  • Patent number: 11983217
    Abstract: Implementations are provided for providing responsive audio recordings to user queries that are prerecorded by human beings, rather than generated automatically using speech synthesis processing. In various implementations, a query provided by a user at an input component of a computing device may be used to search a corpus of voice recordings From the searching, a plurality of candidate responsive voice recordings may be identified and ranked based on measures of credibility associated with speakers that created the candidate responsive voice recordings. Based on the ranking, one or more of the plurality of candidate responsive voice recordings may be provided for presentation to the user at an output component of the same computing device or a different computing device.

  • Publication number: 20180150804
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for utilizing non-RAM memory to implement a cache. A computerized maintenance management system transmits, to a first client device, a work order comprising an identification of a device for maintenance and a list of tasks associated with the work order. The system receives, from the first client device, an identifier associated with a service provider, a servicing time associated with the work order, and completion statuses associated with tasks of the list of tasks. The system stores the servicing time and the completion statuses and determines, based on an analysis of the servicing time, a likelihood that the one or more of the completion statuses were misstated. The system transmits, to a second client device, information associated with the work order based on the determined likelihood that the one or more completion statuses were misstated.

  • Patent number: 9863008
    Abstract: Soybean Event pDAB9582.816.15.1 comprises gene expression cassettes which contain genes encoding Cry1F, Cry1Ac (synpro), and PAT, affording insect resistance and herbicide tolerance to soybean crops containing the event, and enabling methods for crop protection and protection of stored products. The disclosure provides polynucleotide related event detection methods. The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting a new insect resistant and herbicide tolerant transgenic soybean transformation event, designated Soybean Event pDAB9582.816.15,1. The DNA of soybean plants containing this event includes the junction/flanking sequences described herein that characterize the location of the inserted DNA within the soybean genome. SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID N0:2 are diagnostic for Soybean Event pDAB9582.816.15.1.

  • Patent number: 9732353
    Abstract: This invention relates to soybean event pDAB8264.42.32.1 and includes novel expression cassettes and transgenic inserts comprising multiple traits conferring resistance to glyphosate, aryloxyalkanoate, and glufosinate herbicides. This invention also relates in part to methods of controlling resistant weeds, plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. In some embodiments, the event sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. This invention further relates in part to endpoint TAQMAN PCR assays for the detection of Event pDAB8264.42.32.1 in soybeans and related plant material. Some embodiments can perform high throughput zygosity analysis of plant material and other embodiments can be used to uniquely identify the zygosity of and breed soybean lines comprising the event of the subject invention. Kits and conditions useful in conducting these assays are also provided.
