  • Patent number: 11749268
    Abstract: A “SOUND ID SYSTEM” comprise a Device with a microphone that continuously monitors the surrounding environment. Pre-recorded personalized or unique sound patterns, signatures, and/or key words, and/or their derivatives, are stored in the Device. When such a pre-determined pre-recorded sound pattern, signature, or key words, or their derivatives, are recognized by the Device, a corresponding pre-determined action or action sequence will be sent to the Cloud, or other devices, to execute. Such other devices can attach, co-habitat, and wired/wirelessly connect to the Device, or share some components with the Device. If the Device does not recognize any particular pre-recorded sound pattern, signature or key words, or their derivatives, then the Device will not transmit to disclose to any outside device or other entity, any monitored sound information.

  • Publication number: 20230084827
    Abstract: A dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing service path design microservice (ddSPDmS) can provide a scalable self-contained meta-data driven approach for a flexible implementation of a dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) service path design solution. The service plan design solution can be used as a standalone solution or integrated with a network management application. In order to manage a large volume of circuit designs, multiple microservices can accept application program interface (API) requests in a cloud environment. Permission can then be given to any application to use the API to make a call to the design and inventory. Additionally, metadata templates can be designed to support a node, a link, and/or a topology for the microservices.
