Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a method, system and apparatus to improve a user's understanding of speech in real-time conversations by processing the audio through a neural network contained in a hearing device. The hearing device may be a headphone or hearing aid. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to an apparatus to enhance incoming audio signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for generating graphical displays of analyte data and/or health information. In some implementations, the graphical displays are generating based on a self-referential dataset that are modifiable based on identified portions of the data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for centralized validation of potential network calls, such as calls proposing database transactions, on a distributed system. The distributed system may include multiple systems that apply independent criteria for validating proposals, which criteria may not be available external to the individual systems. Moreover, the systems may lack an ability to validate proposals prior to submitting such proposals for commitment. A centralized network call parameter validation system as disclosed herein may validate potential network calls with high confidence by applying probability models of data pattern and hashing digit checksum to potential network call parameter values, which models are generated based on statistical analysis of historical network call values.

Abstract: An ear-worn device may include two or more microphones configured to generate time-domain audio signals, each of the two or more microphones configured to generate one of the time-domain audio signals; processing circuitry comprising analog processing circuitry, digital processing circuitry, beamforming circuitry, and short-time Fourier transformation (STFT) circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to generate, from the time-domain audio signals, one or more frequency-domain non-beamformed audio signals and one or more frequency-domain beamformed signals; and enhancement circuitry comprising neural network circuitry configured to receive multiple frequency-domain input audio signals originating from the one or more frequency-domain non-beamformed audio signals and the one or more frequency-domain beamformed signals, and implement a single neural network trained to generate, based on the multiple frequency-domain input audio signals, a noise-reduced and spatially-focused output audio signal or an output

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

Abstract: A method of configuring a graphics processing unit includes generating configuration data that specifies a configuration to be adopted by the graphics processing unit. The configuration data is received at the graphics processing unit, which is configured in accordance with the configuration data by writing the configuration data into one or more registers of the graphics processing unit. It is determined whether the graphics processing unit is correctly configured in accordance with the configuration data by determining whether the configuration data has been correctly written into the one or more registers of the graphics processing unit. An error is determined to have occurred in response to determining that the graphics processing unit is not correctly configured in accordance with the configuration data.
