  • Patent number: 11436441
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for training one or more machine-learned models. The method can include inputting a first image frame and a second image frame into a feature disentanglement model and receiving, as an output of the machine-learned feature disentanglement model, a state feature and a perspective feature. The method can include inputting the state feature and the perspective feature into a machine-learned decoder model and receiving, as an output of the machine-learned decoder model, the reconstructed image frame. The method can include comparing the reconstructed image frame with a third image frame corresponding with the location and the perspective orientation. The method can include adjusting one or more parameters of the machine-learned feature disentanglement model based on the comparison of the reconstructed image frame and the third image frame.

  • Patent number: 11411734
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, devices, apparatuses, and processes that maintain data confidentiality in communications involving voice-enabled devices operating within a distributed computing environment. By way of example, an apparatus may receive, from a communications system across a public communications network, a request for an element of data generated by the computing system based on first audio content obtained at a device. The apparatus may obtain the requested data element and further, may generate acoustic data representative of at least a portion of the requested data element. The apparatus may also generate an encrypted response to the received request that includes the acoustic data, and transmit the encrypted response to the device across the public communications network.

  • Patent number: 11409777
    Abstract: A user interface of an entity-centric knowledge discovery system presents an entity profile including a mix of structured and unstructured data relating to an entity. As a user refines the entity profile based on information gathered from various sources, the changing entity profile can be used as a substantially continuously updating query to search, retrieve, and rank new and pertinent information specifically relevant to the profiled entity. The platform described herein provide an active loop for refining an entity description and searching for additional information in which human input and machine-based algorithms can cooperate to more quickly build a comprehensive description of an entity of interest.

  • Publication number: 20220176265
    Abstract: An air amplifier utilizes a high-pressure input stream of air to accelerate a low-velocity input stream of air to provide a high-velocity, high-volume output stream of air. A coupled air amplifier array includes multiple air amplifiers which couple their respective output streams of air to one another to form a single collective output stream of air. Multiple coupled air amplifier arrays can be utilized to form coupled air amplifier array systems to provide multiple collective output streams of air which can be focused toward to an audience within a venue. The coupled air amplifier array system can be implemented within atmospheric effects systems to provide atmospheric effects, such as wind, scent, and/or temperature to provide some examples, relating to an event. These atmospheric effects systems can present these atmospheric effects to the audience to enhance the immersion of the audience as they are viewing the event.

  • Patent number: 11339875
    Abstract: A park release mechanism for a vehicle, including an upper housing and an assembleable lower housing. A cam with a projecting handle is arranged between the upper and lower housings and defines a range of pivotal rotation relative the housings. A cable is secured at one end to the cam and adapted to secure at an opposite end to a transmission of the vehicle. An unlock component is incorporated into the housing in communication with the cam and handle and, upon actuating, to shift the vehicle to and from a Park position upon actuation of the handle and displacement of the cable.

  • Publication number: 20220140997
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented apparatuses and methods that validate confidential data based privacy-preserving homomorphic computations involving encrypted data. For example, an apparatus may receive, from a first computing system, encrypted data that includes a first encrypted value representative of at least one of first account data or an element of cryptographic data. Based on the first encrypted value and on second encrypted values, the apparatus may generate encrypted residual values representative of second account data associated with one or more reference accounts, and the apparatus may request and receive a decrypted residual value associated with each of the encrypted residual values from a second computing system. The apparatus may transmit the decrypted residual values to the first computing system, which may validate the first account data based on at least the decrypted residual values and perform operations associated with the validated first account data.

  • Publication number: 20220075880
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, devices, apparatuses, and processes that maintain data confidentiality in communications involving voice-enabled devices in a distributed computing environment using homomorphic encryption. By way of example, an apparatus may receive encrypted command data from a computing system, decrypt the encrypted command data using a homomorphic private key, and perform operations that associate the decrypted command data with a request for an element of data. Using a public cryptographic key associated with a device, the apparatus generate an encrypted response that includes the requested data element, and transmit the encrypted response to the device. The device may decrypt the encrypted response using a private cryptographic key and to perform operations that present first audio content representative of the requested data element through an acoustic interface.
