  • Publication number: 20250388384
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a container having a base that includes an outer base layer, an inner base layer, and a base insulation layer, the inner base layer defining an interior volume of the container. A moveable lid is coupled to the base at a first end thereof, the moveable lid including an outer lid layer, a first insulation layer, a second insulation layer, and an inner lid layer covering the first and second insulation layers. A seat is formed by the inner base layer, and the first insulation layer and the inner lid layer define a rim that contacts the seat when the moveable lid is in a closed position. The second insulation layer and the inner lid layer define a plug that forms an interference fit with the inner base layer to seal the interior volume when the moveable lid is in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 12182674
    Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for providing locally trained models for detecting individual sounds using electronic devices. Local detection of individual sounds with a detection model at an electronic device can be provided by obtaining training samples for the detection model with the electronic device, and generating additional negative and positive training samples based on the obtained training samples. A two-stage detection process may be provided, in which a trigger model at a device compares an audio input to a reference sound to trigger a detection model at the device. The detection of individual sounds with a detection model at an electronic device can also leverage audio capture capabilities of multiple devices in an acoustic scene to capture multiple concurrent training samples.
