Publication number: 20220366277Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for automatic generative learned process coaching. One of the methods includes receiving interaction data for a user for interactions occurring in multiple software services used by the user during handling of a case. A case type of the case is determined and a machine learning model that includes learned model interaction behavior for the case type is identified. Interaction data for the user is compared to the learned model interaction behavior for the case type. Action data is generated for the user that includes an interaction behavior improvement recommendation that is determined based on the comparing of the interaction data for the user to the learned model interaction behavior for the case type. Action is taken based on the action data.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2021Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Alec DeFilippo, Michael Richter

Publication number: 20210402321Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning contaminated used oil, in which starting material is heated to the gas phase and the resultant vapor is rectified, with purified oil being removed as condensate from a drain in a rectification column. This enables efficient operation even in the smallest of systems, such that a compact system configuration and thus in particular mobile use by a container structure is made possible. The invention also reduces the cost required for servicing. The used oil is subjected to an evaporation process by at least indirectly placing the starting material in contact with a melting bath, the melting temperature of which is above the evaporation temperature but below the ignition temperature of the used oil, and by rectifying the vapor in the rectification column.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2019Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicant: BIOFABRIK HOYERSWERDA GMBHInventor: Michael RICHTER
