Improved Contextual Grounding By Combining Multiple Speech Transcription Hypotheses, Manaal Faruqui, Vishal Verma, Aditya Gupta

Defensive Publications Series

Processing a user’s voice command includes parsing the command to derive the components referred to therein. These identified components or arguments are then mapped to items or objects in the real world in a process known as “grounding.” In some cases, transcription inaccuracies can make it infeasible for a virtual assistant or other application to achieve accurate grounding, thus making it impossible to service the user’s command. This disclosure describes techniques to improve grounding by taking into account the top N highest-likelihood transcriptions for a user’s voice command along with contextual information accessed with the user’s permission. Improved query interpretation …

Using Agglomeration To Optimize The Data Pipeline And Reduce Waste In A Digital Ink Press, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure relates to the field of digital front ends and how they may be used to enhance the

throughput through the digital back end and reduce waste in a digital ink press. By smartly aggregating

frames together into a super‐frame in the DFE, the overhead through the backend pipeline is reduced

proportionally by the aggregation multiple. Further additional processing and tracking of these frames

can allow for additional markings, pen health ink optimization, and capability improvement while being

non‐disruptive to the customer and factory workflow.

Quality Route Planning For Alternative Transport Modalities, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

Bicyclists, pedestrians, and other non-motorized road-users have different concerns about the surrounding traffic and environmental factors, e.g., air quality, bicycle lane-widths, types, and speeds of adjacent traffic, etc., than regular (automobile) commuters. Such additional considerations are not usually accounted for in traditional vehicle routing by digital map or navigation applications. This disclosure describes techniques of route-planning that optimize safety and overall convenience for alternate transport modalities such as bicycle, open-top vehicles, non-motorized vehicles, etc. and for pedestrians. The techniques leverage location data, traffic data, street-level imagery, aerial imagery, etc., and assign a score to a travel route based on expected …

Observing User Engagement, Kentaro Hara

Defensive Publications Series

Content creators can be paid for user engagement by third party observers based on user engagement with their content. However, observers cannot determine user engagement when user agents do not permit access to content consumption history. This disclosure describes web-primitives that enable user agents such as browser applications to enable measurement of user engagement in a privacy-preserving manner. The described primitives are generic enough to enable third party observers to implement tokens based on user engagement, while disabling third-party access to the user’s content consumption history.

Fff Casting With Curable Materials, Johan Versteegh, Siert Wijnia, Bas Van Deursen, Lars Rossing

Defensive Publications Series

A mould is printed using an FFF printing technique. The mould is filled with curable material. The building of the mould and the filling of the mould is performed simultaneously. So for example first a number of mould layers is printed using FFF to create a specific height, and then that height of the mould is filled with a curable material. Next, the curable material is cured using e.g. UV light. This process is repeated until the complete mould is build and filled. The mould can be manufactured using PVA which can dissolve in water.

Device Roaming Between Instances Of A Distributed Service, Andre Surcouf, Mohammed Hawari

Defensive Publications Series

In a classical deployment, a service can be implemented as several instances of the same application (e.g., the same code) all running in parallel. Some specific applications, such as for connected vehicles, can involve several instances of the same application running on well-defined compute nodes that are physically located at different locations. In some instances, it may be desirable (e.g., for performance reasons) for a connected vehicle to connect to a nearby application instance (i.e., having a smallest round trip time (RTT)). This typically involves a user disconnecting from a current instance, finding or being redirected to another instance, establishing …

Automatically Switching Query Response Modality Based On Physical Gestures, Alexander James Faaborg, Shengzhi Wu

Defensive Publications Series

When a user is using earbuds to receive device audio, responses to spoken queries are delivered to the earbuds in audio format. Audio delivery can be slower and inefficient compared to the user looking at the same response on a screen. Moreover, long responses delivered as audio can be cognitively difficult to process. Further, it is difficult to skim the content of a long response or skip portions, when the response is delivered as audio. This disclosure describes techniques that enable a user to perform a physical gesture in response to which the query response is provided on the screen …
