  • Publication number: 20240111997
    Abstract: A system for configuring user-defined recognition patterns at an edge device using a hybrid cloud-edge device approach has a pattern recognition integrated circuit implementing a machine learning pattern recognizer that generates an event recognition output in response to an input thereto based upon pre-trained machine learning weights stored in a memory of the pattern recognition integrated circuit. A remote pattern recognition training service is in communication with a secondary user device receptive to a training input of the user-defined recognition patterns, and returns a set of training weights corresponding to the training input. An application interface connects the pattern recognition integrated circuit to the secondary user device, with the set of training weights returned to the secondary user device being transferable to the machine learning pattern recognizer for storage in the memory of the pattern recognition integrated circuit.

  • Publication number: 20240012729
    Abstract: A configurable monitoring and actioning system has one or more programmable edge devices each including a machine learning pattern recognizer, a sensor providing sensor input data to the pattern recognizer, and a memory storing pre-trained machine learning weight values for the pattern recognizer. Event detections are generated based upon evaluations of the sensor input data from the sensor against the pre-trained machine learning weight values. An application installable on a user device is in communication with each of the one or more programmable edge devices and executes predetermined actions based upon the event detection evaluations from the machine learning pattern recognizer.

  • Publication number: 20240005945
    Abstract: Discriminating between direct and machine-generated human voices is disclosed. A directly-generated voice audio sample from a human utterance and a machine-generated voice audio sample outputted by a loudspeaker from a pre-recording of another human utterance are captured on a microphone. Discriminative features between the directly-generated voice audio sample and the machine-generated voice audio sample are extracted with a machine learning classifier. A response to a command in the captured directly-generated voice audio sample or the captured machine-generated voice audio sample may be selectively generated.

  • Publication number: 20200128233
    Abstract: A mobile device is provided comprising a housing, at least two cameras supported by the housing and arranged to capture image data and a multi-view display. The multi-view display may be a lightfield display and may comprise a diffractive lightfield backlighting system. The multi-view display may be configured to display multi-view video derived from image data captured by the at least two cameras and optionally operate in at least one of a multi-view mode or a multi-dimensional display mode.

  • Patent number: 7023902
    Abstract: Techniques for scalable CDMA demodulation with maximum response latency are disclosed. In one aspect, a finger timing unit generates signals indicating cycle boundaries for a plurality of fingers, and an offline processing unit processes stored samples for those fingers in response to the signals. In another aspect, incoming samples are stored in a RAM, while finger timing is maintained using a plurality of counters. The RAM address is stored on symbol boundaries. Symbols for each finger are generated in an offline processing unit, clocked at a higher speed than the finger counters, from a RAM location computed using the stored RAM address. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects provide for decoupling of the chip rate processing from chip time, which allows a single offline processing unit to service a plurality of fingers, thus reducing additional hardware required to support additional fingers while maintaining maximum latency requirements.
