IPC Code(s): G10L15/22
Abstract: implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can operate as an interface between a user and a separate application to search application content of the separate application. the automated assistant can interact with existing search filter features of another application and can also adapt in circumstances when certain filter parameters are not directly controllable at a search interface of the application. for instance, when a user requests that a search operation be performed using certain terms, those terms may refer to content filters that may not be available at a search interface of the application. however, the automated assistant can generate an assistant input based on those content filters in order to ensure that any resulting search results will be filtered accordingly. the assistant input can then be submitted into a search field of the application and a search operation can be executed.

Abstract: the various embodiments of a rotationally-locking magnetic alignment system and components thereof are described herein, which enable position locking and self-alignment along stepwise rotational increments. in aspects, a rotationally-locking magnetic alignment system can include magnetic alignment components, where each magnetic alignment component can include an array of magnetic field-inducing components that possess a particular magnetic polarity such that a first magnetic alignment component can attract, magnetically couple, and positionally lock a complementary second magnetic alignment component. in implementations, the array of magnetic field-inducing components can be arranged in one or more patterns, within the first magnetic alignment component and/or the second magnetic alignment component, allowing for the first magnetic alignment component to be positionally locked at any number of stepwise rotational increments.

Abstract: the technology is directed to the use of a bitmap generated at a receiver to track the status of received packets sent by a transmitter. the technology may include a network device including an input port, output port, and circuitry. the circuitry may generate a transmitter bitmap that tracks each data packet sent to another network device. the circuitry of the network device may receive, from the other network device, a receiver bitmap that identifies each data packet that is received and not received from the network device. the circuitry may then determine which data packets to retransmit by comparing the transmitter bitmap to the receiver bitmap.

Abstract: the present disclosure provides computing systems in which respective quorums of computing nodes securely manage respective secrets associated with cryptographic ledgers according to threshold secret sharing schemes. in particular, membership in the quorums can be changed dynamically and unpredictability to improve security of the quorums against adversarial attacks in which adversaries attempt to compromise or gain control of the computing nodes. more specifically, by changing membership in the quorum dynamically and unpredictability, the ability of the adversary to control at any given time a threshold number of the current members of the quorum and gain access to the secret is dramatically reduced.

Abstract: automatically determining, with reduced (or no) input from the users of a group, a set of activity instances that the group of users has interest in performing. a representation of the set of activity instances can be rendered for consideration by a group, and the set of activity instances can be determined even when only limited criteria are specified. optionally, in response to affirmative user interface input(s) directed to a rendered representation of the set of activity instances, one or more of the activity instances of the set can be confirmed through limited input(s) of one or more users of the group. further, the automatic determination of the set of activity instances is optionally performed using one or more trained machine learning models that are trained to optimize a likelihood that the users of the group will find the set satisfactory.
