  • Patent number: 11523339
    Abstract: Techniques for operating cellular internet of things (IoT) devices under a public cellular carrier are disclosed. During an active connection, the cellular IoT device's radio-controlling application can collect radio metrics by tapping into the diagnostics interface of IoT device's cellular modem to collect data regarding accumulative signal strength, block/bit error rate, and/or round-trip latency for the session, etc. During the active connection, battery and environmental information as well as application-based information can be collected and sent to a remote computing device. In an example, the cellular IoT device can be given revised or refined values for use in timers, which may be used by the device to more efficiently use idle and/or power-save modes to reduce battery power consumption. Moreover, the use of the timers may be extended to devices distinct from the cellular modem, thereby increasing the utility of the timers and the functionality of the IoT device.

  • Patent number: 11520687
    Abstract: A system for automating testing of an accessibility screen-reader for a software application includes an accessibility testing module. The accessibility testing module communicates a set of input commands to a user device in which the software application is installed. The set of input commands emulates a set of actions being performed on the software application. For each input command, an audio of a string of utterances is received when the accessibility screen-reader produces the audio. The audio is converted to a text of the string of utterances. The text is compared with a corresponding test string that is expected to be uttered by the accessibility screen-reader when a corresponding action is performed on the software application. If it is determined that the text matches the corresponding test string, it is concluded that the accessibility screen-reader uttered the corresponding test string that was expected to be uttered.

  • Patent number: 11519841
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter compensates or corrects for errors that otherwise would be present when a measurement is made on a condensation particle counting system with the only difference causing the errors being absolute pressure. The difference in absolute pressure may be due to, for example, a change in altitude in which the condensation particle counting system is located. Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed to compensate for changes in particle count, at a given particle diameter, for changes in sampled absolute pressure at which measurements are taken. Other methods and apparatuses are disclosed.
