  • Voice assistant-enabled client application with user view context and multi-modal input support
    Patent number: 11972095
    Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. Such heavy integration also allows particular embodiments to support multi-modal input from a user for a single conversational interaction. In this way, client application user interface interactions, such as clicks, touch gestures, or text inputs are executed alternative or in addition to the voice utterances.

  • Fault protection devices and related reclosing methods
    Patent number: 11101641
    Abstract: Fault protection devices for electrical distribution systems and related reclosing methods are provided. One exemplary method of reclosing a switching element of a fault protection device after fault detection involves pulsing the switching element closed to enable a temporary current flow through the fault protection device and verifying absence of a fault condition based at least in part on the temporary current flow using a testing fault detection threshold. After verifying the absence of the fault condition, the method closes the switching element to enable current flow through the fault protection device, monitors the current flow through the fault protection device for the fault condition using the testing fault detection threshold for a transition period, and monitors the current flow through the fault protection device for the fault condition using a different fault detection threshold after the transition period.
