Patent number: 12094455Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively ignoring an occurrence of a wakeword within audio input data is provided herein. In some embodiments, a wakeword may be detected to have been uttered by an individual within a modified time window, which may account for hardware delays and echoing offsets. The detected wakeword that occurs during this modified time window may, in some embodiments, correspond to a word included within audio that is outputted by a voice activated electronic device. This may cause the voice activated electronic device to activate itself, stopping the audio from being outputted. By identifying when these occurrences of the wakeword within outputted audio are going to happen, the voice activated electronic device may selectively determine when to ignore the wakeword, and furthermore, when not to ignore the wakeword.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2023Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James David Meyers, Kurt Wesley Piersol

Patent number: 11922095Abstract: A system may use multiple speech interface devices to interact with a user by speech. All or a portion of the speech interface devices may detect a user utterance and may initiate speech processing to determine a meaning or intent of the utterance. Within the speech processing, arbitration is employed to select one of the multiple speech interface devices to respond to the user utterance. Arbitration may be based in part on metadata that directly or indirectly indicates the proximity of the user to the devices, and the device that is deemed to be nearest the user may be selected to respond to the user utterance.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2018Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James David Meyers, Shah Samir Pravinchandra, Yue Liu, Arlen Dean, Daniel Miller, Arindam Mandal

Publication number: 20230384775Abstract: The subject matter herein provides for AI-based prediction of production defects in association with a production system, such as a semiconductor manufacturing machine. In one embodiment, a method begins by receiving production data from the production system. The production data typically comprises non-homogeneous machine parameters and maintenance data, quality test data, and product and process data. Using the production data, a neural network is trained to model an operation of a given machine in the production system. Preferably, the training involves multi-task learning, transfer learning (e.g., using knowledge obtained with respect to a machine of the same type as the given machine), and a combination of multi-task learning and transfer learning. Once the model is trained, it is associated with the given machine operating environment, wherein it is used to provide quality assurance predictions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: David Meyer, Guglielmo Montone
