Patent number: 12164832Abstract: Media input audio data corresponding to a media stream and microphone input audio data from at least one microphone may be received. A first level of at least one of a plurality of frequency bands of the media input audio data, as well as a second level of at least one of a plurality of frequency bands of the microphone input audio data, may be determined. Media output audio data and microphone output audio data may be produced by adjusting levels of one or more of the first and second plurality of frequency bands based on the perceived loudness of the microphone input audio data, of the microphone output audio data, of the media output audio data and the media input audio data. One or more processes may be modified upon receipt of a mode-switching indication.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2023Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Mark Alexander, Chunjian Li, Joshua Brandon Lando, Alan J.

Publication number: 20240320997Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to a systems and methods for a digital asset generation platform. The digital asset generation platform may ingest an ingest input. The digital asset generation platform may utilize a document identification engine corresponding to a first stage of a multi-stage convolutional neural network for identifying document types of documents. The digital asset generation platform may utilize an object detector engine corresponding to a second stage of the multi-stage convolutional neural network for detecting a dynamic mapping in the digital file. The digital asset generation platform may utilize a post-processing engine for classifying the dynamic mapping in the at least one digital file. The digital asset generation platform may dynamically generate a digital asset representative of the document based on the key value data pairs extracted from the dynamic mapping.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: James Toffey, Frank Dimarco, Coby Dodd, Shayan Hemmatiyan, Venkat Naidu, Edmond Costantini, Mark Alexander, Vishal Panchamia

Patent number: 12099112Abstract: Embodiments are provided for managing the operation of sensors in an electronic device. According to certain aspects, the electronic device may detect a change in motion from a set of lower-sensitivity sensor data generated by a sensor(s) operating in a lower-sensitivity mode. When the change in motion is detected and during a timeout window, the sensor(s) may generate an additional set of lower-sensitivity sensor data and a set of higher-sensitivity sensor data. The electronic device may initially confirm the change in motion based on analyzing the set of higher-sensitivity sensor data. Further, the electronic device may determine that the additional set of lower-sensitivity does not indicate an additional change in motion, and may deem the confirmation of the change in motion as a false positive.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Andrew Felch, Christopher Findeisen, JinJie Chen, Mark Alexander, Shang Shi, Zhuo Wang

Patent number: 11782149Abstract: Embodiments are provided for managing the operation of sensors in an electronic device. According to certain aspects, the electronic device may detect a change in motion from an initial set of sensor data generated by a sensor(s). A memory cache may store the initial set of sensor data or additional sensor data generated by the sensor(s). The electronic device may initiate a supplemental algorithm that analyzes the cached data. Based on the analysis of the cached data and whether the change in motion is confirmed or whether additional motion is detected, the electronic device may manage the operation of the supplemental algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Andrew Felch, Christopher Findeisen, JinJie Chen, Mark Alexander, Shang Shi, Zhuo Wang

Patent number: 11149439Abstract: An improved cable molding product that can be easily installed to protect low voltage and line voltage electrical cables in new and existing building construction applications. Its primary benefits are found in decreasing the cost of installation procedures and improving the aesthetics of low voltage electronic system cable and lie voltage cable runs at exterior and interior openings in new and existing buildings. The two-part secure molding system is comprised of a base portion that is mounted for instance to an inside face of rectangular aluminum tubing or any interior wall. Low voltage wiring cable is placed into a rectangular base portion channel. The line voltage wiring is placed into the separate base portion channel. A rectangular cover snaps securely onto and over the base to conceal the cable and wire.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Frame & Mullions LLCInventors: James Thomas Clarke, Jr., Mark Alexander
