  • Patent number: 12143788
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to transitioning a playback session between portable playback devices such as “smart” headphones, earbuds, and handheld speakers with playback devices of a zone-based media playback system. Exemplary techniques facilitate continuity of playback when transitioning between locations (e.g., from at home to on-the-go or vice versa) or between listening paradigms (e.g., personal or out-loud playback of audio content). An example implementation includes detecting a swap trigger, determining the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s), and performing a playback session swap between the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s).

  • Publication number: 20240349246
    Abstract: A communication system is disclosed in which an anchor base station configures a RAN based paging area for a communication device. When the anchor base station determines that it is necessary to update the RAN based paging area, it seeks to inform the communication device indicating that the RAN paging area for the communication device needs to be updated at the communication device, and subsequently, the base station may broadcast system information comprising information identifying a change to the paging area (e.g. a removal of a cell). The broadcasting of system information may also be carried out in other cells of the paging area.

  • Patent number: 12116032
    Abstract: A welding cart with a cable management system may include a frame, a shelf adapted to support a welding machine, a plurality of upright members, a plurality of wheels supporting the cart, one or more pairs of holders disposed on one or more sides of the cart, and a removable bar that may be releasably secured to the one or more pairs of holders. The bar may be releasably secured to the holders via a pin-and-hole mechanism and may have a hook adapted to hold welding equipment such as cables. The bar may be releasably secured to a first pair of holders disposed on a side of the cart or a second pair of holders disposed on another side of the cart. This system provides additional, easily accessible storage space for welding tools and accessories while still being compatible with a wide variety of portable welding machines.

  • Publication number: 20240331382
    Abstract: In various examples, natural language processing may be performed on text generated by a game to extract one or more in-game events from the game. The system (e.g., a client device and/or server) may receive the text in the form of one or more strings generated by a game application. The system may then extract one or more in-game events from the text using natural language processing. The game may include the text in a message it sends to the system (e.g., using an Application Programming Interface (API)) and/or in a game log entry or notification. The text may be generated based at least on the game determining one or more conditions are satisfied in the gameplay (e.g., victory, points scored, milestones, eliminations, item acquisition, etc.). The text may be mapped to event templates, which may then be used to extract parameters of events therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20240320445
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to attribution of a natural language (NL) based summary generated using a large language model (LLM). Processor(s) of a system can: receive NL based input associated with a client device, generate the NL based summary using the LLM, and process the NL based summary to determine whether a NL based summary segment of the NL based summary matches a dataset segment of a dataset that was utilized to initially train the LLM and/or to fine-tune the LLM. Further, the processor(s) can, in response to determining that the NL based summary segment matches the dataset segment, modify the NL based summary segment of the NL based summary to generate a modified NL based summary. Moreover, the processor(s) can cause the modified NL based summary to be rendered at the client device. The attribution of the NL based summary can be provided as a service to various third-parties.
