Abstract: Systems and methods for generating encoded text representations of spoken utterances are disclosed. Audio data is received for a spoken utterance and analyzed to identify a nonverbal characteristic, such as a sentiment, a speaking rate, or a volume. An encoded text representation of the spoken utterance is generated, comprising a text transcription and a visual representation of the nonverbal characteristic. The visual representation comprises a geometric element, such as a graph or shape, or a variation in a text attribute, such as font, font size, or color. Analysis of the audio data and/or generation of the encoded text representation can be performed using machine learning.

Abstract: A method of powering a controller using an intermediate device with power from an environmental system may include receiving current from a power wire from the environmental system; passing the current from the power wire to a second command wire from the controller; monitoring the current flowing between the power wire and the second command wire while the current is below a threshold indicative of an amount of current used to power the controller from the environmental system; detecting when the current flowing between the power wire and the second command wire exceeds the threshold indicating that the controller is sending a command to the environmental system to perform the function; and sending a command to environmental system using a first command wire from the environmental system after detecting that the current exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely resetting networked devices is disclosed. The system can comprise a primary network connection and a secondary network connection to provide communications redundancy. The system can also include physical connections between networked devices to enable devices to be reset regardless of the type of error. The method can include monitoring one or more parameters of a device to determine what type of error is occurring and what action to take. The system can enable a first computer (or other electronic device) to restart applications, adapters, and services on a second computer (or other electronic device). The system can also enable the first computer to reset or restart the second computer. The system can enable networked computers to monitor and restore operation to other computers on the same network without human intervention.

Abstract: Adaptive automated testing methods and systems are disclosed. In an embodiment, an automatic test controller of an automated test system may collect a log of a plurality of actions executed by a plurality of devices of the automated test system and apply a heuristic to the log as the automated test system operates to determine whether to execute a next action by a device of the automated test system. When the next action is to be executed, the automatic test controller automatically directs the device to execute the next action. Otherwise, the automatic test controller indicates the next action was intentionally skipped by recording such omission in the log and automatically skipping the next action.

Abstract: A smart-home device may include a housing, a printed circuit board (PCB) inside the housing, an environmental sensor mounted to the PCB inside the housing, and a gasket that encloses the environmental sensor inside the housing to isolate the environmental sensor from an atmosphere inside of the housing while allowing an atmosphere outside of the housing to enter the gasket such that the environmental sensor can measure an aspect of the atmosphere outside of the housing.

Abstract: Woven irrigation tubing comprising a woven, extrusion coated & laminated tube formed of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) outer layer, a low density polyethylene (LDPE) middle layer and a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) inner layer. The finished tubing is treated for ultraviolet resistance. The tubing is tied off at a distal end with a proximal end connected to a pressurized irrigation source. Watering holes are created in the tubing at spaced intervals and the resulting water streams are directed into parallel plowed furrows. The tubing is completely recyclable. The tubing is formed by manufacturing tape for the woven outer tubing cover, stretching the tape along its length to strengthen it, weaving the outer layer from the tape, flattening the woven outer layer, extrusion coating each surface of the outer layer with LDPE, laminating the LLDPE inner layer to the LDPE, reversing and winding the tubing for storage and distribution.
