  • Publication number: 20250016261
    Abstract: An anonymous system for communicating with a vehicle subscriber employs an interface device that is coupled with the vehicle. A third party, or communicator may want to communicate with the vehicle subscriber and use their mobile phone to interface with the system through the interface device. The communicator can then send a message, such as a text message, to the vehicle subscriber regarding their vehicle. The communicator's mobile device is linked with the system and a communication input is then opened on their mobile device. A message menu may allow the communicator to select a message for delivery to the vehicle subscriber. The communication from the communicator passes from the communicator's mobile device, through the system and then to the subscriber. An interface device may be a machine-readable code attached to the vehicle to allow a communicator's mobile device to scan the machine-readable code and be linked with the system.

  • Publication number: 20250014983
    Abstract: An electrical component is provided by metallizing holes that extend through a glass substrate. The electrical component can be fabricated by forcing a suspension of electrically conductive particles suspended in a liquid medium through the holes. The suspension can be forced into the holes under an air pressure differential such as a pressure differential force, a centrifugal force, or an electrostatic force. The liquid medium in the holes can be dried, and the particles can be sintered. The particles can further be packed in the hole. Alternatively or additionally, the particles can be pressed against the outer surfaces of the substrate to produce buttons.

  • Publication number: 20250013680
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each query word of a query to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a query word of the query. The method further includes determining that a first query word is associated with a first query command. When selecting the first query command, the method further includes interpreting remaining sets of identigens to produce a query entigen group that represents a most likely meaning interpretation of remaining query words. The method further includes accessing a knowledge database utilizing the query entigen group to obtain entigen information and outputting a response based on the entigen information and the first query command.
