  • Patent number: 12282698
    Abstract: Wearable head-mounted displays, such as virtual reality systems, present immersive experiences and environments to a wearer. However, the head-mounted displays, as well as the immersive environments that they produce, limit the wearer's ability to interact with outside observers. For example, a wearer may not be able to see outside observers, and outside observers may not have any insight to what the wearer is experiencing or where the wearer's attention is directed. Accordingly, a wearable electronic device may include an outward-facing display configured to display information to outside observers, such as images of the wearer's face or images that represent or indicate the state of the wearer and/or the head mounted display.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240346031
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to natural language understanding-based search engines, ranking sponsored search results and simulated ranking of sponsored search results. Tools and methods describe how to simulate the ranking of sponsored search results. The tools further identify instances of user queries within the scope of trigger patterns, optionally providing examples both of user queries for which a sponsored search result is likely to be displayed and examples for which the sponsored search result will not rank highly enough to be displayed, at least on the first page of search results.

  • Publication number: 20240029721
    Abstract: A method of building a natural language understanding application is provided. The method includes receiving at least one electronic record containing programming code and creating executable code from the programming code. Further, the executable code, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to create a parse and an interpretation of a sequence of input tokens, the programming code includes an interpret-block and the interpret-block includes an interpret-statement. Additionally, the interpret-statement includes a pattern expression and the interpret-statement includes an action statement.

  • Patent number: 11776338
    Abstract: The system for parcel transport and tracking that operates responsive to data bearing records includes a plurality of geographically spaced repositories. The exemplary repositories each include an interior area comprised of a plurality of enclosed compartment spaces. Access to each of the enclosed compartment spaces is controlled by a respective door which is in operative connection with a respective lock. Repositories are constructed to provide a secure enclosure for the parcels housed therein when exposed to a range of environmental and operating conditions. Central control circuitry in operative connection with the repositories is operative to control access to the compartment spaces and cause the compartments to be selectively accessible so that selected parcels may be placed therein or removed therefrom.
