Patent GB-2533843-A (GB)
Title: Optical switches and methods of reducing cross-talk
Inventor: RAMSES PIERCO
IPC: H03K17/16
Filed: 2015-10-21
Abstract: When the piezoelectric actuator in one channel (channel 0) of an optical switch is charged or discharged, the flow of capacitive load current in supply or Earth line impedances may cause a disturbance in the output voltage of another channel (channel X). This cross-talk may be reduced by switching the output in smaller voltage steps (figure 2) or by placing non-switched channels into a high-impedance mode, thereby isolating their outputs from changes in the supply or Earth voltages. The two techniques may be combined. Several drivers may be integrated into a single IC.

Title: Collaborative voice controlled devices
Inventor: Victor Carbune
IPC: G10L15/22
Filed: 2017-09-13
Abstract: A device (eg. smartphone 104b) identifies a second device 104a (step A) configured to respond to a hotword or wake up phrase (eg. OK computer). Both devices then receive an audio utterance (B) from a nearby user which is processed (C, 122/124) to identify a hotword (126). The intended recipient device (104a, eg. the nearest) is identified in step D, which informs the first device (128) that it will respond to the utterance in step E by transcribing the command (eg. find steakhouses) and sending additional data (eg. search results for local steakhouses). The audio transcription (eg. Als is good) and web results are determined in step F and sent in step G. The first device 104b further responds based on additional data (eg. Als is busy, steps H & I), such that two devices are not simply responding in the same way to the same utterance.

Title: Generating a compact video feature representation in a digital medium environment
Inventor: HAO HU
IPC: H04N21/466
Filed: 2017-10-19
Abstract: Techniques and systems are disclosed to generate a compact video feature representation 118 for sequences of frames in a video 110. In one example, values of features 206 are extracted from each frame of a plurality of frames 120 of a video using machine learning, e.g., through use of a convolutional neural network. A video feature representation is generated of temporal order dynamics of the video, e.g., through use of a recurrent neural network. For example, a maximum value 218 is maintained of each feature of the plurality of features that has been reached for the plurality of frames in the video. A timestamp 220 could also be maintained as indicative of when the maximum value is reached for each feature of the plurality of features. The video feature representation is then output as a basis to determine similarity 116 of the video with at least one other video based on the video feature representation.
