  • Patent number: 12289350
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for secure, privacy-preserving access to electronic conferencing. In one or more implementations, a server may receive a request to contact an account via a service, the request including a service-specific alias for the account. The service-specific alias may be configured for contact with one or more devices associated with the account via a set of services. The server may allow or deny contact with the one or more devices associated with the account via the service, based on whether the service is included in the set of services for the service-specific alias. In one or more implementations, the service is an electronic conferencing service.

  • Publication number: 20250103051
    Abstract: A method for constructing episodic memory model based on rat brain visual pathway and entorhinal-hippocampal structure mainly applied to environment cognition and navigation of an intelligent mobile robot to complete tasks of environment cognition map construction and target-oriented navigation is provided. The image information of the environment, the head-direction angle and speed of the robot are collected, and then the head-direction angle and speed of the robot are input into the entorhinal-hippocampal CA3 neural computational model to obtain the robot's precise position. The visual information is input into the computational model of the visual pathway to obtain the scene information in the current vision of the robot. The above two kinds of information are fused and stored in a cognitive node with the topological relationship.

  • Patent number: 12229039
    Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems are disclosed for automatic generation of dynamic application trace logs associated with a running application. A log viewer presents application log entries associated with an application execution log having been generated in connection with a previous execution of the running application. The application execution log is analyzed to identify application execution log context descriptors. The application execution log context descriptors are extracted from the application execution log. The application execution log context descriptors are transmitted to the running application. Matching templates that match each of the one or more application execution log context descriptors are received from the running application. The tracing templates that have an associated context relevance score are received from the running application.

  • Publication number: 20250045586
    Abstract: The application provides a method and apparatus for accelerating deep learning inference based on a HW-aware sparsity pattern. The method may include determining a hardware-aware sparsity pattern based on a register width specified by an ISA of a hardware unit for implementing the DNN for deep learning inference, the sparsity pattern specifying a block size and a sparsity ratio for block-wise sparsification of a weight matrix of an operator in the DNN; performing the block-wise sparsification for the weight matrix based on the sparsity pattern to obtain a sparse weight matrix, during a training process of the DNN; compressing the sparse weight matrix into a concentrated weight matrix by removing all-zero blocks from the sparse weight matrix; and generating a mask to indicate an index of each row of non-zero blocks in the sparse weight matrix to enable extraction of corresponding elements from an activation matrix of the operator.

  • Patent number: 12129566
    Abstract: A method for preparing hydrogen sulfide from sulfur dioxide by electrochemical reduction includes electrochemically reducing sulfur dioxide absorbed in an aqueous solution into gaseous hydrogen sulfide with a membrane electrode, resulting in efficient and selective conversion of the sulfur dioxide absorbed in the aqueous solution into the hydrogen sulfide to avoid a deactivation of a cathode due to colloidal sulfur produced on the cathode and adhesion onto a surface of the cathode, wherein the method is carried out at ambient temperature and normal pressure without addition of a reducing agent, having no waste salts produced, and is simple in operation, and is convenient for large-scale application.

  • Publication number: 20220247705
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for secure, privacy-preserving access to electronic conferencing. In one or more implementations, an electronic device may obtain a service-specific alias that is specific to a device-identified set of services. The service-specific alias may be separate from an account alias for an account and configured to allow or deny communications to one or more devices associated with the account via the set of services. In one or more implementations, the service-specific alias is associated with a conferencing service and a conferencing session. An initiating user can provide an invitation to the conferencing session with the service-specific alias, so that participants can contact the initiating user via the service-specific alias for permission to join the conferencing session (e.g., without revealing the permanent contact information of the initiating user). In this way, the privacy of the initiating user can be preserved.

  • Publication number: 20220132285
    Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide for receiving a registration request for registering and associating phone numbers for at least one service on a particular device, where the registration request includes information related to a phone authentication certificate (PAC) that was generated for the particular device. The PAC authenticates that each of the phone numbers is associated with the particular device. The subject system performs an authentication of user identifiers associated with the particular device based at least on the PAC. The subject system performs a registration of at least one service for the particular device using the authenticated user identifiers, in which the registration includes at least one respective handle for accessing the at least one service via each respective user identifier. The subject system transmits to the particular device, information related to the at least one respective handle for accessing the service via each respective user identifier.
