Abstract: This invention provides for a time released weed treatment system for maintaining a weed free garden space. This system enables creation and easy maintenance of weed free garden areas to allow for stronger overall garden health as well as provide greater control and use of space in gardening. The time release-based weed treatment system uses an elongated planar strip impregnated with the time release weed control/treatment mechanism. A plurality of spaced-apart cross cuts is formed along longitudinal edges of the strip to allow bending of the strip into an arcuate or angular configuration. Anchoring pins are provided for securing the strip flat on the ground in the selected location.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: This present invention provides a gas cartridge sprayer attachment for a garden hose that is to be used in conjunction with a standard garden hose connector and increase pressure in the water flow, and thereby vary the spray distance in a manner suitable for gardening needs. The sprayer attachment has a pistol-shaped body, with a barrel portion provided with an on/off switch in its forward part, a trigger switch, which opens and closes fluid flow from the garden hose into the sprayer attachment, and a gas cartridge delivering pressuring gas into the water flow passing through the sprayer attachment body. The sprayer attachment is provided with an independent power source. A gas release switch is coupled to the power source and the gas cartridge for releasing the gas from the gas cartridge.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method includes forming a structure by printing an ink, the ink including a glass-forming material, and heat treating the formed structure for converting the glass-forming material to glass. According to another embodiment, an ink composition includes a glass-forming material and a solvent.

Abstract: Parsed attachments from email communications may be sorted. In some examples, an application, such as an email processing application, may display email summaries associated with emails within an email summary view of the email application interface. A selected email associated with a selected email summary may be displayed in an email view. The email processing application may identify one or more attachments within the emails. Attachment summaries associated with the one or more attachments may be displayed within an attachment summary view of the email application interface.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for maintaining a wireless connection to a remote server while a device is in a low power mode. As a result of maintaining the connection, the device can receive messages triggering a wakeup event and placing the device in a normal power mode, enabling the device to be controlled remotely. To maintain the connection, the device transitions from sending encrypted network messages to a server from a first interval while in the normal power mode to a second interval while in the low power mode. In addition, the device sends unencrypted network messages to the server at the first interval using low power circuitry. The low power circuitry receives messages from the server and may trigger the device to enter the normal power mode and/or a connection maintenance mode.

Abstract: 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.
