  • Publication number: 20230314536
    Abstract: The vectorial magnetometer and associated methods can allow to distinguish the relative superposed amplitudes associated to different spin populations based on the known proportions of the Rabi attenuation in the different characteristic orientations of the spin populations due to application of different pulse parameters which can be specifically selected to create a contrast between the attenuation proportions stemming from the different spin populations.

  • Publication number: 20230297214
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for tailoring composite graphical assistant interfaces for interacting with multiple different connected devices. The composite graphical assistant interfaces can be generated in response to a user providing a request for an automated assistant to cause a connected device to perform a particular function. In response to the automated assistant receiving the request, the automated assistant can identify other connected devices, and other functions capable of being performed by the other connected devices. The other functions can then be mapped to various graphical control elements in order to provide a composite graphical assistant interface from which the user can interact with different connected devices. Each graphical control element can be arranged to reflect how each connected device is operating simultaneous to the presentation of the composite graphical assistant interface.

  • Patent number: 11722483
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that perform structure-based access control. In particular, rather than relying upon a user-specific credential scheme, which can require manual sharing of user-specific credentials and/or switching between the multiple accounts to access the particular devices, applications, or services associated with such accounts, the systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate user credentials to be inherited by or otherwise assigned to a structure identifier associated with a structure (e.g., a home in which the user resides), thereby generating a set of structure credentials. This enables other users in the structure, who may be part of a collaborative user group, to access devices, applications, and/or services using the structure credentials.

  • Publication number: 20230237996
    Abstract: Remote automated assistant component(s) generate client device notification(s) based on a received IoT state change notification that indicates a change in at least one state associated with at least one IoT device. The generated client device notification(s) can each indicate the change in state associated with the at least one IoT device, and can optionally indicate the at least one IoT device. Further, the remote automated assistant component(s) can identify candidate assistant client devices that are associated with the at least one IoT device, and determine whether each of the one or more of the candidate assistant client device(s) should render a corresponding client device notification.

  • Publication number: 20230237997
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to a data processing system to validate vehicular functions in a voice activated computer network environment. The data processing system can improve the efficiency of the network by discarding action data structures and requests that invalid prior to their transmission across the network. The system can invalidate requests by comparing attributes of a vehicular state to attributes of a request state.

  • Patent number: 11700141
    Abstract: Various implementations relate to generating, locally at an assistant client device, specific control commands that, when transmitted to a corresponding smart device, are directly interpretable by the corresponding smart device to effectuate a state change at the corresponding smart device, or at a corresponding additional smart device directly controlled by the corresponding smart device. Various implementations additionally or alternatively relate to utilizing local assistant client devices in discovering, provisioning, and/or registering smart devices for an account of a user.

  • Publication number: 20230185429
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for tailoring composite graphical assistant interfaces for interacting with multiple different connected devices. The composite graphical assistant interfaces can be generated proactively and/or in response to a user providing a request for an automated assistant to cause a connected device to perform a particular function. In response to the automated assistant receiving the request, the automated assistant can identify other connected devices, and other functions capable of being performed by the other connected devices. The other functions can then be mapped to various graphical control elements in order to provide a composite graphical assistant interface from which the user can interact with different connected devices.

  • Publication number: 20230186915
    Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to processing voice commands or utterances. For instance, data indicative of a voice utterance can be received. A device topology representation can be accessed. The device topology representation can define a plurality of smart devices associated with one or more structures. The device topology representation can further define a location of each of the plurality of devices within the associated structures. A transcription of the voice utterance can be determined based at least in part on the device topology representation. One or more selected devices and one or more actions to be performed by the one or more selected devices can be determined based at least in part on the determined transcription and the device topology representation.

  • Publication number: 20220389930
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a stator component for a pump housing. The stator component has a plurality of fluid inlet channels for conveying fluid to respective pumping chambers. The fluid inlet channels each have an inlet port for conveying fluid into the pumping chamber. A plurality of fluid transfer channels are provided for conveying fluid to a respective one of the fluid inlet channels. The fluid transfer channels each have an inlet for receiving pumped fluid. The stator component is adapted to receive at least one sealing member for inhibiting the conveyance of fluid into an associated one of the pumping chambers. Aspects of the present invention relate to a pump housing, a cover plate and a pump. Aspects of the present invention also relate to a method of converting a stator component.

  • Patent number: 11491408
    Abstract: A bogie configured to move along a track of an amusement ride includes two first lateral wheels, on each side of a vertical center plane of the bogie, for rolling along a run of the track. A second lateral wheel is mounted on each side of the vertical center plane and is movable perpendicular to the vertical center plane between a first position proximate the vertical plane and a second position spaced-away from the vertical plane. The bogie also includes a mechanism that provides a force to normally bias the second wheel toward the first position. The mechanism is configured such that the magnitude of the provided force increases with increasing separation between the second lateral wheel on one side of the vertical center plane and the second lateral wheel on the other side of the vertical center plane.
