Publication number: 20240388128Abstract: Information about power events on the electrical grid may be determined by processing reports of power anomalies from power monitors installed at various points on the electrical grid, such as in buildings of end users of electrical power. A power monitor may process sensor measurements of the power line to determine that a power anomaly has occurred. The power monitor may transmit information about the power anomaly, such as the time and location, to a processing location. The processing location may select power anomaly reports having a similar time and location to determine information about a power event that caused the power anomalies. The information about the power event may include the type, time, and location of the power event. A notification may be sent about the power event to facilitate repairs and reduce risks, such as the risk of electrical fires.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2023Publication date: November 21, 2024Inventors: Matthew William Fishburn, George Zavaliagkos, Michael S. Phillips

Patent number: 11582310Abstract: An electrical panel or an electrical meter may provide improved functionality by interacting with a smart plug. A smart plug may provide a smart-plug power monitoring signal that includes information about power consumption of devices connected to the smart plug. The smart-plug power monitoring signal may be used in conjunction with power monitoring signals from the electrical mains of the building for providing information about the operation of devices in the building. For example, the power monitoring signals may be used to (i) determine the main of the house that provides power to the smart plug, (ii) identify devices receiving power from the smart plug, (iii) improve the accuracy of identifying device state changes, and (iv) train mathematical models for identifying devices and device state changes.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Sense Labs, Inc.Inventors: Ghinwa Fakhri Choueiter, Jonah Wyman Petri, George Zavaliagkos

Patent number: 9626969Abstract: A method is described for improving the accuracy of a transcription generated by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) engine. A personal vocabulary is maintained that includes replacement words. The replacement words in the personal vocabulary are obtained from personal data associated with a user. A transcription is received of an audio recording. The transcription is generated by an ASR engine using an ASR vocabulary and includes a transcribed word that represents a spoken word in the audio recording. Data is received that is associated with the transcribed word. A replacement word from the personal vocabulary is identified, which is used to re-score the transcription and replace the transcribed word.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: George Zavaliagkos, William F.

Patent number: 9020107Abstract: Techniques are described for performing actions for users based at least in part on spoken information, such as spoken voice-based information received from the users during telephone calls. The described techniques include categorizing spoken information obtained from a user in one or more ways, and performing actions on behalf of the user related to the categorized information. For example, in some situations, spoken information obtained from a user is analyzed to identify one or more spoken information items (e.g., words, phrases, sentences, etc.) supplied by the user, and to generate corresponding textual representations (e.g., via automated speech-to-text techniques). One or more actions may then be taken regarding the identified information items, including to categorize the items by adding textual representations of the spoken information items to one or more of multiple predefined lists or other collections of information that are specific to or otherwise available to the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2011Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Shreedhar Madhavapeddi, William F.
