Abstract: A service provider receives a request to obtain a text-based transmission. In response to the request, the service provider generates an identifier corresponding to the request and, based at least in part on the identifier and text to be included in the transmission, determines a set of textual transformations to associate with the identifier. The service provider modifies the text in accordance with the set of textual transformations and provides the modified text to the requestor as the text-based transmission.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a spoken utterance that includes a plurality of words, and generating, using a neural network-based utterance classifier comprising a stack of multiple Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) layers, a respective textual representation for each word of the of the plurality of words of the spoken utterance. The neural network-based utterance classifier trained on negative training examples of spoken utterances not directed toward an automated assistant server. The method further including determining, using the respective textual representation generated for each word of the plurality of words of the spoken utterance, that the spoken utterance is one of directed toward the automated assistant server or not directed toward the automated assistant server, and when the spoken utterance is directed toward the automated assistant server, generating instructions that cause the automated assistant server to generate a response to the spoken utterance.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting a continued conversation are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving first audio data of a first utterance. The actions further include obtaining a first transcription of the first utterance. The actions further include receiving second audio data of a second utterance. The actions further include obtaining a second transcription of the second utterance. The actions further include determining whether the second utterance includes a query directed to a query processing system based on analysis of the second transcription and the first transcription or a response to the first query. The actions further include configuring the data routing component to provide the second transcription of the second utterance to the query processing system as a second query or bypass routing the second transcription.

Abstract: A system for providing tracking and compensating end users for time spent at a defined location is provided. The system includes a server in communication with a business user component of various modules, an end user component of various modules, and a database storing system specific information. The modules include event creation to define events by location, with geofencing or beacon(s), and location modules to communicate location of an end user device in relation to the event location. A compensation module is configured to generate timestamps for entry, exit, and continued attendance of the end user within the event location, and to award compensation to the end user based on such timestamps. Advertising and commerce modules allow advertising such as coupons to be created on the system, which an end user may purchase with awarded compensation. The system may also include social media aspects for further interaction among end users.

Abstract: A preferred multi-panel skirt system for a cargo enclosure includes two pair of forward and aft skirt panels with each pair located on an opposite lateral sides of the enclosure. In each pair, the forward skirt panel extends along the bottom wall generally in the lengthwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, which is located adjacent to and aligned with or positioned laterally inboard of a lateral side edge of the enclosure. An aft skirt panel extends along the bottom wall generally in the lengthwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge aft of the forward skirt panel, which trailing edge is located adjacent to and aligned with or positioned laterally inboard of the lateral side edge of the enclosure. The leading edge of the aft skirt panel is positioned laterally inboard of the trailing edge of the forward skirt panel.

Abstract: A rear fairing assembly for a cargo enclosure includes a fairing bracket configured to be coupled to an enclosure wall of the cargo enclosure. In addition, the rear fairing assembly includes a separate fairing skin supported relative to the enclosure wall via the fairing bracket.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for creating toolpaths for parts in Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) include a method including: storing information regarding toolpaths used previously to manufacture parts using CAM systems and techniques, selecting stored toolpaths for use with a new part based on similarity of one or more features of the new part to one or more features of one or more previous parts, and using the selected toolpath(s) as a starting point for use in generating a new toolpath for the new part.

Abstract: Various aspects include audio eyeglasses with through-hinge wiring configurations. In particular aspects, audio eyeglasses include: a frame for resting on a head of a user, the frame comprising: a lens region; a pair of arms extending from the lens region; and a hinge coupling the lens region and one of the pair of arms, the hinge comprising: a body; a friction element coupled to the body for damping the movement of the arm relative to the lens region; and a cavity within the body, the cavity sized to accommodate a cable extending therethrough, the hinge permitting movement of the arm relative to the lens region; and an electro-acoustic transducer at least partially housed in the frame and comprising a sound-radiating surface for providing an audio output.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for lifecycle management of multiple storage clusters are disclosed. A first set of data is loaded into a first storage cluster. The first storage cluster is selected for loading the first set of data based at least in part on the first set of data and the first storage cluster being associated with a first period of time. The first storage cluster is placed into a read-only state. A second set of data is loaded into a second storage cluster. The second storage cluster is selected for loading the second set of data based at least in part on the second set of data and the second storage cluster being associated with a second period of time.

Abstract: A system and method for protecting personal information on prescription medicine container labels which includes a label configured for relocating a removable printed label panel to a different location where it bonds over the personal information and thereby uncovering a pre-marked array of fake information intended to mimic authentic information to misdirect and hinder thieves from accessing the authentic personal information.
