US Patent:

56921942, Nov 25, 1997

Filed:

May 24, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/069053

Inventors:

Ha T. Nguyen - Anaheim CA
Willard H. Barrett - Garden Grove CA

Assignee:

Hughes Aircraft Company - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

395680

Abstract:

A number of program modules (32,34,36) are sequentially controlled by a procedural user interface (PUI) 38 and an operating system (40) to perform tasks. Transfer of files or other data entities between the modules (32,34,36) and a storage (13) is seamlessly integrated by a sequential information integration service (SIIS) (50). For reading a file from the storage (13), a the PUI 38 or the operating system (40) generates a read command including a filename designation which can include a pathname, complete filename or wildcard characters. The read command can also include one or more arguments such as a user or group access code and an error message to display if the required file is not found. In an automatic mode, the service (50) automatically selects the most recent file corresponding to the filename designation and arguments, or displays the error message if a file meeting these criteria is not found. In a manual mode, the read command includes a manual selection argument which controls the service (50) to display a list of files (64) corresponding to the filename designation and arguments in a dialog box or window (60) for manual selection.

Appl. No.:

17/196285

Inventors:

- Burbank CA, US
Ha Thanh Nguyen - Fullerton CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 40/47
G06F 40/58
G10L 15/16
G10L 15/00

Abstract:

A method and system for automated voice casting compares candidate voices samples from candidate speakers in a target language with a primary voice sample from a primary speaker in a primary language. Utterances in the audio samples of the candidates speakers and the primary speaker are identified and typed and voice samples generated that meet applicable utterance type criteria. A neural network is used to generate an embedding for the voice samples. A voice sample can include groups of different utterance types and embeddings generated for each utterance group in the voice sample and then combined in a weighted form wherein the resulting embedding emphasizes selected utterance types. Similarities between embeddings for the candidate voice samples relative to the primary voice sample are evaluated and used to select a candidate speaker that is a vocal match.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide a mesh network having nodes connected via both wired and wireless connections, at differing data rates. Each node of the invention also has a plurality of interfaces and a backhaul network. The invention provides a method of managing the mesh network such that at least one node is capable of being in communication with a plurality of other nodes within the network and send and receive packets to other nodes without being hampered by differing protocols, standards, or data rates.

Abstract:

Applications for a Content Engagement Power (CEP) value include directing live actors during a performance, for experience in a real or virtual theater. The CEP is computed based on biometric sensor data processed to express audience engagement with content along multiple dimensions such as valence, arousal, and dominance. An apparatus is configured to perform the method using hardware, firmware, and/or software.
