Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) agents can output simulated paralinguistic data. AI can also be used to infer paralinguistic data using sensors that detect contextual cues from users. Paralinguistic systems and methods explained herein involve presenting paralinguistic data (whether simulated or inferred) to a user concurrently with verbal data (e.g., words) in real time during a live interaction with an AI agent and/or another user in an intuitive manner. These concepts include multiple representations of paralinguistic data that are appropriate for various output channels, depending on the mode of interaction. The paralinguistic systems enable the user to have a better understanding of the responses from the AI agent, avoid misunderstanding, and better use the AI agent to roleplay mock conversations. These concepts also enable the user to be more aware of her own contextual cues as well as contextual cues being exhibited by other users.

The first wheel disk and the second wheel disk each extend from the wheel rim toward the wheel hub, are mutually spaced on the wheel hub in a transverse direction which is parallel to the axis of rotation of the disk wheel, and run toward each other as they approach the wheel hub. The disk wheel also has at least two reinforcement ribs, which extend from the first wheel disk to the second wheel disk and interconnect the first wheel disk and the second wheel disk. The reinforcement ribs are distributed evenly around the axis of rotation of the disk wheel.

Abstract: A motor vehicle lock includes a lock latch, at least one pawl, an electric drive arrangement, and a drive controller. The drive controller controls the drive arrangement to carry out an opening movement that adjusts an adjusting arrangement of the lock from a starting position to a raising position of the adjusting arrangement, in which the adjusting arrangement raises the pawl. A clutch arrangement is arranged between an actuating lever and the pawl, wherein, in an intermediate position, the adjusting arrangement shifts, in the opening movement, the clutch arrangement out of the disengaging state into the engaging state, before the adjusting arrangement raises the pawl when the raising position is reached. In an unlocking routine, the controller controls the drive arrangement to start the opening movement, and, responsive to an intermediate position criterion representative being met, modifies the control such that the adjusting arrangement does not reach the raising position.

Abstract: This disclosure describes utilizing a generative document system to dynamically build and provide generative search result documents. The generative document system utilizes an aggregated framework that leverages one or more large generative models (LGMs). For example, the aggregated framework includes three stages where local processes are applied to generative outputs from LGMs, with each stage building upon the generative inputs from previous stages. The generative document system uses the aggregated framework to create generative search result documents based on search queries and their corresponding search result links. These generative search result documents provide interactive, intuitive, comprehensive, and flexible curation of answers that address the respective search queries.
