Title: System and method for teleconferencing exploiting participants' computing devices
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER DOUGLAS BLAIR
IPC: H04M3/56
Filed: 2019-02-22
Abstract: Audio connectivity is provided between several local participants 1 and a remote participant 11 by transmitting, to the remote participant, a single resultant audio stream that is formed by selectively merging audio received from microphones in several of the local participants’ devices (2-6) such as smartphones or laptops. The local participants are within earshot of each other, and sound may be generated by one device and received by others to determine their ability to participate in a call or to determine their relative position. The devices’ contributions to the single resultant stream may be determined by audio level or quality. Speech recognition algorithms 16 may be used to output a putative transcript and confidence score for each word or phrase, and the transcript and score may be used to determine which audio stream to add to the resultant audio stream. This method has applications to teleconferencing and to conference calls.

Title: Dynamic ventilation control for a building
Inventor: BHAVESH GUPTA
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 2022-01-13
Abstract: Appropriate ventilation for a building space while maintaining building comfort includes tracking one or more interior environmental conditions within the building space and one or more exterior environmental conditions outside of the building space during operation of the HVAC system. An environmental model for the building space is learned over time based at least in part on these tracked environmental conditions, where the environmental model predicts an environmental response of the building space to operation of the HVAC system under various interior and exterior environmental conditions. An appropriate ventilation rate that maintains adherence to one or more comfort parameters of the building space is determined by using the environmental model of the building space. The outdoor air ventilation damper of the HVAC system is controlled to provide appropriate ventilation.
