadcast a first initiation signal in the volume of space. The user system can also receive, in response to the first initiation signal, a first response signal from the first transceiver of the first electrical device, where the first response signal includes a first identification of the first electrical device. The user system can further measure at least one parameter associated with the first response signal. The user system can also determine whether the at least one parameter is within a range of acceptable values. The user system can further assign the first electrical device to a first group when the at least one parameter is determined to be within a range of acceptable values.
