  • Patent number: 11423095
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing action-recommendations (e.g., save action, collaboration action, and upload action) using cloud system operations in a cloud system. For example, action-recommendations are predicted using usage data of applications and communicated to a user (e.g., via a prompt) such that the user elects to perform or not perform the action-recommendation. In operation, usage data for an application and an action-recommendation profile are accessed. Determining that an action-recommendation should be generated is based on the usage data and the action-recommendation profile. The determination is further based on action scores and thresholds (e.g., save action, collaboration action, upload action). When the action scores meet certain thresholds, the action-recommendation is generated as a save-action-recommendation, a collaboration-action-recommendation, or an upload-action-recommendation.

  • Publication number: 20220153168
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a traction battery and a controller. The controller, responsive to some cells of the traction battery achieving a first state of charge threshold, discharge other cells of the traction battery, each having a capacity greater than each of the some of the cells, to a second state of charge threshold that is greater than the first state of charge threshold without discharging the some of the cells. The controller then charges all of the cells at the same time such that the some of the cells and the other of the cells achieve a same predetermined target state of charge at a same time.

  • Publication number: 20220149448
    Abstract: A shareable battery pack for a portable ultrasonic apparatus, a trolley, a power supply system, and a portable ultrasonic system. The trolley can be connected to the portable ultrasonic apparatus and/or the shareable battery pack to supply power so as to extend operation time. Alternatively, the trolley is used to support the portable ultrasonic apparatus and/or the shareable battery pack without supplying power to extend operation time. In an embodiment, the shareable battery pack can be removed from the trolley, and then be fixedly connected to the portable ultrasonic apparatus to form an integral unit and serve as an external battery for the portable ultrasonic apparatus. Such design enables the portable ultrasonic apparatus to have extended operation time without relying on the trolley and requires only one shareable battery pack in special situations, thereby enhancing convenience of use.

  • Patent number: 11138211
    Abstract: A system for determining qualified contributors of a document is provided. A system can analyze user activities associated with a document to provide meaningful insights indicating the key contributors of the document based on a contributor policy. The contributor policy defines contribution factors and criteria that is used to determine when a user is deemed as a qualified contributor. The contribution factors can be used in an analysis of one or more user activities to determine a contribution score for each user associated with a document. The contribution scores of the users can be compared with a threshold to identify qualified contributors. The identified users are listed as qualified contributors of the document and associated with the document in the metadata. The contributor information can be utilized to inform readers of the document, identity expertise of these contributors, or recommend relevant documents to the contributors.

  • Patent number: 10943148
    Abstract: A system employs an inspection neural network (INN) to inspect data generated during an inference process of a primary neural network (PNN) to generate an indication of reliability for an output generated by the PNN. The system includes a sensor configured to capture sensor data. Sensor data captured by the sensor is provided to a data analyzer to generate an output using the PNN. An analyzer inspector is configured to capture inspection data associated with the generation of the output by the data analyzer, and use the INN to generate an indication of reliability for the PNN's output based on the inspection data. The INN is trained using a set of training data that is distinct from the training data used to train the PNN.

  • Publication number: 20200296510
    Abstract: Sound devices such as hearing aids and headphones configured for intelligent information capturing are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a sound device is a hearing aid or a noise-canceling headphone. The sound device includes a microphone, a speaker, a processor, and a memory containing a set of sound models each corresponding to a known sound. Upon receiving a digital sound signal representing an ambient sound captured via the microphone, the sound device can determine whether the digital sound signal includes a signal profile that matches the sound signature of one of the sound models stored in the memory. In response to determining that the digital sound signal has a signal profile that matches the sound signature of one of the sound models, the sound device can output, via the speaker, an audio message to the user identifying the known sound while suppressing the captured ambient sound from the environment.

  • Publication number: 20200160537
    Abstract: Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with motion flow estimation are provided. For example, scene data including representations of an environment over a first set of time intervals can be accessed. Extracted visual cues can be generated based on the representations and machine-learned feature extraction models. At least one of the machine-learned feature extraction models can be configured to generate a portion of the extracted visual cues based on a first set of the representations of the environment from a first perspective and a second set of the representations of the environment from a second perspective. The extracted visual cues can be encoded using energy functions. Three-dimensional motion estimates of object instances at time intervals subsequent to the first set of time intervals can be determined based on the energy functions and machine-learned inference models.

  • Publication number: 20200142545
    Abstract: A contribution management system and process for facilitating the identification of individual users who have made contributions to an electronic content item, and the extent of that contribution. As an example, a reader may review the list of contributors with a representation of their relative degree or amount of contribution to the document, and also allow for access to other documents that have been developed by the identified contributor. These tools can provide collaborative document users the ability to more clearly distinguish casual contributors or non-contributing owners of the document from higher-level contributors whose authorship has significantly shaped the content. In addition, the listing or identification of top contributors can be configured to facilitate communication between an interested reader and the identified contributor, which increases the ease with which members of larger organizations can collaborate, seek mentorship, or develop useful relationships.

  • Publication number: 20190079946
    Abstract: In example embodiments, a server stores, in one or more data repositories, a plurality of files that are accessible to a first user of a client device. The server computes, for each file in the plurality of files, a score representing a likelihood that the first user will access the file. The server determines that, for one or more files from the plurality of files, the score exceeds a threshold. The server caches the one or more files in a local cache memory of the client device in response to determining that the score exceeds the threshold.
