Patent number: 11922942Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for generating response templates for natural language processing. In various examples, a first knowledge graph comprising a plurality of entities may be received. First text data may be received for a first response template, the first text data defining a natural language input configured to invoke the first response template. A response definition may be received for the first response template, the response definition defining a response associated with the first response template. Natural language input data may be received. A determination may be made that the natural language input data corresponds to the natural language input configured to invoke the first response template. The first response template may be configured to generate natural language output data.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Emre Can Kilinc, Thomas Reno, John Zucchi, Joshua Kaplan

Patent number: 11062700Abstract: A method comprising receiving first data representative of a query received by an electronic device. Device characteristic data indicative of at least one characteristic of the electronic device is received. It is determined, using the device characteristic data, that the electronic device is authorized to access a first portion of at least one knowledge graph, which is an access-controlled portion. The at least one knowledge graph also includes a second portion which is a non-access-controlled portion. The first data is sent to at least the first portion of the at least one knowledge graph. Second data is received from the first portion of the at least one knowledge graph. The second data is representative of an answer to the query. Answer data representative of the answer to the query is generated using the second data.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pooria Azimi, Zachary Philip Pearson Feinn, Thomas Reno, Ivgeni Segal, John Zucchi

Patent number: 10793723Abstract: Methods and systems for coating metal substrates are provided. The methods and systems include a powder coating composition comprising a polymeric binder and an application package. The application package includes at least one antistatic component and at least one post-blended component. Use of the application package reduces back ionization and faraday cage effects during electrostatic application. The described methods provide coatings with optimal surface smoothness and edge coverage.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: The Sherwin Williams CompanyInventors: Thomas Reno, Robert Breitzman

Patent number: 8752678Abstract: A disc brake is arrangeable in a space that accommodates a brake caliper having an application device. The brake caliper is held slidably with guiding elements on a brake carrier, which is fastened with screws to an axle connection at the vehicle. The caliper straddles a brake disc, against which brake pads can be pressed on either side while braking. At least the brake pad on the application side is mounted movably in the direction of the brake disc in a pad shaft of the brake carrier. A device for the visual identification of the wear of a brake pad and/or brake disc is constructed so that for identifying wear, a pointer element, extending in the opposite direction to the brake disc, is connected at least at one screw.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2011Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Markus Gruber, Thomas Reno
