Abstract: A speech recognition platform configured to receive an audio signal that includes speech from a user and perform automatic speech recognition (ASR) on the audio signal to identify ASR results. The platform may identify: (i) a domain of a voice command within the speech based on the ASR results and based on context information associated with the speech or the user, and (ii) an intent of the voice command. In response to identifying the intent, the platform may perform multiple actions corresponding to this intent. The platform may select a target action to perform, and may engage in a back-and-forth dialog to obtain information for completing the target action. The action may include streaming audio to the device, setting a reminder for the user, purchasing an item on behalf of the user, making a reservation for the user or launching an application for the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods dynamically generate content security policy (CSP) headers using CSP definitions having dynamic source values. When a request for a web application is received, a CSP definition corresponding to the web application and having a dynamic source value is retrieved from a repository of CSP definitions. A CSP header is generated based on the CSP definition. The CSP header includes a source value dynamically generated based on the dynamic source value and a domain associated with the requested web application. The CSP header is provided as a response header for the requested web application.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for self-healing content security policies (CSPs). In accordance with some aspects, CSP violation information is received identifying a CSP violation for a CSP header and a violating source for the CSP violation. The violating source for the CSP violation is compared against a list of trusted sources. Based on the comparison, a first trusted source in the list of trusted sources is identified as matching the violating source for the CSP violation. Responsive to identifying the first trusted source as matching the violating source, a CSP definition associated with the CSP header is caused to be updated to include a source value based on the violating source or the first trusted source to provide an updated CSP definition.

Abstract: A first circuit path communicates a first, asynchronous, signal, and a second path communicates a second signal. A schmoo delay circuit receives the first and second signals and includes shmoo control circuitry and a delay generator. The delay generator receives a delay selector signal from the shmoo control circuitry indicative of an amount of delay. The shmoo delay circuit provides a delayed version of at least one of the first or second signals. A first logic circuit receives the delayed version of the at least one of the first signal or the second signal, and a second logic circuit receives another one of the first signal or the second signal. The shmoo control circuitry modifies the delay selector signal to sweep through a set of different delay amounts applied by the delay generator to generate delayed versions of the at least one of the first signal or the second signal.

Abstract: A system and a method to create clusters in an area are disclosed. Initially, a set of location data points associated with a plurality of user devices in an area and a defined block area are received. Further, a rectangular boundary is created by connecting a first reference point, a second reference point, a third reference point, and a fourth reference point identified based on a latitude and a longitude of each user device. Furthermore, a set of blocks are created by dividing the rectangular boundary based on the defined block area. The set of blocks are sorted based on a number of location data points present in each block. Subsequently, the set of blocks are reconfigured by determining a centroid of a plurality of location data points present in each block. Finally, a plurality of clusters is created in the area upon marking the reconfigured set of blocks.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for recognizing a user are disclosed. A speech-controlled device captures a spoken utterance, and sends audio data corresponding thereto to a server. The server determines content sources storing or having access to content responsive to the spoken utterance. The server also determines multiple users associated with a profile of the speech-controlled device. Using the audio data, the server may determine user recognition data with respect to each user indicated in the speech-controlled device's profile. The server may also receive user recognition confidence threshold data from each of the content sources. The server may determine user recognition data associated that satisfies (i.e., meets or exceeds) a most stringent (i.e., highest) of the user recognition confidence threshold data. Thereafter, the server may send data indicating a user associated with the user recognition data to all of the content sources.
