  • Patent number: 11536446
    Abstract: An electronic device such as a voice-controlled speaker device may have a housing. A speaker and other input-output components and control circuitry may be mounted within the housing. Light-emitting components may emit light that passes through a curved upper top cap portion or other housing structure. The light-emitting components may be interconnected using a flex circuit on a curved substrate or may be mounted on a planar circuit board. A subset of the light-emitting components may be rotated to improve color balance. Optical structures such as light guides, lens, microlenses, and/or a diffuser layer may be disposed over the light-emitting components to promote light mixing, to reduce hotspots, and to improve contrast on the top cap. The diffuser layer may be suspended using a support structure having baffle members to constraint the angular spread of the emitted light. Illuminated or persistently visible glyphs may be displayed in or near the top cap portion.

  • Publication number: 20220329534
    Abstract: Described is a method of processing data packets in a communications network. The method comprises receiving a first data packet of a data packet flow from a network device and determining an instruction set for processing said first data packet. A flow key for said first data packet is determined. The first data packet is processed according to the determined instruction set. The method includes receiving a subsequent data packet and determining if a flow key of said subsequent data packet matches said flow key of said first data packet. If yes, the subsequent data packet is processed using the instruction set determined for said first data packet.

  • Publication number: 20220327432
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to computer-implemented systems and processes that facilitate a prediction of occurrences of product-specific events during targeted temporal intervals using trained artificial intelligence processes. For example, an apparatus may generate an input dataset based on elements of first interaction data associated with an occurrence of a first event. Based on an application of a trained artificial intelligence process to the input dataset, the apparatus may generate an element of output data representative of a predicted likelihood of an occurrence of each of a plurality of second events during a target temporal interval associated with the first event. The apparatus may also transmit the elements of output data to a computing system, which may perform operations that are consistent with the elements of output data.

  • Patent number: 11464443
    Abstract: Methods for screening, diagnosing, or predicting presence, progression, or treatment effects of a cognitive dysfunction such as dementia based on an analysis of drawing behavior changes by a pre-trained Naïve Bayes method are provided. The methods include steps of obtaining drawing data of at least one image created by a test subject on a digital device and obtaining personal data of the test subject; reconstructing the at least one image based on the drawing data obtained; converting the drawing data to drawing features comprising a plurality of motion features and a plurality of geometric features; and determining probability that the test subject has a cognitive dysfunction based on the drawing features and the personal data by a pre-trained Naïve Bayes method with a greedy variable selection.

  • Publication number: 20220322069
    Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for establishing data communication at a network device. The method includes identifying a cellular network by the network device. After that, the network device sends a request to an MSA for an embedded subscriber identification module (eSIM) profile of the cellular network. The MSA may or may not have an eSIM profile of the cellular network available. When an eSIM profile of the cellular network is available, the network device receives the eSIM profile information from the MSA. The network device then sends a request for data communication access to the cellular network using the eSIM profile information to obtain data communication access through the cellular network. The network device may comprise at least one universal integrated circuit card (UICC) and/or embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC).
