  • Patent number: 11714841
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for processing a natural language query on data tables. According to some embodiments, a natural language query may be originated by a user via a user interface. The natural language query may be parsed to obtain a query term, and a grid range may be identified in a data table as relevant to the query term. A table summary may be prepared including a plurality of characteristics based on the grid range. A logic operation may then be determined to apply on the plurality of characteristics to derive the query term. The logic operation may then be translated into a formula executable on the data table, and the formula is applied on the data table to generate a result in response to the natural language query.

  • Patent number: 11650608
    Abstract: A smart-home device may include an energy-storage element that stores energy harvested from an environmental system; a power wire connector and a return wire connector; and switching elements configured to operate in a first state where the switching elements create a connection between the power and the return; and a second state where the switching elements interrupt the connection between the power and return. The smart-home device may also include a circuit that controls the switching elements, where the circuit is configured to detect a zero-crossing of a current received through the power wire connector; wait for a first time interval after the zero-crossing is detected; after an expiration of the first time interval, enable active power stealing for a second time interval; and after an expiration of the second time interval, disable active power stealing.

  • Patent number: 11645894
    Abstract: A doorbell chime bypass circuit includes a first node, a second node, and a bi-directional FET switch in series with the first node and the second current node. The bi-directional FET switch includes a first FET and a second FET in series, and is configured to cease conducting current between the first and second nodes when gate voltages of the first and second FETs are below a cut-off threshold. The bypass circuit further includes a sensing circuit configured to determine a level of current flowing through the bi-directional FET switch, and a switch controller configured to set the gate voltages of the first and second FETs to a level below the cut-off threshold when the sensing circuit senses that the level of current meets a doorbell press current threshold, causing the bi-directional FET switch to cease conducting current between the first and second nodes.

  • Patent number: 11620304
    Abstract: A method for transforming strings includes identifying one or more candidate example input strings from a database including a set of input strings. The candidate example input strings are presented for example transformation. For one or more of the candidate example input strings, an example output string corresponding to that example input string is received, where each example input string and its corresponding example output string define a transformation example in an example set. A string transformation program is generated based on transformation examples in the example set.

  • Publication number: 20230081230
    Abstract: A method of powering a controller using an intermediate device with power from an environmental system may include receiving current from a power wire from the environmental system; passing the current from the power wire to a second command wire from the controller; monitoring the current flowing between the power wire and the second command wire while the current is below a threshold indicative of an amount of current used to power the controller from the environmental system; detecting when the current flowing between the power wire and the second command wire exceeds the threshold indicating that the controller is sending a command to the environmental system to perform the function; and sending a command to environmental system using a first command wire from the environmental system after detecting that the current exceeds the threshold.
