  • Patent number: 11929069
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are described related to automated assistants that proactively incorporate, into human-to-computer dialog sessions, unsolicited content of potential interest to a user. In various implementations, based on content of an existing human-to-computer dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, an entity mentioned by the user or automated assistant may be identified. Fact(s)s related to the entity or to another entity that is related to the entity may be identified based on entity data contained in database(s). For each of the fact(s), a corresponding measure of potential interest to the user may be determined. Unsolicited natural language content may then be generated that includes one or more of the facts selected based on the corresponding measure(s) of potential interest. The automated assistant may then incorporate the unsolicited content into the existing human-to-computer dialog session or a subsequent human-to-computer dialog session.

  • Patent number: 11218004
    Abstract: An arrangement having a multifunctional connection for energy storage cells or energy consumers provides at least one device for charge equalization and/or a measuring device for measuring an electrical voltage of energy storage cells or energy consumers; an electrical bridging element between two electrically insulated conductors; and a trigger circuit for activating the bridging element. One of the two electrical conductors is connected or is connectable to a first pole in an electrically conductive manner, and the other electrical conductor is connected or connectable in an electrically conductive manner to a second pole of the energy storage cell or of the energy consumer. The device for charge equalization and/or the measuring device is connected to the electrical connection of the bridging element. The electrical connection can thus be used simultaneously for triggering the bridging element and for the charge measurement and/or the charge equalization.

  • Publication number: 20110067357
    Abstract: A machine for wrapping individual round crop bales with plastic film as they are rolled along the ground is disclosed having a frame, with an arm situated over the center of the bale, a rotating arm, attached to the end of the frame arm, a holder for the film roll attached to the rotating arm, allowing the roll to turn as the film feeds out, a roller mounted to the frame to push and roll the bale on the ground on its horizontal axis, as it is wrapped by the rotating arm, rotating on a vertical axis, resulting in a completely wrapped bale. In the preferred embodiment, the machine is mounted on the three point hitch of a tractor, with the rotating arm powered by the tractor hydraulics, and an optional “ground” roller mounted to the frame to support the wrapper close to the ground while wrapping.

  • Patent number: 4500323
    Abstract: An increased reaction velocity is achieved when gasifying a raw carboniferous material with H.sub.2 O. The raw material is suspended or emulsified in a liquid aqueous solution of a catalytically active salt, and the amount of the catalytically active salt and the pressure are such that the aqueous solution is maintained in the liquid phase.
