Abstract: A system including at least one computerized device with voice command capability processed remotely includes a low power processor, executing a loose algorithmic model to recognize a wake word prefix in a voice command, the loose model having a low false rejection rate but suffering a high false acceptance rate, and a second processor which can operate in at least a low power/low clock rate mode and a high power/high clock rate mode. When the first processor determines the presence of the wake word, it causes the second processor to switch to the high power/high clock rate mode and to execute a tight algorithmic model to verify the presence of the wake word. By using the two processors in this manner, the average overall power required by the computerized device is reduced, as is the amount of waste heat generated by the system.

Abstract: A system for management of distributed control and real-time data for an electric utility network having remote devices and legacy subsystems includes a distributed communications network and a plurality of nodes coupled to the distributed communications network. Each of the nodes includes a multi-protocol interface having a boundary protocol convertor comprising a protocol validation engine to validate messages and commands from the remote devices and an in-field distributed data analyzer. The multi-protocol interface provides a standard data model for the remote devices.
