  • Patent number: 11960459
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for merging customer profiles, such as may be implemented by a computer-implemented contact center service. In some aspects, a subset of profiles may be determined that satisfy merging criteria, where individual profiles include a plurality of data fields. At least one value in a first data field that conflicts between at least two profiles may be identified. Next a merged value may be selected for the first data field based on data deduplication criteria, where the data deduplication criteria includes at least one indicator of accuracy of values of the plurality of data fields. As a result of a determination that at least the subset of profiles of the group of profiles meet the merging criteria, at least the subset of profiles may be combined into a combined profile using the merged value.

  • Patent number: 11923857
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe correcting nonlinearity in a Digital-to-Time Converter (DTC) by relaxing a DTC linearity requirement, which results in the correction being co-adapted with a DTC gain calibration loop which can operate in parallel with a DTC integral nonlinearity (INL) correction loop. In one embodiment, the DTC gain calibration loop and the DTC INL correction loop are constrained when determining a nonlinearity correction code to improve the likelihood they converge. Once determined, the nonlinearity correction code can be combined with an digital code output by a time-to-digital converter (TDC) to generate a phase difference between a reference clock and a feedback clock.

  • Patent number: 11876523
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe normalizing an output of a TDC in a DPLL to a resolution of the TDC. A DTC can delay a reference clock which is then input into the TDC. The TDC outputs a digital code indicating a time difference between the delayed reference clock output by the DTC and a clock generated by a DCO in the DPLL. This digital code is normalized to a resolution of the TDC and the result is filtered by a DLF.

  • Publication number: 20230281564
    Abstract: A system for extracting relevant candidate data from a database of multiple candidate profiles is provided. The system is configured to receive an input profile and parse it into standardized profile data. The system is further configured to search the database to identify one or more related profiles for the standardized profile data. Further, the system is configured to use either or a combination of a trained machine learning model or a rule-based model to compute a similarity score between each of the related profiles and the standardized profile data.
