  • Patent number: 11110476
    Abstract: A weighted multitube fluid dispenser designed to allow a user to efficiently dispense fluid stored in a bottle regardless of how they tilt the bottle. The weighted multitube fluid dispenser includes a bottle having an opening at a top end disposed opposite a bottom end and in communication with an interior designed to store liquid therein. A spray head is designed to secure overtop the opening via a rim. A hose extends from the spray head and splits into a plurality of tubes, each tube having an aperture at one end with a weight affixed. The spray head includes a nozzle in communication with the hose, and a trigger in communication with the nozzle. Thus, activating the trigger causes fluid in the bottle to traverse the plurality of tubes and exit through the nozzle, allowing the user to dispense the fluid regardless of how the bottle is tilted.

  • Publication number: 20200387551
    Abstract: In some examples, example-based ontology training for natural language query processing may include identifying, based on an analysis of a query by using an ontology, a term in the query that includes an unknown meaning. The query may be in a natural language format. Based on a context of the query, a proposed definition of the term may be inferred. Based on the proposed definition of the term, a request may be generated to provide a definition of the term, or to modify the proposed definition of the term. A reply to the request may be received. The reply may be in the natural language format. The reply may be analyzed to update the proposed definition of the term. The ontology may be modified to include the updated definition of the term. Based on the modified ontology, a response to the query may be generated.

  • Patent number: 10592762
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a method, system, and computer readable medium for generating a thumbnail for a media file. A web client application server receives the media file having metadata associated therewith. The web client application server generates an interest point area. The interest point area includes one or more interest points in the media file. The web client application server aligns a thumbnail area with respect to the interest point area. The web client application server displays a portion of the media file in the thumbnail area. The portion of the media file that is displayed includes at least a portion of the interest point area.

  • Patent number: 10318528
    Abstract: A mechanism for responding to a natural language query. Linguistic parsing is applied to the natural language query to generate a set of language element(s). One or more of those language elements are mapped to parameters and/or data elements of a parameterized report, which is selected for use in responding to the query based on the mapping. The selection of the parameterized report and/or mapping to the parameterized report may use the schema of the underlying dataset that the parameterized report uses in order to perform more precise mapping and selection. The selected parameterized report is then used to construct structured data that is responsive to the query. For instance, the structured data could include visualizations. In this manner, already existing parameterized reports that were previously used to generated structured data in the form of reports, may again be used in order to respond to natural language queries.
