Technology is described for controlling a heterogeneous sensor node network. The method can include obtaining sensor data from a plurality of sensors which include a plurality of sensor modalities in sensor nodes. The sensor data may be combined in a joint feature space that represents multimodal input. Another operation may be detecting features from the sensor data using the joint feature space. Neighboring sensor nodes may be identified to receive the features. A further operation may be sending the features to other sensor nodes in a sensor node network.

Technology is described for modifying an accent of a person using a communication channel, which can comprise receiving message data from a sender to be sent across a computer network to a recipient. The message data can be converted to a defined accent. The message data with the defined accent can be converted to an output format. The message data in the output format can be sent to the recipient to be reproduced for the recipient. Technology is also described for modifying an accent, which can comprise receiving message data representing human speech from a sender. Individual words in the message data can be parsed by identifying electronic waveforms of the individual words. The electronic waveforms of individual words can be modified from an original accent to electronic waveforms that represent a replacement accent. The message data can be sent to a recipient across a computer network for audible output.

Technology is described for modifying the speed of an output of a modified message that uses machine learning, comprising receiving message data from a sender to be sent to a recipient. Errors in the message data can be corrected using a normalization service to provide a corrected message. The message data can be converted to and output format, such as a second language using a machine learning translation service. Another operation can comprise setting a speed factor for the message data to be output at a defined rate. The message data can then be sent to the recipient to be reproduced for the recipient at the defined rate.

Technology is described for adding inserted message data into machine learning modified communications. The method can include receiving message data from a sender to be sent to a recipient. Another operation may be estimating a conversion time to convert the message data to a second language that is different than a language of the sender, using a machine learning translation service. A message insert may be provided or identified that approximates the conversion time. The message insert to be reproduced for the recipient may be sent. The message data may be sent to the recipient as converted to the second language.

A compact displacement sensor comprises a light intensity pattern object, a micro-lens array and an imaging device including a light-intensity measuring surface. The micro-lens array is disposed between the light intensity pattern object and the imaging device such that each micro-lens focuses a corresponding sub-image making up a portion of the light-intensity pattern on the light-intensity measuring surface to create thereupon an image of the object comprising an array of focused sub-images. The displacement sensor can provide high resolution measurements of displacement of the light intensity pattern object from a reference position by registering subsequent images captured after a change in relative position between light intensity pattern object and the imaging device to a reference image based on pattern portions in the focused sub-images.
