  • Publication number: 20230045231
    Abstract: Transducer-based systems and methods may be configured to display a graphical representation of a transducer-based device, the graphical representation including graphical elements corresponding to transducers of the transducer-based device, and also including between graphical elements respectively associated with a set of the transducers and respectively associated with a region of space between the transducers of the transducer-based device. Selection of graphical elements and/or between graphical elements can cause activation of the set of transducers associated with the selected elements. Transducer activation characteristics, such as initiation time, activation duration, activation sequence, and energy delivery characteristics, can vary based on numerous factors. Visual characteristics of graphical elements and between graphical elements can change based on an activation-status of the corresponding transducers.

  • Publication number: 20230012869
    Abstract: A request to store a container image is received from a device associated with a customer of a computing resource service provider. Validity of a security token associated with the request is authenticated using a cryptographic key maintained as a secret by the computing resource service provider. One or more layers of the container image is built based at least in part on at least one build artifact to form a set of built layers. The software image including the set of built layers is stored in a repository associated with the customer. A manifest of metadata for the set of built layers is stored in a database of a structured data store. The container image is obtained in the form of an obtained container image. The obtained container image is deployed as the software container in at least one virtual machine instance associated with the customer.

  • Publication number: 20230019649
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining that artificial commands, in excess of a threshold value, are detected by multiple voice activated electronic devices is described herein. In some embodiments, numerous voice activated electronic devices may send audio data representing a phrase to a backend system at a substantially same time. Text data representing the phrase, and counts for instances of that text data, may be generated. If the number of counts exceeds a predefined threshold, the backend system may cause any remaining response generation functionality that particular command that is in excess of the predefined threshold to be stopped, and those devices returned to a sleep state. In some embodiments, a sound profile unique to the phrase that caused the excess of the predefined threshold may be generated such that future instances of the same phrase may be recognized prior to text data being generated, conserving the backend system's resources.
