  • Patent number: 12670920
    Abstract: A data processing system implements receiving a far-end signal associated with a first computing device participating in an online communication session and receiving a near-end signal associated with a second computing device participating in the online communication session. The near-end signal includes speech of a target speaker, a first interfering speaker, and an echo signal. The system further implements providing the far-end signal, the near-end signal, and an indication of the target speaker as an input to a machine learning model. The machine learning model trained to analyze the far-end signal and the near-end signal to perform personalized noise suppression (PNS) to remove speech from one or more interfering speakers and acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) to remove echoes. The model is trained to output an audio signal comprising speech of the target speaker. The system obtains the audio signal comprising the speech of the target speaker from the model.

  • Patent number: 12584356
    Abstract: A power head of a directional drill includes a main motor, gearbox, main shaft, active drill pipe, and water swivel. The gearbox has a driving shaft connected to the main motor and engaged with the main shaft via a gear. One end of the main shaft is fixedly connected to the active drill pipe, while the other end of the driving shaft links to an angle adjuster through the gearbox, enabling efficient toolface adjustment and braking of the main motor. The water swivel mandrel connects to the active drill pipe via a connecting shaft with an axial floating structure. A connecting sleeve near the water swivel forms a hexagonal sleeve sliding pair with the connecting shaft, preventing axial impacts on mandrel support bearings during drilling. This design enhances the service life of the bearings and reduces equipment repairs, improving the reliability and efficiency of the drilling process.

  • Publication number: 20250378816
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for training and using a total duration-aware (TDA) model to control the duration of speech utterances by a text-to-speech computing system when converting text into speech. During use, text to be converted into speech and target output speech time duration are used as inputs into the TDA model. The text is then tokenized into phonemes, and the TDA model predicts frame durations for each phoneme. The TDA model is trained on phonemes derived from text, corresponding actual frame durations for the phonemes, and a target output speech time duration. The TDA model masks a subset of the actual frame durations, and generates predicted frame durations for the subset. A loss between the actual and predicted frame durations is calculated, and used to adjust parameters of the TDA model to control future generation of predicted frame durations.
