  • Patent number: 11928112
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that use a trained process to reply to a request comprising query data defining a query and context data defining contextual factors for the query from a device. The query is answered by one or more selected APIs of a plurality of APIs that invoke respective services to prepare a response. The trained process determines an execution plan responsive to the query data and the context data and is configured using training to define execution plans comprising selected APIs where a particular API is selected for the plan if it answers at least a portion of the query and the selected APIs together prepare the response optimized for the device according to the context data. The plan is provided to an execution component to execute the plan using the selected APIs and send the response to the requesting device.

  • Patent number: 9942417
    Abstract: A method for providing local cordless service comprises the steps of receiving subscriber neighborhood zone selection input so that a mobile telephone equipped subscriber may place or receive calls for a fixed rate, for example, per month without having to pay radio frequency air time charges any time they are located within their selected subscribed-to zones. If the subscribed-to zones are adjacent to one another and the mobile subscriber roans from one zone to another, the subscriber may continue their fee call uninterrupted and without paying air time charges. However, when the subscriber roans outside their subscribed-to zones they may be switched from the present local cordless services to conventional personal communications services and pay air time charges. However for an active call, No air-time charges are incurred as the user transitions between the cellular/DPCS environment and the local cordless service environment.

  • Publication number: 20160100528
    Abstract: A lighting system for plant cultivation which is established on a planting system planted with a plurality of plants is provided. The lighting system includes an illumination module and a ring transformer module. The illumination module includes a plurality of light emitting units and a power connection port. Each of the light emitting units includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit light towards the plants when powered. The ring transformer module includes a ring core, a primary coil winding around the ring core, and a secondary coil winding around the ring core. A non-harmonic power is provided by the one single ring transformer module for powering the light emitting units, thereby solving issues of power consumption and heat dissipation caused by conventionally disposing an electronic rectifier in every of the light emitting units.

  • Patent number: 7805141
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing telephone call hand offs between a local cordless service and a different wireless cellular service such as a macro-cellular service. The local cordless service may be configured such that a mobile telephone equipped subscriber may place or receive calls for a fixed rate, for example, per month without having to pay radio frequency air time charges any time they are located within their selected subscribed-to zones. If the subscribed-to zones are adjacent to one another and the mobile subscriber roams from one zone to another, the subscriber may continue their free call uninterrupted and without paying air time charges. However, when the subscriber roams outside their subscribed-to zones they may be switched from the present local cordless services to conventional personal communications services and pay air time charges.
