Abstract: A server identifies, by parsing through code of an online page associated with a contact center system, information related to offerings associated with the online page. The server identifies a set of intents based on the information, at least a portion of the set of intents corresponding to at least one of headers or menu items of the online page. The server updates the set of intents based on supplemental information accessible via a hyperlink from the online page. The server transmits the updated set of intents to a first user device. The server receives an acceptance of a subset of the updated set of intents from the first user device. The server stores, in an intent data repository, the accepted subset of the updated set of intents.

Abstract: An apparatus which is helpful in teaching a person how to ride a bicycle. The apparatus is connected to a bicycle and has balance rods extending from the apparatus. The apparatus increases the ability of the new rider to balance. The balance rods can be adjusted by changing the length the balance rods are extended, where the length of extension is decreased to reduce the effect of the apparatus as the new rider learning to ride the bicycle becomes more proficient.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating an antenna providing a coverage area using beamforming and carrier aggregation techniques. The proposed system aims to optimize the use of carrier aggregation for beamforming systems. The system may include a beamforming module coupled to first array and second arrays of radiating elements, the first array being configured to provide wireless coverage on a first frequency carrier in a first coverage area, and the second array being configured to provide wireless coverage on a second frequency carrier in a second coverage area. The beamforming module may be configured to receive one or more indicators associated with one or more user equipments (UEs) in the coverage area. Based on the one or more indicators, the beam-forming module may be configured to dynamically adjust, in the RF domain, at least one of a location of the second coverage area and a size of the second coverage area.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment system includes one or more aeration tanks for receiving wastewater, a controller for controlling the amount of air delivered to each of the one or more aeration tanks by a blower assembly, and a sensor assembly for periodically measuring values corresponding to the amount of dissolved oxygen in at least one of the one or more aeration tanks. When the sensor assembly measures values that are less than a low setpoint value, the controller causes the blower assembly to incrementally deliver more air until the sensor assembly measures values that are not less than the low setpoint value. When the sensor assembly measures values that exceed the low setpoint value, the controller causes the blower assembly to incrementally deliver less air until either the sensor assembly measures values that are not greater than the low setpoint value, or the blower assembly reaches a preselected low operating threshold.

Abstract: The invention as depicted in a preferred embodiment is a retrofitted automated truss assembly jig setting system and one or more removable plank units used therewith. Removable plank unit includes a pair of drive motors each connected to a motor plate that is fixed to the bottom surface of a plank. A pair of rods extends along the length of the plank and each is operatively connected to a motor such that activation of a motor rotates a rod. Puck assemblies are carried by rods and are linearly transposed along rods when motors are activated. A computerized control system is operatively connected to provide for automated positioning of pucks. Planks on existing truss assembly tables may be removed and replaced with removable plank units to turn a traditional truss assembly jigging table into an automated truss assembly jigging table.

Abstract: A method is provided for locking a chain in a locking device. The method includes sliding a chain along a surface of a chain-locking device until contacting another surface of the chain-locking device. Subsequently, the chain is slid along the contacted surface until reaching the end of the contacted surface. At the end, or in close proximity thereto, the chain passes, or falls, or is slid into a slot of the chain-locking device to lock the chain in place. A method is also provided for coupling together a pair of portable-corral members. A portable-corral panel is provided as having a panel support structure, and a portable-corral door connected to and within the panel support structure such as to be generally flush with the panel support structure when in a closed posture.

Abstract: A cellular communications antenna including sensors for determining position and/or orientation of the antenna. Position information may be obtained using, for example, a GPS receiver or by triangulation. Orientation information may be obtained using, for example, an electronic compass and/or gyroscope and/or an inclinometer. Position and/or orientation information may be utilised locally to control attributes of the antenna or may be communicated to a central controller which may control attributes of the antenna. Signals may be sent to a central controller to indicate that an attribute of the antenna is outside a desired range.

Abstract: There is provided a cellular antenna allowing mechanical azimuth adjustment in combination with adjustment of one or more other antenna attribute such as electrical down tilt, electrical beam width or electrical azimuth adjustment. An integrated control arrangement is provided which can utilise either serial, wireless or RF feed lines to convey communications. A multiband embodiment provides azimuth adjustment for both bands by utilising mechanical and electrical azimuth adjustment. Systems incorporating such antennas and methods of controlling them are also provided.

Abstract: A process for the detection of a defect of an automotive vehicle battery includes analyzing the time dependence of the discharge voltage across the terminals of the battery. This process has the steps of measuring at least two successive values of the discharge voltage of the battery, during the phase of cranking the engine of the automotive vehicle, for at least two consecutive top dead center points, taking a difference of the measured voltage values, and deducing therefrom whether the battery is charged or defective. The process is built into an electronic computer carried on board the automotive vehicle.
