  • Publication number: 20240068290
    Abstract: A movement damping device travels along a fixed track on roller wheels. Trolleys mounted on the roller wheels support the door along the track for movement of the door. Eddy-current interaction occurs between travelling magnets mounted on the device and fixed side plates of the track. The trolley moves horizontally as the roller wheels travel along horizontal support rails of the track. The track would be fixed to a supporting host structure and opposing side plates of the track support the respective rails. The trolley travels between the side plates when the door moves.

  • Patent number: 11880806
    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, systems and methods for automating recorded candidate assessments include receiving a submission for an available position including a question response recording for each of one or more interview questions. For each question response recording, a transcript can be generated by applying a speech-to-text algorithm to an audio portion of the recording. The systems and methods can detect, within the transcript, identifiers each associated with the personality aspects by applying a natural language classifier trained to detect words and phrases associated with the personality aspects of the personality model. Scores may be calculated for each of the personality aspects based on a relevance of the respective personality aspect to the respective interview question and detected identifiers. The scores can be presented within a user interface screen responsive to receiving a request to view interview results.

  • Patent number: 11687526
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for identifying user-specific content items and/or time-based content items, as well as techniques for providing the content items to the user. For instance, a remote system may receive first audio data from an electronic device, where the first audio data represents a request to identify content related to a topic. The remote system can then store the topic in a database and use the topic to identify the content. Later, the remote system can then receive second audio data from the electronic device, where the second audio data represents a request for the content. The remote system can then send third audio data to the electronic device that represents at least a portion of the content.
