Patent number: 11928139Abstract: Systems for processing queries may first determine correspondence between the parameters of the query and a set of existing data entries, a set of previous queries that have been received, or both the existing data entries and the previous queries. If the query parameters do not correspond to the data entries or pervious queries, correspondence is determined between the query parameters and group data that associates at least a subset the query parameters with a particular group that may generate a response to the query. The same group or the generated response may be used when similar queries are received. If the group transmits the query to a different group or if negative user feedback is received, the group data may be modified to indicate the different group or to remove the association with the initial group that received the query.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Townsend Street Labs, INC.Inventors: Pratyus Patnaik, Marissa Mary Montgomery, Jay Srinivasan, Suchit Agarwal, Rajhans Samdani, David Colby Kaneda, Nathaniel Ackerman Rook

Patent number: 11238879Abstract: An acoustic delay measurement apparatus measures an audio delay introduced by an audio system. A programmable delay buffer, which introduces a programmable delay into the audio stream, receives an audio stream from an audio source and outputs a reference signal representing the audio stream. An adaptive filter is responsive to the reference signal to generate an estimate signal to match on convergence of the adaptive filter an audio signal output by the audio system, which is the audio stream delayed by an amount representative of the audio delay introduced by the audio system. A processor including a coefficient analysis block reads coefficients in the adaptive filter after convergence, computes a delay introduced into said estimate signal by the adaptive filter, and adds the computed delay to the programmable delay buffer to provide a measurement of the audio delay.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Microsemi Semiconductor (U.S.) Inc.Inventors: Siddharth Raghunandan, David Colby, Dean Morgan

Patent number: 10817483Abstract: Systems and methods for determining whether a data entry has deprecated may receive a query from a user device and provide a data entry responsive to the query. If user feedback associated with the response indicates that the response resolved the query, confirmation data that associates the data entry with the query parameters is generated. If the user feedback indicates that the response did not resolve the query, existing confirmation data is accessed to determine whether a previous association between the data entry and the parameters of the query was generated. If correspondence between the confirmation data and the query and response is determined, a notification indicating the deprecation of the data entry is generated and the data entry may be suppressed from future output.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: TOWNSEND STREET LABS, INC.Inventors: Rajhans Samdani, Pratyus Patnaik, David Colby Kaneda, Suchit Agarwal, Nathaniel Ackerman Rook, William Stone Potter, Jay Srinivasan

Patent number: 10685047Abstract: A system for processing queries from a user device may first generate an augmented query by determining weight values and synonyms for at least a portion of the parameters in the query, and adding or removing one or more query parameters. Correspondence between the augmented query and an existing set of data entries may be used to determine a subset of data entries that may be responsive to the query. Correspondence may then be determined between the augmented query and previous queries that were addressed by the subset of data entries, to determine a particular previous query having the greatest correspondence with the augmented query. The data entry associated with the particular previous query may be used to generate a response to the query received from the user device.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2016Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: TOWNSEND STREET LABS, INC.Inventors: Pratyus Patnaik, Marissa Mary Montgomery, Jay Srinivasan, Suchit Agarwal, Rajhans Samdani, David Colby Kaneda, Nathaniel Ackerman Rook
