Publication number: 20240105177Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a local assistant system responding to voice input using an ear-wearable device. The system detects a wake-up signal and receives a first voice input communicating a first query content. The system includes speech recognition circuitry to determine the first query content, speech generation circuitry, and an input database of locally-handled user inputs. If the first audio input matches one of the locally-handled user inputs, then the system takes a local responsive action. If the first audio input does not match one of the locally-handled user inputs, then the system transmits at least a portion of the first query content over a wireless network to a network resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Achintya Kumar Bhowmik, David Alan Fabry, Amit Shahar, Justin R. Burwinkel, Jeffrey Paul Solum, Thomas Howard Burns

Patent number: 11234547Abstract: The present invention relates to a removal aid used to assist in the removal of clothing items such as jackets, sweaters, shirts and the like. The aid is a device having a clamp with two sections that are pivotally joined together. Each section has a head that is elongated. The clamp has a lock for locking the clamp in a closed position. A pull has two ends, one of which is connected to a clamp section. The second end of the pull can have a loop. The pull is preferably a flexible pull. A user secures the device onto an end of a sleeve and locks the clamp with the lock. Then, the user places the loop over upon an object so that the pull pulls the arm portion of the garment off from the user's arm as the user moves away or twists relative to the object.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Inventor: Michael Paul Burns
