Abstract: A method for the correction of synchronization errors ?t in the measurement of the impedance of an electrical or electrochemical component, more particularly a lithium ion cell is provided. In general, synchronization errors in an impedance measurement can arise between the excitation and response signals, which can misrepresent the phase of the impedance value obtained. According to the method, the synchronization error can be determined by measuring the impedance at two different frequencies and solving an optimization problem in respect of the deviation of the phases from an equivalent circuit diagram, which comprises at least one resistance and an inductance. The phase of the impedance value obtained can be corrected in this way.

Abstract: A dialog system and intelligent personal assistant capable of semantic-understanding mapping between user intents and machine services includes an interface to receive a voice or text request from a user. Semantics of the request including at least one of entities, intent, or context are extracted from the user's request. A sequence of action features is selected based on the extracted semantics. A sequence of application programming interfaces (APIs) corresponding to the sequence of action features is then executed to generate a result. An action sequence optimizer may optimize the sequence of action features based on user configuration. The examples provide a technical solution to model a richer semantic-understanding mapping between user intents and available APIs, that will be greatly improving user experience in the spoken dialogue system, as core of personal assistant.
