Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing predicted task-actions for tasks from a plurality of task applications associated with a task management system. In operation, a task associated with a task application is accessed at a task-action prediction engine. An intent of the task is determined. The intent of the task is determined based on task features and an intent prediction machine learning model that is trained to predict intents associated with natural language text. Based on the intent of the task, a predicted task-action is selected based on a task-action computation model that is associated with predefined task-actions and predefined intent-task-categories. The predicted task-action can be communicated to a task management client that causes display of the predicted task-action in combination with a predicted task-action interface element associated with executing the predicted task-action.

Abstract: A test-circuit includes a PLL-divider outputting first and third clock-signals as PLL clock-signals during functional mode and a capture-phase of transition and stuck-at-modes, and outputting a second clock-signal based upon an external clock-signal as an ATE clock-signal during a shift-phase of the transition and stuck-at-mode. An OCC passes the clock-signals in functional mode, transition capture mode, and stuck-at capture mode through sub-paths within first paths within first and second clock selection circuits so the first and third clock-signals are passed through less than the entire first paths, the sub-paths being first and second functional clock paths.

The natural language search query is parsed to identify a plurality of portions of the natural language search query, and a first portion is determined to be a negation portion. A second portion to which the negation portion applies and a third portion to which the negation portion does not apply are then identified, and a content query is generated which includes a negation parameter corresponding to the second portion, and at least one other parameter corresponding to at least the third portion. Search results of the content query are then generated for output to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are stabilizer systems that include a base for securing the stabilizer system to a patient table by inserting the base between the patient table and the mattress on the patient table. The stabilizer systems also include a connector that connects a lockable articulating arm to the base. The base protrudes from under the mattress slightly to provide a sturdy and predictable surface to attach the articulating arm of the stabilizer system. The base can then be used to support a lockable articulating arm with a clamp at its distal end for holding an access sheath or delivery system. The connectors attach the articulating arm to the base so that the articulating arm is above the sterile surgical drape to maintain sterility of the articulating arm. The stabilizer systems are advantageous in jugular access procedures.
