Abstract: Processor(s) of a client device can: identify a textual segment stored locally at the client device; process the textual segment, using a speech synthesis model stored locally at the client device, to generate synthesized speech audio data that includes synthesized speech of the identified textual segment; process the synthesized speech, using an on-device speech recognition model that is stored locally at the client device, to generate predicted output; and generate a gradient based on comparing the predicted output to ground truth output that corresponds to the textual segment. In some implementations, the generated gradient is used, by processor(s) of the client device, to update weights of the on-device speech recognition model. In some implementations, the generated gradient is additionally or alternatively transmitted to a remote system for use in remote updating of global weights of a global speech recognition model.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for creation of a test tool that uses publicly available SIM information to generate and load a test eSIM profile to eUICC. The test profile mirrors the non-sensitive network attach mechanisms for any given MNO to work in a predefined lab environment with network emulator. The test eSIM profile is not limited to use with to the SIM's specific OS and hardware. Rather, the eSIM profile package format is a publicly defined file format designed to be interoperable in all eUICC capable mobile devices. The test tool described herein may therefore eliminate bottlenecks and external dependencies faced by manufacturers and MNOs by allowing manufacturers and MNOs to validate profiles, networks, and devices for a wide variety of configurations.

Abstract: Dynamically adapting provision of notification output to reduce distractions and/or to mitigate usage of computational resources.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for increasing resolution in wearable heads-up displays (WHUD) are described. A WHUD includes a support structure, a scanning laser projector (SLP), a fold mirror, a split mirror, an optical splitter, and an optical combiner. When the WHUD is worn on the head of a user, the optical combiner is positioned in a field of view of the user.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for reducing or avoiding interference between communications of one base station-user equipment pair and communications of another base station-user equipment pair. A first user equipment can monitor a timing offset between the communications and send the timing offset to a first base station that services the first user equipment. The first base station time advances a window of time during which it receives uplink signals from the first user equipment. The base station also sends a time advance value and instructions to the first user equipment to advance a window of time during which the first user equipment transmits uplink signals to the first base station. The timing advance value is based on the timing offset value determined by the first user equipment. Thus, a gap period between uplink and downlink windows is increased, thereby reducing interference.
