Publication number: 20240112673Abstract: Implementations described herein identify and correct automatic speech recognition (ASR) misrecognitions. For example, on-device processor(s) of a client device may generate a predicted textual segment that is predicted to correspond to spoken utterance of a user of the client device, and may receive further input that modifies the predicted textual segment to an alternate textual segment. Further, the on-device processor(s) may store these textual segments in on-device storage as a candidate correction pair, and transmit the candidate correction pair to a remote system. Moreover, remote processor(s) of the remote system may determine that the candidate correction pair is an actual correction pair, and may cause client devices to generate updates for a global ASR model for the candidate correction pair. Additionally, the remote processor(s) may distribute the global ASR model to the client devices and/or additional client devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Rajiv Mathews, Rohit Prabhavalkar, Giovanni Motta, Mingqing Chen, Lillian Zhou, Dhruv Guliani, Harry Zhang, Trevor Strohman, Françoise Beaufays

Patent number: 10827190Abstract: A framework for estimating image interpretability degradation associated with image compression is provided. An image compression broker system can determine an image compression setting to achieve an interpretability task in accordance with available communication bandwidth or transmission time objectives. Estimating image interpretability degradation includes detecting edge points of an uncompressed image and determining gradients corresponding to the detected edge points; compressing in accordance with a compression parameter setting the uncompressed image to generate a compressed image and determining gradients corresponding to the edge points in the compressed image; determining from the gradients associated with the edge points gradient ratios; and estimating from the gradient ratios an image interpretability loss of the compressed image.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Erik Philip Blasch, Hua-Mei Harry Chen, Zhonghai Wang, Genshe Chen, Kui Liu, Dan Shen

Patent number: 10121605Abstract: The present invention provides for two types of wide operating temperature range electrolyte formulations that contain methyl butyrate (MB) and additives have been investigated and compared in Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs), which were consisted of hard carbon (HC)/stabilized lithium metal powder (SLMP) anodes and activated carbon (AC) cathodes. The electrolyte L1 that was 1M LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate (EC)+ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC)+MB (20:20:60 v/v %)+0.1M lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB) and electrolyte L2 that was 1M LiPF6 in EC+EMC+MB (20:20:60 v/v %)+0.1M lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) enabled the LICs to discharge at the temperature as low as ?40° C., which the conventional electrolyte LP30 that was 1 M LiPF6 in EC+dimethyl carbonate (DMC) (50:50 w/w %) could not achieve. At the low temperature of ?40° C., L2 held more than 64% of the discharge capacity at 30° C., while the L1 only had the discharge capacity retention of 30%.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: GENERAL CAPACITOR, LLCInventors: Wanjun Cao, Harry Chen, Jian-ping (Jim) Zheng, Daniel L.

Patent number: 10062051Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive a browsing request to view an item offered by a first third party retailer. An estimated inventory value for the item at the first third-party retailer is retrieved. The estimated inventory value is maintained using a combination of a history of purchases of the item and a history of inventory values for the item received from one or more third party retailers. A representation of the item as being available for purchase is transmitted to a user device based upon the estimated inventory value for the item. In response to receiving a request to initiate a purchase of the item, a request for a current inventory value for the item is transmitted to a retail server. The purchase of the item is initiated in response to determining the item is available based upon the received current inventory value.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: CURBSIDE, INC.Inventors: Jaron I.

Patent number: 9705982Abstract: Systems and methods of managing pairing information associated with peer-to-peer device pairings are disclosed herein. The pairing information can include link keys or other configuration data associated with the peer-to-peer device pairing. The system can detect that a first electronic device has paired with a second electronic device via a peer-to-peer device pairing connection. The first electronic device can store pairing information associated with the peer-to-peer device pairing. The system can determine when the peer-to-peer device pairing terminates. For example, the system can determine that a peer-to-peer activity has terminated, that a timeout period has elapsed, or any other event indicative of a termination of a peer-to-peer device pairing. In response to the determination that the peer-to-peer device pairing terminates, the system can delete the pairing information, thereby efficiently utilizing the storage medium of the first computing device.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2016Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventor: Shi Harry Chen
