Title: Low power detection of an activation phrase
Inventor: BENJAMIN JAMES KERR
IPC: G10L15/28
Filed: 2016-02-25
Abstract: A microphone system 102 comprises dedicated hardware logic 112 for detecting a pre-defined activation phrase in an audio stream received via a microphone 110. If the pre-defined activation phrase is detected, the hardware logic 112 sends a trigger signal to activate a module 104 which is external to the microphone system 102 and which may be in a low power standby state. The microphone system further comprises an amplifier which amplifies the received audio stream according to a gain parameter. In response to detecting the pre-defined phrase, the hardware logic sends a signal to increase a value of the gain parameter. The pre-defined phrase may comprise one or more spoken words or may be a sample of a contextual sound. The phrase may be an activation phrase for a voice controlled computing device 100. The external module 104 may be a main speech detection module implemented by a processor in the voice controlled computing device. Using hardware logic in the microphone system allows the processor within the computing device to be switched off or placed into a low power state. Consequently, the battery life of the voice controlled device can be extended.

Title: Securing device for animal chew
Inventor: JOHN KIRBY KENDALL
IPC: F16D1/12
Filed: 2018-01-28
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a securing device that secures an animal chew to prevent animal choking. The body of the device surrounds a cavity and possesses two boreholes along an axis. A chew with one or more boreholes may be inserted into the cavity so that a borehole aligns along the axis. A pin is then inserted in the first passageway along the axis, until it passes through the borehole and into the second passageway. A latch obstructs the head of the pin so that the animal cannot work the pin free while enjoying the chew. To remove the pin, the animal's caretaker can apply force to the end of the pin to push it free past the latch. Optionally, the user may need to push aside the latch while pushing the pin free.

Title: Systems and methods for rendering & pre-encoded load estimation based encoder hinting
Inventor: MICHAEL KOPIETZ
IPC: H04N19/85
Filed: 2018-04-20
Abstract: Systems and methods for hinting an encoder are disclosed in which a server monitors for information related to changes in frame rendering, calculates tolerance boundaries, rolling average frame time and/or short-term trends in frame time, using those calculations to identify a frame time peak. The server then hints a codec (encoder) to modulate the quality settings of frame output in proportion to the size of the frame time peak. In certain embodiments, a renderer records one or more playthroughs in a game environment, sorts a plurality of frames from one or more playthroughs into a plurality of cells on a heatmap, and collects the list of sorted frames. A codec may then encode one or more frames from the list of sorted frames to calculate an average encoded frame size for each cell in the heatmap, and associate each average encoded frame size with a per-cell normalized encoder quality setting.
