  • Publication number: 20250065968
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, coordinate dynamic adjustments of a trailer based in part on a user profile associated with a user physically present at the trailer and an activity profile associated with an activity selected to be performed at the trailer. A dynamic adjustment may modify a tilt of a lower surface of the trailer. A dynamic adjustment may modify a dimension(s) of the trailer based in part on a detected object(s). Various dynamic adjustments may occur concurrently, individually and/or sequentially. The trailer may be a moveable trailer for temporary attachment with a vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20140122084
    Abstract: In an embodiment, speech may be acquired from a user. A concept, that may be associated with the user, may be identified from the acquired speech. The concept may be identified by fuzzy matching one or more words in the acquired speech with data contained in a data store. The data store may be associated with the user. An action may be performed based on the identified concept.

  • Patent number: 8635201
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to techniques for receiving a query from a device and location data indicating a location of the device, the location data having a level of specificity; in response to the query being received, identifying at least one first search engine to which to submit a representation of the query; determining whether the level of specificity of the received location data is sufficient for the at least one first search engine; if the level of specificity of the location data is sufficient, instructing the device to issue the representation of the query to the at least one first search engine; and if the level of specificity of the location data is not sufficient, instructing the device to send, to the at least one computer, location data at a greater level of specificity.

  • Publication number: 20070162855
    Abstract: A movie authoring process is disclosed which includes: selecting a theme, determining theme elements based on the theme selection, and adding the theme elements to a movie. An automated movie authoring process is also disclosed which includes: automatically capturing raw video footage from a video source; automatically dividing the raw video footage into video clips, wherein the video clips collectively constitute a movie; automatically determining one or more theme elements from a plurality of theme elements based on a selected theme; and automatically adding the one or more determined theme elements to the movie.

  • Patent number: 6782095
    Abstract: A general purpose network tone detection method and apparatus that allows the precise and accurate recognition of North American tones (MF, DTMF (Dual-Tone Multifrequency), and CPT (Call Progress Tones)) and international MF-R2 tones as well as taking into consideration other common tones such as Calling Card Service Prompt and Recall Dial. Through the use of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) on small time windows and by providing phase continuity between these windows, the results of the successive DFTs may be combined and processed by a second DFT computation. This second DFT allows higher frequency resolution without requiring the re-computation of the DFT from the time samples. The resulting effect is a tone receiver with both high time and frequency resolution which consequently leads to robust and accurate tone recognition systems conforming even to the most stringent specification while maintaining low computational requirements.
