  • Publication number: 20240124120
    Abstract: Assemblies and methods for facilitating the assembly of aircraft wings to a fuselage are disclosed. In some embodiments, a wing unit includes features that are configured to define one of more parts of a pressure vessel that is partially defined by the fuselage portion. In some embodiments, the aircraft assemblies disclosed herein comprise one or more first structural interfaces that permit positional adjustment between the wing unit and the fuselage portion so that one or more second structural interfaces may be finished only after such positional adjustment. In some embodiments, the aircraft assemblies disclosed herein comprise one or more structural interfaces that are disposed outside of the wing unit in order to eliminate or reduce the need for assembly personnel to access the interior of the wing unit to carry out the structural assembly of the wing unit to the fuselage portion.

  • Patent number: 11956236
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking the privacy policy of an electronic device in a network having a privacy policy server and an authentication server are provided. In one aspect a privacy policy server receives a connection request from the electronic device, queries an authentication server for the device's privacy policy acceptance state. If the device had not accepted the network's privacy policy, the privacy policy server sends a URL to the device so the device may accept or reject the policy. The authentication server locates a network session identifier representing the device's connection with the network and response to the policy server indicating the device's current privacy policy acceptance state if applicable. Advantageously, a network session identifier can track a device's privacy policy acceptance state when the device reconnects with the network. The systems and methods are applicable in wireless networks, such as 802.11.

  • Patent number: 11087092
    Abstract: Approaches for determining a response for an agent in an undirected dialogue are provided. The approaches include a dialogue generating framework comprising an encoder neural network, a decoder neural network, and a language model neural network. The dialogue generating framework generates a sketch sentence response with at least one slot. The sketch sentence response is generated word by word and takes into account the undirected dialogue and agent traits of the agent making the response. The dialogue generating framework generates sentence responses by filling the slot with words from the agent traits. The dialogue generating framework ranks the sentence responses according to perplexity by passing the sentence responses through a language model and selects a final response which is a sentence response that has a lowest perplexity.

  • Publication number: 20200071925
    Abstract: A collapsible container designed for usage as a living space is disclosed. The collapsible container may comprise a top wall, a base, two end walls, and two side walls. When collapsed, the two end walls may fold inwards towards the base. At least one end wall of the two end walls may comprise a first opening to be used as a door or a window. The two side walls may be adapted to fold in middle, along lengths of the two side walls. The two side walls may be folded using at least one top hinge, middle hinge, and a bottom hinge present on each side wall of the two side walls. Further, the at least one side wall of the two side walls may comprise a second opening. Each of the two side walls comprises a safety device adapted to refrain the side walls from collapsing when erected.
