  • Patent number: 11947909
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for determining a language of a text string are presented. A language detection model may be maintained. The language detection model may comprise identities and weights for initial and final consonants, identities and weights for prefixes and suffixes, and identities and weights for vowel sequences, where each identity is derived from a training corpus. The weights may correspond to a frequency of a text unit in the corpus. A text string may be received and a match score between the text string and the language of the language detection model may be determined. The match score may be based on initial and final consonant scores, prefix and suffix scores, and/or vowel sequence scores for each word in the text string. If the match score meets a threshold value a follow-up action associated with the language may be performed.

  • Patent number: 11879426
    Abstract: A rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade defining a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. Further, the rotor blade assembly includes at least one structural feature secured within the rotor blade and spaced apart from the trailing edge to define a void between the pressure side, the suction side, and the trailing edge. Moreover, the rotor blade assembly includes an adhesive filling the void between the pressure side, the suction side, and the trailing edge to provide an adhesive connection between the pressure side, the suction side, the trailing edge, and the structural feature(s). In addition, the adhesive contacts the structural feature(s) at an interface and defines a fillet profile.

  • Patent number: 11809702
    Abstract: The disclosed technologies address various technical and user experience problems by augmenting the functionality provided by virtual on-screen trackpads without requiring users to switch between modes. In this way, users can access extended functionality without interfering with expected traditional trackpad functionality (e.g. moving a cursor, clicking, and scrolling). In particular, technologies are disclosed for modeless digital pen input to a virtual trackpad, modeless gestures for summoning user interfaces, modeless gestures utilizing position relative to adjacent user interfaces, and modeless cursor control and interaction with virtual touch targets.

  • Publication number: 20220414334
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for filtering predictive text surfacing candidates are provided. A predictive text filtering model may be maintained. The predictive text filtering model may comprise a plurality of terms that are associated in the predictive text filtering model with a precarious classification, and a range of a number of words for filtering cooccurrences of precarious and other precarious or blocklist terms from the plurality of terms. A text input may be processed with a predictive text model. A plurality of surfacing candidates may be determined based on the processing of the text input with the predictive text model. The predictive text filtering model may be applied to a surfacing candidate of the plurality of candidates. The surfacing candidate may be filtered from further processing. At least one non-filtered surfacing candidate may be displayed.

  • Patent number: 11393451
    Abstract: A speech processing system configured to convey linked content to a user in a voice user interface (VUI) environment is described. The system may create output audio data that includes an audible indicator (e.g., a beep) that indicates to a user linked content. An audible indicator may be located at the beginning and/or end of linked content in the output audio data. The system may also output non-linked content in a first voice while outputting linked content in a second voice. The system may further overlay audio atop the linked portion of the output audio data, with the overlaid audio indicating the linked content to the user. A user may invoke linked content in output audio by speaking the linked content, or a portion thereof, back to the system. The system may then output the linked, additional content to the user.

  • Patent number: 11199901
    Abstract: The disclosed technologies address technical problems, including improving human-computer interaction, by augmenting the functionality provided by non-digital objects using a digital glove. To provide this functionality, a machine learning model is trained using sensor data generated by sensors in a digital glove and data generated by a user input device while the digital glove is utilized to manipulate an object like a user input device. Once trained, the machine learning model can take sensor data generated by a digital glove while manipulating a non-digital object and generate virtual user input device data that can be utilized to control a host computer. A digital glove can also be utilized to perform selection operations using non-digital objects when pressure data generated by one or more of the pressure sensors in the digital glove indicates that pressure was exerted at a finger of the digital glove in excess of a threshold value.
