  • Patent number: 12055656
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart-device-based radar system capable of detecting a frame-of-reference change. In particular, a radar system includes a frame-of-reference machine-learned module trained to recognize whether or not the radar system's frame of reference changes. The frame-of-reference machine-learned module analyzes complex radar data generated from at least one chirp of a reflected radar signal to analyze a relative motion of at least one object over time. By analyzing the complex radar data directly using machine learning, the radar system can operate as a motion sensor without relying on non-radar-based sensors, such as gyroscopes, inertial sensors, or accelerometers. With knowledge of whether the frame-of-reference is stationary or moving, the radar system can determine whether or not a gesture is likely to occur and, in some cases, compensate for the relative motion of the radar system itself.

  • Patent number: 12050709
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for controlling access to an organization's data in a multitenant environment are provided. An organization hierarchy is defined at a multitenant platform, the organization hierarchy comprising an organization and a plurality of sites owned by the organization, each of the plurality of sites representing a data isolation boundary for the organization's data. The sites are associated with subscriptions to applications of the multitenant platform. The organization can designate user partitions within the sites, each user partition designating a corresponding set of site users and a corresponding authentication service. The multitenant platform enables access to each subscription of a site only if a site user is authenticated by the authentication service designated in the user partition corresponding to the site user.

  • Publication number: 20240231505
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that facilitate ambient computing using a radar system. Compared to other smart devices that rely on a physical user interface, a smart device with a radar system can support ambient computing by providing an eye-free interaction and less cognitively demanding gesture-based user interface. The radar system can be designed to address a variety of challenges associated with ambient computing, including power consumption, environmental variations, background noise, size, and user privacy. The radar system uses an ambient-computing machine-learned module to quickly recognize gestures performed by a user up to at least two meters away. The ambient-computing machine-learned module is trained to filter background noise and have a sufficiently low false positive rate to enhance the user experience.

  • Patent number: 12019736
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for using metadata tag compression. A method occurs at a metadata processing system for enforcing security policies in a processor architecture. The method comprises: receiving, at the metadata processing system, a short tag associated with a word in memory; translating the short tag, using a tag map, into a long tag, wherein the short tag indicates a location of the long tag relative to an offset in the tag map and wherein the long tag indicates a memory location containing metadata associated with the word or an instruction; obtaining the metadata from the memory location; and determining, using the metadata, whether the word or the instruction violates a security policy.

  • Patent number: 11992622
    Abstract: A humidification system for delivering humidified gases to a user can include a heater base, humidification chamber having an inlet, outlet, and associated fluid conduit, and breathing circuit including a supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit. The humidification system can include various features to help make set-up less difficult and time-consuming. For example, the supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit can be coupled into a one-piece circuit to aid set-up. Various components can be color-coded and can have corresponding structures to indicate which components should be connected to one another during set-up. Such features can also help make the set-up process more intuitive for an operator, which can reduce the need for specialized training and reduce the number of potential errors.

  • Patent number: 11957968
    Abstract: A batting training aid includes a base, a vertically-extending brace or leg supported by the base, and a plane attached to an upper end of the brace via a joint. The brace allows for adjustment of the height of the plane, while the joint between the plane and the brace allows the plane to roll, pitch, and/or yaw to mimic optimal swing planes for different pitch locations/angles and batter heights. The training aid can incorporate a batting tee for tee work and/or a resistive medium to approximate contact during dry swings. A guide bar can be provided above the plane to prevent a hitter from swinging down on the ball. Sensors can be incorporated into the training aid to measure one or more swing metrics, such as bat speed; data collected by the sensors can be transmitted to external devices such as smartphones, tablets, personal computers, and the like.

  • Patent number: 11906619
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart-device-based radar system capable of detecting user gestures in the presence of saturation. In particular, a radar system employs machine learning to compensate for distortions resulting from saturation. This enables gesture recognition to be performed while the radar system's receiver is saturated. As such, the radar system can forgo integrating an automatic gain control circuit to prevent the receiver from becoming saturated. Furthermore, the radar system can operate with higher gains to increasing sensitivity without adding additional antennas. By using machine learning, the radar system's dynamic range increases, which enables the radar system to detect a variety of different types of gestures having small or large radar cross sections, and performed at various distances from the radar system.
