    Abstract: Techniques for transcribing and/or summarizing multimedia collaboration sessions are discussed herein. For example, users can communicate within a teleconferencing meeting associated with a channel. In some examples, a first machine learning model may be configured to receive audio-visual data and user interaction data (e.g., selected emojis, detected gestures, messages or text input by a user, a thread of messages, etc.) and output a teleconferencing meeting summary. In some examples, the teleconferencing meeting summary can include one or more highlights, action items, and/or artificial intelligence (AI) notes generated using a machine learning model(s).

  • Patent number: 11982474
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methodologies, systems and apparatus for cooling pump heads and providing balanced cooling and heat transfer between multiple pump heads. Multi-pump systems that are used to pump fluids that vary greatly in density with minor changes in temperature, such as the mobile phase of a C02-based chromatography system, require highly stable temperature conditions. In order to achieve a substantially equal average heat transfer between multiple pump heads and a coolant fluid, coolant fluid may be flowed through coolant passageways within the pump heads in a recursive and/or parallel coolant flow patterns. Such recursive and/or parallel coolant fluid flow patterns provide increased stability in temperature, compressibility, and density of the fluids passing through a multi-pump system.
