Abstract: During an initial period of time, an HVAC controller stores a record of an energy demand of the HVAC system that corresponds to an amount of energy used to operate the HVAC system. For a future time period, an anticipated energy demand of the HVAC system is determined. The controller then recursively determines, for each of a plurality of time points within the future time period, an anticipated indoor humidity value using the anticipated energy demand and the record of the energy demand. The HVAC system is operated based at least in part on the anticipated indoor humidity value.

Abstract: An electrical switching device, such as a high-speed switching device, has a damper and latching assembly. The assembly is configured to dampen the movement of a moving contact of the switching device as the moving contact translates from its closed position to its open position. The assembly also is configured to restrain the moving contact in its open position. The assembly stores at least some of the energy associated with the damping process, and uses the stored energy to assist in the release of the moving contact during the subsequent re-closing of the switching device.

Abstract: A closing spring assembly for an electrical switching device is provided. The closing spring assembly is configured to exert a closing force on a moving contact of the switching device. The closing force helps to maintain physical and electrical contact between the moving contact and an associated stationary contact, so that the moving and stationary contacts form a path for conducing electric current through the switching device. The closing spring assembly is configured so that the closing force remains constant or decreases as the moving contact is driven away from the stationary contact during switching of the current path away from the moving and stationary contacts.

Abstract: An automated system and corresponding method is configured to predict a call duration of a customer service interaction between a caller and a customer-service agent of a call center, based at least in part on information provided orally by the caller to the automated system. The automated system transcribes the orally provided information, preprocesses the transcribed data, adds feature enrichment data to supplement the transcribed data, and executes a machine-learning model to predict the caller’s intent. If the predicted caller’s intent does not have an adequate confidence score associated therewith, the system requests additional data from the caller, and supplements the original data with newly provided data, and again determines a predicted call intent. This process may iterate until the confidence score satisfies applicable confidence criteria prior to utilizing two additional machine-learning models to predict a call duration of the interaction between the caller and a customer-service agent.

The method thereafter leads to dynamically marking, a priority for said each inter-datacenter data packet using an eBPF XDP techstack, based at least on the identified one or more target application flow policies. Further the method encompasses transmitting to an edge router, said each inter-datacenter data packet with the corresponding marked priority.

Abstract: To schedule a future interaction between a caller and a call-center, a management computing system associated with the call center is configured to determine an estimated call time for addressing the caller's issues, based at least in part on a predicted call intent as well as feature enrichment data received from one or more memory storage areas.

The management computing entity identifies one or more candidate timeslots based at least in part on the predicted call duration, and receives user input selecting a candidate timeslot for scheduling the callback.
