Filed: 2021-09-16
Abstract: A system can operate a speech-controlled device in a mode where the speech-controlled device determines that an utterance is directed at the speech-controlled device using image data showing the user speaking the utterance. If the user is directing the user's gaze at the speech-controlled device while speaking, the system may determine the utterance is system directed and thus may perform further speech processing based on the utterance. If the user's gaze is directed elsewhere, the system may determine the utterance is not system directed (for example directed at another user) and thus the system may not perform further speech processing based on the utterance and may take other actions, for example discarding audio data of the utterance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a modularly constructed radar fill-level measuring device (1) which can be made compact. For this purpose, according to the invention the high-frequency module (11, 12, 120) of said radar fill-level measuring device is preloaded within the device housing (131) by means of a spring element (130, 133) such that the waveguide segment (120) of the high-frequency module (11, 12, 120) is pressed against the corresponding high-frequency connection means (100) of the antenna assembly (10) with a corresponding force. A gap-free and thus low-interference connection of the high-frequency module (11, 12, 120) to the antenna assembly (10) by means of the waveguide segments (100, 120) is thereby ensured. This simplifies the modular design of the fill-level measuring device (1). The fill-level measuring device (1) can be made very compact particularly if the high-frequency module (11, 12, 120) is moved into the measuring-device neck (131) of the device housing (13) toward the antenna assembly (10).
