  • Patent number: 11972095
    Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. Such heavy integration also allows particular embodiments to support multi-modal input from a user for a single conversational interaction. In this way, client application user interface interactions, such as clicks, touch gestures, or text inputs are executed alternative or in addition to the voice utterances.

  • Patent number: 11957829
    Abstract: A system comprises a negative-pressure source including a pump and an electric motor for maintaining negative-pressure at the wound and a pressure sensor for sensing a wound site pressure (WP). The system further comprises a system controller coupled to the first pressure sensor and the electric motor. The system controller maintains the wound site pressure (WP) within a hysteresis band by the application of power to the electric motor from a battery power source, based upon, at least in part a flow rate (FR) of fluid between the pump and the wound site as determined by the system controller. The hysteresis band including a maximum wound site pressure (WPMax) and a minimum wound site pressure (WPMin).

  • Publication number: 20240119150
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting malicious files includes a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor receives multiple potentially malicious files. A first potentially malicious file has a first file format, and a second potentially malicious file has a second file format different than the first file format. The processor extracts a first set of strings from the first potentially malicious file, and extracts a second set of strings from the second potentially malicious file. First and second feature vectors are defined based on lengths of each string from the associated set of strings. The processor provides the first feature vector as an input to a machine learning model to produce a maliciousness classification of the first potentially malicious file, and provides the second feature vector as an input to the machine learning model to produce a maliciousness classification of the second potentially malicious file.

  • Publication number: 20240111745
    Abstract: A method includes performing a search of an inverted index structure indexing values of a column to generate an in-range indexed value set by identifying all indexed values of the inverted index structure falling within a range corresponding to a range-based filter. A set of characteristics of the in-range indexed value set are identified based on performing the search of an inverted index structure. When the set of characteristics compare favorably to the set of index-usage requirements, output is generated based on performing a plurality of searches to the inverted index structure based on the in-range indexed value set. When the set of characteristics compare unfavorably to the set of index-usage requirements, the output is generated without performing any searches to the inverted index structure.

  • Patent number: 11941491
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to be executed by a processor. The code includes code to cause the processor to receive a structured file for which a machine learning model has made a malicious content classification. The code further includes code to remove a portion of the structured file to define a modified structured file that follows a format associated with a type of the structured file. The code further includes code to extract a set of features from the modified structured file. The code further includes code to provide the set of features as an input to the machine learning model to produce an output. The code further includes code to identify an impact of the portion of the structured file on the malicious content classification of the structured file based on the output.

    Abstract: A system and method for managing virtual queues. A cloud-based queue service manages a plurality of queues hosted by one or more entities. The queue service is in constant communication with the entities providing queue management, queue analysis, and queue recommendations. The queue service is likewise in direct communication with queued persons. Sending periodic updates while also motivating and incentivizing punctuality and minimizing wait times based on predictive analysis. The predictive analysis uses “Big Data” and other available data resources such as schedule data and historical throughput data for various resources associated with an entity, for which the predictions assist in the balancing of persons across multiple queues for the same event or multiple persons across a sequence of queues for sequential events.
