  • Patent number: 12271658
    Abstract: An example process includes: displaying, on a display of an electronic device, an extended reality (XR) environment corresponding to a copresence session including the electronic device and a second electronic device; while displaying the XR environment: sampling, with a microphone of the electronic device, a first audio input; determining whether the first audio input is intended for a first digital assistant operating on an external electronic device; and in accordance with a determination that the first audio input is intended for the first digital assistant: causing the first digital assistant to provide an audible response to the first audio input, where the audible response is not transmitted to the second electronic device over a shared communication channel for the copresence session.

  • Patent number: 4775630
    Abstract: A novel alteration of a viral DNA sequence, derived from a human adenovirus type 3 mutant (Ad3) designaed Ad3h15, provides a transcriptional control element which can be used to regulate expression of a selected gene in animal and human cells. The Ad3h15 control element blocks transcription of a controlled gene in the presence of the products of the Ad3 E1A gene, and amplifies transcription in the presence of type 5 (Ad5) adenovirus E1A gene products.
