  • Patent number: 12632165
    Abstract: In some implementations, a user device may present, on a user interface, an arc-shaped user interface element. The user device may detect a user interaction that indicates a first point on the arc-shaped user interface element. The user device may present, on the user interface, a first arc portion of the arc. The first arc portion may represent a first amount, of a total amount, to be associated with a first user account. A second arc portion may represent a second amount, of the total amount, associated with the second user account. The user device may transmit, to an account management device, information that identifies the first amount, of the total amount, to be associated with the first user account.

  • Publication number: 20260108029
    Abstract: A hands-free umbrella-receiving garment device is provided. The device is comprised of a wearable upper body garment configured with an integrated umbrella receiving area located along a rear surface of the garment. The body of the garment comprises lightweight, breathable, and weather-resistant material. The umbrella receiving area is dimensioned to accept an umbrella shaft and handle and may be reinforced with a support frame. The receiving area is further lined with conformable materials to ensure frictional stability of the umbrella during use. Additional components include elastic cuffs for weather insulation, a padded back panel for structural reinforcement and user support, and multiple storage compartments with various closure fasteners for secure containment of personal effects. The garment further comprises a front fastener assembly concealed beneath a protective flap and may include a dedicated umbrella storage pocket for retaining the umbrella when not in use.

  • Patent number: 12032920
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that train and use machine-learned models such as, for example, sequence-to-sequence models, to perform direct and text-free speech-to-speech translation. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure provide an attention-based sequence-to-sequence neural network which can directly translate speech from one language into speech in another language, without relying on an intermediate text representation.

  • Publication number: 20230419053
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training a translation model based on a first text sequence in a first language, a second text sequence in a second language different from the first language, and a label based on a source of the second text sequence. In some examples, the label may comprise an Internet domain, an Internet subdomain, a uniform resource locator, a website name, or an IP address. In some examples, the label may further indicate a source of the first text sequence. In some examples, each given training example may be automatically generated by sampling the first text sequence from a first page of a given Internet domain, sampling the second text sequence from a second page of the given Internet domain, and generating the label based on all or a portion of source data of the second page.

  • Publication number: 20230252245
    Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that leverage machine learning to perform post-editing of sentence-level translations that takes into account contextual information from the language source. As an example, the proposed post-editing system can run as a second pass to a sentence-level translation system and the goal of the post-editing system may be to refine translations which are affected by the larger context.

  • Patent number: 10692408
    Abstract: The present invention is an electronic hub device that comprises a frame mounted on a pole structure of an object. The frame comprises one or more sensors configured to detect one or more events around the electronic hub device, and a plurality of light sources installed along a boundary of the frame configured to illuminate a portion of the frame within the boundary of the frame. A portion of frame includes promotional content selected based on user preferences. The frame further comprises a processor configured to activate plurality of light sources upon detection of one or more events. The present invention exists in an alternate embodiment in which a poster is used to display the desired promotional content of a user. The poster in this embodiment is either displayed through the use of rings or through being mounted onto a frame of the electronic hub device. This allows the promotional content to be changed as frequently as a user desires.

  • Publication number: 20200111096
    Abstract: Systems and methods for Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems and methods for conditional electronic processing that utilize enhanced AI technologies to facilitate and also automatically recommend smart transaction conditions for optimized and multi-factor electronic conditional transaction processing. An AI engine may utilize AI technologies, including facial recognition, voice recognition and/or natural language processing to parse and process the real-time input data to extract conditionally relevant meaning. The aggregated data may be continuously evaluated to determine whether the one or more smart transaction conditions is met. The determination that the one or more smart transaction conditions has been met, may trigger the AI engine to call, via an API couple to the communication interface that communicates with an account provider system, to automatically facilitate the conditional transaction.
