Abstract: A device, such as Network Microphone Device or a playback device, detecting an event associated with the device or a system comprising the device. In response, an input detection window is opened for a given time period. During the given time period the device is arranged to receive an input sound data stream representing sound detected by a microphone. The input sound data stream is analyzed for a plurality of keywords and/or a wake-word for a Voice Assistant Service (VAS) and, based on the analysis, it is determined that the input sound data stream includes voice input data comprising a keyword or a wake-word for a VAS. In response, the device takes appropriate action such as causing the media playback system to perform a command corresponding to the keyword or sending at least part of the input sound data stream to the VAS.

Abstract: A method of on-demand energy delivery to an active suspension system comprising an actuator body, hydraulic pump, electric motor, plurality of sensors, energy storage facility, and controller is provided. The method comprises disposing an active suspension system in a vehicle between a wheel mount and a vehicle body, detecting a wheel event requiring control of the active suspension; and sourcing energy from the energy storage facility and delivering it to the electric motor in response to the wheel event.

Abstract: A device, such as Network Microphone Device or a playback device, receives an indication of a track change associated with a playback queue output by a media playback system. In response, an input detection window is opened for a given time period. During the given time period the device is arranged to receive an input sound data stream representing sound detected by a microphone. The input sound data stream is analyzed for a plurality of command keywords and/or a wake-word for a Voice Assistant Service (VAS) and, based on the analysis, it is determined that the input sound data stream includes voice input data comprising a command keyword or a wake-word for a VAS. In response, the device takes appropriate action such as causing the media playback system to perform a command corresponding to the command keyword or sending at least part of the input sound data stream to the VAS.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method includes detecting user input activating a text effect selection control. In response to the user input the method further includes: automatically generating a first shadow for a selected design element, the first shadow having a first colour, a first direction, a first offset, and a first opacity; automatically generating a second shadow for the selected design element, the second shadow having the first colour, the first direction, a second offset greater than the first offset, and a second opacity less than the first opacity; displaying the first shadow behind the selected design element; and displaying the second shadow behind the first shadow.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method comprises detecting initiation of a curved text effect in respect of a selected text string of a design; determining a radius; processing the selected text string to split the selected text string into one or more text string elements, each text string element being associated with a glyph; calculating, for each text string element, an element transformation that includes element rotation data and element position data, the element transformation being based on the radius; and rendering each text string element by, for a given text string element, rendering the glyph that the given text string element is associated with based on the element transformation calculated for the given text string element.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for providing a graphical user interface for editing a design is described. A selection of a plurality of the design elements is received and a subset of the selected design elements is determined. Edit operations for the selected design elements are automatically selected based on the determined subset of the selected design elements. The design may be a table or include a table and the subset of selected design elements may be a category of borders forming the table.
