Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for generative Al based unified virtual assistant. Conventional virtual assistant for enterprise systems needs to be configured for a specific industry or stakeholder and does not provide support for all stakeholders in the enterprise. Also, conventional rule-based virtual assistant or machine learning based virtual assistant need a large database for proper functioning. The disclosed method and system provide a unified virtual assistant for all processes in the enterprise. The unified virtual assistant provides support for all stakeholders in the enterprise and can answer all kinds of queries related to any process of the enterprise according to a role of a user logged into the system. The unified virtual assistant interprets user's query and generates effective prompts depending on the user's query which can be specific to customer, employee, executive or support desk users of the enterprise.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination use of a novel Lactobacillus plantarum IMB19 strain and/or polysaccharides derived from the strain with an anticancer drug for preventing or treating tumors. The novel Lactobacillus plantarum IMB19 strain and polysaccharides derived from the strain of the present invention exhibit an excellent ability to stimulate CD8+T cell activity and exhibit excellent Treg cell inhibitory activity, and stimulate and improve antitumor immune response through various mechanisms such as increased macrophage infiltration in CPS tumors and differentiation and reprogramming of macrophages into an inflammatory phenotype (M1). Furthermore, the strain and the polysaccharides may significantly increase antitumor immune response when administered in combination with an anticancer drug, particularly an immuno-anticancer drug such as a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor (e.g.

Abstract: A method and apparatus visualizing compensation adjustments for employees of organization.

Abstract: Career coaching comprising defining a number of employment positions, wherein each employment position comprises a number of required skills. Relationships between the employment positions are modeled, wherein the model maps potential transitions between employment positions according to similarities of required skills. A number of persons who have occupied the employment positions are modeled according to skills, employment history, and job performance. A user provides user data that comprises skills, employment history, and job performance. The user data is compared to the modeled persons, and a number of potential employment opportunities from among the number of employment positions are matched to the user based on similarities between the user and the modeled persons. The potential employment opportunities are then displayed to the user on a graphical user interface.

Abstract: Systems and assemblies for performing point-of-care, fluidic assays having self-contained, portable fluidic assay systems or assemblies. A housing comprises an assaying assembly, an inspiration actuator, and an expulsion actuator. The inspiration and expulsion actuators may include one-way valves. The assaying assembly is configured to provide a visual indicator in response to being contacted by one or more target analytes within a fluid-assay sample mixture. The fluidic assay assembly has a reciprocal plunger disposed therewithin and, in some embodiments, the plunger has a resilient member to bias the plunger in one direction. Movement of the plunger in a first direction implements an inspiration stroke for drawing the assay sample such that it contacts the fluid from the fluid chamber and continued movement of the plunger implements an expulsion stroke for expelling the fluid-assay sample mixture through the outlet opening to the receptacle of the assaying assembly.

Abstract: A water submersible controlled release fertilizer particle comprising: (i) a fertilizer core material; (ii) a polyurethane coating layer encapsulates the fertilizer core material; and (iii) a hydrophilic outer layer encapsulates the polyurethane coating layer wherein the hydrophilic outer layer dissolves when subjected to water.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for fecal management, comprising a device for collection of fecal discharge, and an insertion component. The device for collection of fecal discharge may comprise an expansile retaining component configured for deployment within a subject's rectum and having an annular cross-section. The insertion component may be configured for rectal insertion of the retaining component, and may include an elongate shaft having a first end positioned proximal to the retaining component and a second end positioned distal to the retaining component. At least one of the retaining component and the elongate shaft may be provided with a plurality of constraining members configured to releasably constrain the retaining component in a collapsed configuration against an external surface of the elongate shaft.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, at a processor of a server, a first application programming interface (API) call from a client device and providing an indication associated with the first API call as an input to a machine learning model such that the machine learning model identifies a set of parameters associated with a set of likely subsequent API calls. The method can further include receiving a second API call from the client device, identifying the second API call as an anomalous API call based on the second API call not meeting the set of parameters associated with the set of likely subsequent API calls, and sending a signal to perform a remedial action based on the identifying.
