IPC: H01S3/23
Filed: 2017-05-08
Abstract: A method and a device for generating single and multiple bursts of laser pulses with a minimum time between the pulses in a single burst in the picosecond range. The device comprises a master oscillator 112 and a regenerative amplifier 110.

Title: Balance modifications of audio-based computer program output
Inventor: Laura Eidem
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2017-12-20
Abstract: A speech-based dialog system 102 allows selected chatbot content to be reused in other sessions by receiving a spoken request from device 104, parsing it into trigger keywords (eg. Recipe for chicken wings) using a Natural Language Processor 112, identifying a chatbot to invoke 114 (eg. recipe chatbot) and generating a content placeholder in a dialog data structure (eg. a particular brand A of cola in a list of recipe ingredients) to be filled in real time via transmission of a request to a content provider 106. An index 128 then maps a stored chatbot identifier, dialog data structure identifier and device identifier to a session identifier for session continuity reusing the same selected content (eg. Nearby movie theatres selling Brand A cola), thus allowing a Text To Speech synthesizer to seamlessly output spoken dialog using already user-matched native voice parameters.

Title: Poisoning protection for process control switches
Inventor: ALEXANDRE DA SILVA PEIXOTO
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2018-09-13
Abstract: A smart process control switch can implement a lockdown routine to lockdown its communication ports exclusively for use by devices having known physical addresses, enabling the smart process control switch to prevent new, potentially hostile, devices from communicating with other devices to which the smart process control switch is connected. The smart process control switch can implement an address mapping routine to identify "known pairs" of physical and network addresses for each device communicating via a port of the smart process control switch. If a new hostile device is able to spoof a known physical address in an attempt to bypass locked ports, the smart process control switch can detect the hostile device by checking the network address of the hostile device against the expected network address for the "known pair."
