  • Publication number: 20230259952
    Abstract: A system and method that allows use of a product to review its users and generates a report summarizing how closely the product has been used according to its intended use. The product includes on-board and associated I-o-T sensors to differentiate between different users of the same product and provide data correlating usage how the product is used by each user. The system and method provide recommendations regarding how a typical behavior of each user can change during its use to optimize a product's its function, lifespan, efficiency. The report additionally serves to evaluate how effective each user is at rating the product by creating a feedback evaluation report and reliability score for each user, giving weight to basically all product reviews that the user may have submitted on other products. All customer reviews submitted online by a given user can be linked, for example by username, IP address, etc.

  • Patent number: 11179539
    Abstract: Systems and methods to facilitate sleep are described. In on example, a cognitive alarm clock system for children learns sleep patterns and activities towards recommending sleep schedules and teaching independence. The system may detect the cognitive state of a child based on voice or cry pattern recognition, a time of day or night, scheduled activities, and social context, among other factors. The system may initiate actions to facilitate sleep in response to the cognitive factors. For example, the system may adjust lighting or push back a wakeup time. In another example, the system may use the cognitive analysis to teach children good sleeping habits by making recommendations to facilitate a good night's rest and encourage independence.

  • Patent number: 11133026
    Abstract: A natural language processing system for analyzing speech includes a computer processing device configured to receive recorded speech of a person. The computer processing device constructs a baseline speech model of the person, the baseline speech model of the person including a property of speech based on a personal attribute of the person, compares current recorded speech of the person to the baseline speech model of the person to determine a deviation of the property of speech therebetween, and determines if the deviation of the property of speech meets a threshold of the property of speech that is defined for a disorder.

  • Patent number: 10953329
    Abstract: A cohort associated with a user is identified. A virtual object is generated according to the cohort. An augmented reality setting of a location is generated in relation to the user. A context of the location is determined. The virtual object is modified in the augmented reality setting according to the context and the cohort.

  • Patent number: 10935951
    Abstract: In an electrical power outlet device, a processor and a memory are configured to execute an application within the outlet device, which computes a pattern of usage of the outlet device. A set of sensors in the outlet device includes a first sensor that is usable to detect an event in an environment in which the outlet device is supplying power. The environment includes elements that are not participating in an electrical circuit that receives power from the outlet device and the event is usable by the application to alter the pattern of usage. An autonomous modification of an operation of the outlet device is performed in response to the pattern of usage, the event, or both. The operation changes a power supplying state of the outlet device without using an external switching apparatus or an external logic implemented outside the outlet device.

  • Patent number: 10677659
    Abstract: A method and a structure for a low temperature thermometer is provided. The present invention may include a method of determining an ambient temperature is below a transition temperature, the method including measuring a magnetic field of a magnetic field source, where a superconducting film is positioned between a magnetic field sensor and the magnetic field source, where the superconducting film has the transition temperature, Tc, based on determining the measured magnetic field approximately equals an expected magnetic field of the magnetic field source, outputting a first state of a switch, wherein the first state of the switch indicates the ambient temperature is above the Tc, based on determining the measured magnetic field is less than the expected magnetic field, outputting a second state of the switch, where the second state of the switch indicates the ambient temperature is below the Tc.
