Abstract: Input context for a statistical dialog manager may be provided. Upon receiving a spoken query from a user, the query may be categorized according to at least one context clue. The spoken query may then be converted to text according to a statistical dialog manager associated with the category of the query and a response to the spoken query may be provided to the user.

Abstract: Methods and measurements systems are disclosed relating to dynamic measurement prioritization by multiple software interfaces. A first software interface with a low priority may be conducting a first measurement on a device under test (DUT) through a driver connected to a measurement device. A second software interface with a higher priority may initiate a request to conduct a second measurement on the DUT. In response, the driver may automatically determine that the second software interface has a higher priority than the first software interface and may halt the first measurement and conduct the second measurement. The driver may notify the first software interface that its access to the measurement hardware has been revoked, and the first software interface may enter a monitoring mode to monitor the results of the second measurement.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for performing image processing at a camera-level. For example, a camera service may run on top of a camera hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and may be configured to perform image processing such as applying a blurring algorithm, applying a color filter and/or other video effects. An application may pass metadata to the camera service via an application programming interface (API) and the camera service may use the metadata to determine parameters for the image processing. The camera service may apply the blurring algorithm for a first period of time before transitioning to unblurred image data over a second period of time.

Abstract: A mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes an activity sensor for generating data, a channel controller configured to determine the user presence based on the data obtained through the activity sensor, and a communication interface for communicating with an external network. The channel controller is configured to block or disable the communication between a source on the mobile device and the external network when the channel controller determines a lack of the user presence for a predetermined time.

Abstract: Methods, electronic devices, and systems for exchanging encrypted information. A method for exchanging encrypted information by an electronic device includes generating one or more device certificates and one or more device public private key pairs. The one or more device certificates are signed using a device unique private key that is pre-stored on the electronic device. The method also includes sending the one or more device certificates to a server of a token service provider (TSP). The method further includes receiving one or more TSP certificates from the TSP server. The method includes identifying one or more TSP public keys of the TSP server based on the one or more received TSP certificates. Additionally, the method includes transmitting a message including the information encrypted based on the one or more identified TSP public keys and a signature of the electronic device.

Abstract: A method for forming a blended material for use as a deposition material in a fused filament fabrication (FFF) printer is provided. A semi-crystalline material and an amorphous material are physically mixed at an appropriate ratio. The mixed material is then heated to a temperature that is above the melting point of the semi-crystalline material and above the glass transition temperature of the amorphous material to form a blended material. The blended material is then extruded through an extruder die for use in the FFF printer.
