  • Patent number: 12199996
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining whether to configure a detection comprised within a query is disclosed. The method includes analyzing a query to determine clauses within the query that identify logs relevant to the detection comprised within the query. The method further includes determining a statistical distribution for modeling a likely hit rate of the detection. Additionally, the method includes updating the statistical distribution with information associated with an observed hit rate. Also, the method includes determining a hit rate for the detection using the updated statistical distribution and live telemetry data and computing a confidence score for the detection. Responsive to a determination that the confidence score for the detection is above a predetermined threshold, the method includes maintaining the detection online.

  • Publication number: 20250013438
    Abstract: A method include receiving a natural language prompt from a user comprising a command to generate a code script for an automated assistant to perform a routine. The routine includes multiple discrete actions specified by the natural language prompt. The method further includes processing, by a pre-trained large language model (LLM), the natural language prompt to generate the code script as an LLM output, and processing the code script to determine the code script is incomplete, thereby rendering the code script unsuitable for the automated assistant to fulfill performance of the routine. Based on determining the code script is incomplete, the method includes issuing a user prompt soliciting the user to provide additional information needed to complete the code script and receiving user input of the additional information needed to complete the code script. The method includes supplementing the code script with the additional information to render completed code script.

  • Publication number: 20250014293
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to composing an editable artificial reality scene. Implementations include a composer tool for generating editable artificial reality scenes. For example, a scene creator can generate an artificial reality scene and publish the scene such that it can be accessed and/or edited by other users. The artificial reality scene can include scene components, such as an avatar, virtual object, motion dynamics, background, camera perspective, and others. Implementations of a privilege manager can manage access and/or edit privileges for stored artificial reality scenes. For example, the scene creator can define the scope of users that can access and/or edit the original scene and/or define the components of the scene that are editable. In some implementations, an original artificial reality scene can be edited multiple times by multiple users, thus generating multiple edited versions of the original scene.

  • Publication number: 20240425065
    Abstract: A vehicle management system includes a torque control generates torque shaping logic for managing torque output of a drive unit and limiting displacement between a drive unit of a vehicle and a wheel coupled to the drive unit. A measuring device monitors a transferred displacement between the drive unit and the wheel coupled to the drive unit when the drive unit is operating to measure a lash angle corresponding to the transferred displacement between the drive unit and the wheel. The measuring device can provide data (e.g., displacement data), indicating the lash angle information, to the vehicle management system. Based on the lash angle information, the torque output generates the torque shaping logic used to manage the torque output of the drive unit.

  • Publication number: 20240423319
    Abstract: A dual-layered midsole for footwear includes an internal midsole layer and an external midsole layer, which are coupled to and separated by a Strobel board. The internal midsole layer may compress and expand with the movement of a wearer of an article of footwear including the dual-layered midsole, while the external midsole may provide stability and cushion for the wearer. Materials selected for the internal and external midsole layers may provide tuned viscoelastic properties to different areas of the midsole as a function of midsole layer thickness at each sole area.

  • Patent number: 12154338
    Abstract: System, apparatus and method of image processing to detect a substance spill on a solid surface such as a floor is disclosed. First data representing a first image, captured by an image sensor, of a region including a solid surface, is received. A trained semantic segmentation neural network is applied to the first image data to determine, for each pixel of the first image, a spill classification value associated with the pixel, the determined spill classification value for a given pixel indicating the extent to which the trained semantic segmentation neural network estimates, based on its training, that the given pixel illustrates a substance spill. The presence of a substance spill on the solid surface is detected based on the determined spill classification values of the pixels of the first image.
