Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for configuring agents for use by digital assistants that use generative artificial intelligence. An agent may be in the form of a container that is configured to have one or more actions that can be executed by a digital assistant. The agent may be configured by initially defining specification parameters for the agent based on natural language input from a user. Configuration information for the one or more assets can be imported into the agent. One or more actions may then be defined for the agent based on importing of the configuration information, the natural language input from the user, or both. A specification document can be generated for the agent and can comprise various description metadata, such as agent, asset, or action metadata, or combinations thereof. The specification document may be stored in a data store that is communicatively coupled to the digital assistant.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for utilizing a content access authorization system to determine user access control efficiently and flexibly for digital documents that are stored in different geographic regions. For instance, the content access authorization system can convert sensitive user information for digital documents stored in a first geographic region into a probabilistic data structure that does not include user information and share the probabilistic data structure with a second geographic region. The content access authorization system can then utilize the probabilistic data structure to efficiently pre-filter user document access control for digital documents requested by a user in the second geographic region that are stored in the first geographic region, which significantly saves on latency and computing resource usage by reducing the number of document control access queries needed to be made to the first geographic region.

Abstract: A methods and systems are disclosed to determine positions of one or more distal end portions of a catheter. In embodiments, the method includes processing location signals that are transmitted by a transmitter-receiver utility having a first clock, and received by a position sensor at a catheter's distal-end portion. The processing may be performed by a signal processor having a second clock not synchronized with the first clock of the transmitter-receiver utility. The processing includes: determining a clock-rate-ratio between clock-rates of the first and second clocks; determining a time-lag between the first and second clocks; and determining the relative phases of the received signals while compensating for the clock-rate-ratio and for the time-lag between the clocks, such that determined phases are adjusted relative to the first signal clock of the transmitter receiver utility. Accordingly, the position of the catheter's distal-end portion can be determined based on the relative phases.
