  • Publication number: 20260120709
    Abstract: Privacy-preserving methods, systems, and media for personalized sound discovery within an environment are provided. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for personalized sound discovery is provided, the method comprising: receiving, on a computing device in an environment, a sound recording of sounds in the environment; determining, using one or more pre-trained sound models of a personalization module, an embedding of the sound recording and a predicted sound class that the sound recording likely belongs; transmitting a notification to a user device that indicates the received sound recording, wherein the notification prompts a user of the user device to indicate whether to personalize the sound recording; receiving a label corresponding to the received sound recording from the user of the user device; and updating the one or more pre-trained sound models based on the received label, the embedding, and the predicted sound class of the sound recording.

  • Patent number: 9862006
    Abstract: A system for processing solar cells is disclosed which includes a separation module for separating a processing frame from solar cells that are fed along a conveyance line. The processing frame can be separated without requiring manual lifting of the processing frame by feeding the processing frame and solar cells into a magnetic roller system. The magnetic roller system can gradually lift the processing frame away from the solar cells and divert the processing frame to a separate roller system. The solar cells can remain on the main conveyance line for further processing.

  • Publication number: 20100070877
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter is directed to the conversion of ordinary email data into calendar data. Specifically, the claimed subject matter provides a method and system of an electronic communication message system that performs the creation of calendar events in a personal calendar application from electronic communication text. One embodiment of the claimed subject matter is implemented as a method for creating an electronic calendar event from a selected portion of text from electronic communication message. An electronic communication message is displayed to a user. A user selected portion of the text comprising the electronic communication message is received as input. A scheduling composition dialog is actuated based on the user selected portion, and a calendar event is created in a personal calendar application for the selected portion of the electronic communication message.
