Title: Ranking search result documents
Inventor: MIKE BENDERSKY
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2017-09-27
Abstract: The application relates to determining how to present documents, such as emails, as search results following a search query 552. Documents responsive to the query are identified 554, including an email sent to a user. A document feature of the email is identified based on its from or subject field 556. A query feature of the query is also identified. A query dependent measure for the email is generated based on the quantity of past interactions with other documents having the document feature in response to past queries having the query feature 558. A presentation characteristic for an email search result is determined based on the query dependent measure 566, and used to present the email search result to the user 568. The email may instead be any access restricted document accessible to the user and a designated group of others. In this case the other documents include documents not accessible to the user. Alternatively, the method may be applied to any document. In this case the other documents include both the document itself and additional documents. The method may be used to rank responsive documents as search results when limited history of interaction with the responsive documents is available.

Title: Method and apparatus for replaying a missing voice stream portion at a late entry subscriber device
Inventor: YONG TIAN
IPC: H04W76/40
Filed: 2015-05-08
Abstract: Missed voice stream portions are replayed at a late entry subscriber device (SD) in a wireless radio network The SD joins a voice call on a radio channel via a base station and detects that it is late to the call. The SD continues to receive a remaining portion of the call and plays back the portion of the call. The SD detects an end of the voice call， and (i) transmits a request message including an indication of a first duration of the portion of the call received or (ii) detects a similar message from another SD. The SD then receives an indication of a total duration of the voice call and calculates a third duration as a function of the total duration and the first duration. The SD receives and plays back the missed portion of the call for the third duration.

Title: Vehicle cleaning
Inventor: VENKATESH KRISHNAN
IPC: B60W40/08
Filed: 2018-06-25
Abstract: A vehicle includes a compressor 42; first and second accumulators 44, 46 fluidly connected with the compressor; a first nozzle 48 directed at a first sensor 40 and fluidly connected with the first accumulator; a second nozzle 50 directed at a second sensor 40 and fluidly connected with the second accumulator; an occupancy sensor (38; fig. 2) and a computer in communication with the compressor, the accumulators, and the occupancy sensor. Upon determining that the vehicle is unoccupied (i.e. empty, operating autonomously with no passengers) based on data received from the occupancy sensor, the computer instructs the compressor to pressurize the accumulators of the vehicle. This allows compressed gas, e.g. air, to be stored for cleaning the sensors (e.g. camera, radar, laser range finders or light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensors) and may prevent the noisy running of the compressor when there are passengers. The compressor may also be controlled to run or remain idle based on the detected pressure of the accumulator, the time for the vehicle to travel to a preset destination (e.g. calculated using a global position system (GPS)), and/or the detected obstruction of a sensor (e.g. by dirt, dust, precipitation, debris etc.).
