  • Publication number: 20230072242
    Abstract: A health condition or change in health condition of a person may be determined by processing the person's speech with a neural network. Speech from more than one time period may be processed and, in some implementations, speech from a time period may be associated with a health condition label. For each time period, a feature vector may be computed from the speech and the feature vector may be processed with a neural network to obtain a speech embedding vector. In some implementations, feature vector may include word-piece encodings and the neural network may be a transformer neural network. The speech embedding vectors may be processed with a mathematical model to determine a change in a health condition between two time periods or to determine a health condition label for a specific time period. In some implementations, the mathematical model may be a regression model or a fully-connected neural network.

  • Publication number: 20230053883
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to changing a status of a device responsive to detecting an anomaly. A traffic pattern of a device may be monitored across a network. It may be determined that the monitored traffic pattern deviates from an expected traffic pattern of the group of devices by a threshold. Responsive to determining that the devices deviates from the expected traffic pattern, packet data transmitted by the device may be inspected. It may be determined that the inspected packet data transmitted by the device is anomalous. The status of the device may be changed responsive to determining that the packet data transmitted by the device is anomalous.

  • Publication number: 20230039029
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting a failure in a redundant signal path during operation of the redundant path is disclosed. A test signal is sequentially injected into each signal path while an input signal is conducted by the other signal path not receiving the test signal. The test signal is selected at a frequency to verify operation of a filter connected in series along each path. A processor generates the test signal, injects the test signal at the input of the filter, and receives the output of the filter. The processor then generates a frequency response of the filter in each signal path as a function of the output from the filter and of the original test signal. The frequency response obtained along each of the redundant signal paths is compared to each other to detect a failure of one of the filters present along the respective signal paths.
