  • Patent number: 12229195
    Abstract: An exemplary system for constructing data structures that can perform inferential reasoning to answer input queries may receive input data, extract and cluster entities in the input data into topic clusters, and for a first topic cluster construct a data structure comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein nodes of the data structure respectively represent a topic entity extracted from the input data and grouped into the first topic cluster, and wherein a first node of the data structure is associated with a second node of the data structure based on the first node and the second node respectively representing a first topic entity and a second topic entity associated in the input data with a common one of the one or more identified linguistic modalities. An exemplary system comprising the data structure may receive an input query and generate a response to the input query using the data structure.

  • Patent number: 12208819
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for autonomous vehicles to determine driving paths and associated trajectories through unstructured or off-route driving environments. When an object is detected within a driving environment, a vehicle may determine a cost-based side association for the object. Various costs may be used in different examples, including costs based on a cost plot and/or motion primitives that may vary for terminal and non-terminal desired destinations (or ending vehicle states). Using tree searches to determine estimated candidate costs, the autonomous vehicle may compare right-side and left-side driving path costs around the object to determine a side association for the object. Based on the side association, the autonomous vehicle may determine an updated planning corridor and/or a trajectory to control the vehicle from a current state to a desired ending vehicle state.

  • Publication number: 20250028742
    Abstract: A method for providing a hybrid AI and human electronic communication interface includes receiving a first electronic transmission comprising a user query from a user device. The method further includes automatically generating, by processing the user query by a set of AI models, an automatic response to the user query. The method further includes electronically transmitting the automatic response to the user device. The method further includes receiving, from the user device, a second electronic transmission comprising a user input in response to the automatic response. The method further includes determining, based at least in part on processing the user input, that a set of criteria is met; and in accordance with the determination that the set of criteria are met, automatically instantiating an electronic communication connection between the user device and a second user device.

  • Publication number: 20240393886
    Abstract: Electrodes that can be formed in a flexible band of a wrist-worn device to detect hand gestures are disclosed. Multiple rows of electrodes can be configured to detect electromyography (EMG) signals produced by activity of muscles and tendons. The band can include removable electrical connections (e.g., pogo pins) to enable the electrode signals to be routed to processing circuitry in the housing of the wrist-worn device. Measurements between signals from the active electrodes and one or more reference electrodes can be obtained to capture EMG signals at a number of locations on the band. The measurement method and mode of operation (lower power coarse detection or higher power fine detection) can determine the location and number of electrodes to be measured. These EMG signals can be processed to identify hand movements and recognize gestures associated with those hand movements.

  • Publication number: 20230076716
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to gesture-control inputs to an electronic device for controlling one or more other devices. The electronic device can efficiently provide gesture control for multiple other devices by mapping a finite set of user gestures to a specific set of gesture-control elements for each of the multiple other devices. In this way a single gesture can be detected for potentially controlling various different functions of various different devices. Prior to gesture control, the electronic device may receive a selection of a particular one of the multiple other devices for control, and obtain the specific set of gesture-control elements for gesture control of that selected device.

  • Patent number: 10200275
    Abstract: Methods and systems for hardware-accelerated packet multicasting are provided. According to one embodiment, a first multicast packet to be multicast to a first multicast destination is received by a virtual routing system. The multicast packet is caused to be transmitted to the multicast destination by: (i) directing the multicast packet to a first VR of multiple VRs instantiated within the virtual routing system by selecting the first VR from among the multiple VRs to multicast the multicast packet; (ii) configuring the virtual routing system to use a routing context associated with the selected VR in connection with processing of the multicast packet; (iii) reading at least a portion of the multicast packet from one of multiple multicast address spaces associated with the selected VR; and (iv) forwarding the multicast packet to the first multicast destination. Similar steps are then performed for a second multicast packet.

  • Patent number: 9407449
    Abstract: Methods and systems for hardware-accelerated packet multicasting are provided. According to one embodiment, a first packet to be multicast to a first destination and a second packet to be multicast to a second destination are received. The first and second packets are classified in accordance with different virtual routers (VRs) of multiple VRs instantiated by a virtual routing engine (VRE) of a virtual routing system by determining a first selected VR to multicast the first packet and a second selected VR to multicast the second packet. For each of the first and second packets: a routing context of the VRE is switched to a routing context associated with the selected VR; at least a portion of the packet is read from one of multiple multicast address spaces associated with the selected VR; and the packet is forwarded to the destination.

  • Patent number: 9014186
    Abstract: Methods and systems for hardware-accelerated packet multicasting are provided. According to one embodiment, a multicast packet is received at an ingress system of a packet-forwarding engine (PFE). Multiple flow classification indices are identified for the multicast packet by the ingress system. The multiple flow classification indices are sent to an egress system of the PFE by the ingress system. A single copy of the multicast packet is buffered in a memory accessible by the egress system. Corresponding transform control instructions are identified by the egress system based on each flow classification index. The single copy of the multicast packet is read from the memory. The multicast packet is transformed to an outgoing packet for each instance of the multicast packet based on the corresponding transform control instructions. The outgoing packet is transmitted for routing to a network.

  • Patent number: 8848718
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for applying metering and rate-limiting in a virtual router environment and supporting a hierarchy of metering/rate-limiting contexts per packet flow. According to one embodiment, multiple first level metering options and multiple second level metering options associated with a hierarchy of metering levels are provided. A virtual routing engine receives packets associated with a first packet flow and packets associated with a second packet flow. The virtual routing engine performs a first type of metering of the first level metering options on the packets associated with the first packet flow using a first metering control block (MCB) and performs a second type of metering of the second level metering options on the packets associated with the first packet flow and the packets associated with the second packet flow using a second MCB.
