Publication number: 20240135973Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for identifying candidate boundaries for video segments, video segment selection using those boundaries, and text-based video editing of video segments selected via transcript interactions. In an example implementation, boundaries of detected sentences and words are extracted from a transcript, the boundaries are retimed into an adjacent speech gap to a location where voice or audio activity is a minimum, and the resulting boundaries are stored as candidate boundaries for video segments. As such, a transcript interface presents the transcript, interprets input selecting transcript text as an instruction to select a video segment with corresponding boundaries selected from the candidate boundaries, and interprets commands that are traditionally thought of as text-based operations (e.g., cut, copy, paste) as an instruction to perform a corresponding video editing operation using the selected video segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Xue BAI, Justin Jonathan SALAMON, Aseem Omprakash AGARWALA, Hijung SHIN, Haoran CAI, Joel Richard BRANDT, Lubomira Assenova DONTCHEVA, Cristin Ailidh Fraser

Patent number: 11902729Abstract: A compact electronic device has a touch sensor and/or a microphone that are concealed within a housing at least partially wrapped by an acoustically porous cover. In some implementations, the touch sensor includes a sensing portion and a contact portion extending from the sensing portion. While the sensing portion is placed in proximity to an interior surface of the housing to detect a touch on the housing, the contact portion is bent to electrically couple the sensing portion to a circuit board via two distinct electrical paths. In some implementations, an exterior surface of the housing includes a sealing area surrounding an aperture on the housing, and the acoustically porous cover is affixed to the sealing area via an adhesive. The adhesive covers the sealing area and permeates a thickness of the acoustically porous cover, thereby enabling formation of a controlled sound path to access the microphone via the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2023Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Justin Richard Wodrich, Timothy Michael Vanderet, Daniel David Sachs, Jung Geun Tak, Laurie Kwan

Patent number: 11299191Abstract: Systems and methods of shielding a hand sensor system in a steering wheel are disclosed herein. An exemplary hand sensor system includes a sensor mat and a heater mat that is disposed between the sensor mat and a frame of the steering wheel. A power source selectively provides a heating current to the heater mat to provide heat to the steering wheel and a shielding voltage signal to the heater mat to provide electrical shielding for the sensor mat when heating is not needed or when sensing takes priority over heating. Alternatively, the system may include a shield mat that is separate from the heater mat and is disposed between the sensor mat and the heater mat. In addition, to isolate the signal carried by individual sensor return wires, a metallic or insulating covering or conduit may be provided around the wires or portions thereof.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Joyson Safety Systems Acquisition LLCInventors: Dwayne Van'tZelfde, Phillip Bernard Maguire, Justin Richard McCurdy

Patent number: 11274654Abstract: A wind turbine and associated control method includes a controller configured with a high speed shaft brake in the generator gear train. The controller receives an input signal corresponding to rotational speed of the high speed shaft, wherein upon the high speed shaft reaching a predefined rotational speed and under a braking condition that calls for the rotor to come to a complete standstill, the controller generates an activate signal to activate the brake. An interlock system is in communication with the low speed shaft sensor and the controller and is configured to override the activate signal when the rotational speed of the low speed shaft is above a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Justin Richard Curtis, Joseph Andrew Trzemzalski, Hammad Ahmad, Zachary Kurt Blaettler, Till Hoffmann
