Patent number: 12271408Abstract: Systems and methods provides for dialog management in real-time rather than turn taking. An example method included generating first candidate responses to triggering event. The triggering event may be receipt of a live stream chunk for the dialog or receipt of a backend response to a previous backend request for a dialog shema. The method also includes updating a list of candidate responses that are accepted or pending with at least on of the first candidate responses, and determining, for the triggering event, whether the list of candidate responses includes a candidate response that has a confidence score that meets a triggering threshold. The method also includes waiting for a next triggering event without providing a candidate response when the list does not include a candidate response that has a confidence score that meets the triggering threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: David Elson, Christa Wimberley, Benjamin Ross, David Eisenberg, Sudeep Gandhe, Kevin Chavez, Raj Agarwal

Publication number: 20240419066Abstract: In a method for incorporating temperature-regulating hollow structures into a substrate, in particular into a substrate for an optical element, such as a mirror for an EUV projection exposure apparatus, there are the following steps: (A) providing a substrate; (B) progressively focusing a processing light beam on ablation locations at which temperature-regulating hollow structures are intended to arise; (C) a scanning process is carried out in which the processing light beam is guided with a focus in such a way that an ablation focus is moved along a scanning trajectory; (D) the scanning trajectory comprises a plurality of scanning patterns; (E) the scanning positions are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the temperature-regulating hollow structure to be produced; and (F) the scanning trajectory additionally comprises pattern jump paths.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Inventors: Uwe BIELKE, Markus DAUTH, Oliver DIER, Sebastian FAAS, Matthias FETZER, Caren GATZEN, Ingo HERMANN, Rudy HUSSEIN, Daniel LENZ, Luca METTENLEITER, Eric MYSLIWITZ, Stefan NOLTE, Ulrich PFLANZ, Benjamin ROSS, Simon RUCK, Andreas SEIFERT, Samer SULEIMAN, Tobias ULLSPERGER, Jonas ZIPFEL

Patent number: 12169920Abstract: A method of detecting a deformation in a lattice structure comprises capturing first image data of the lattice structure via a first image capturing device with a first telecentric lens and a second image capturing device with a second telecentric lens. The first telecentric lens is directed toward the lattice structure, and the second telecentric lens is spaced apart from the first telecentric lens and also directed toward the lattice structure. The method includes compressing the lattice structure; capturing second image data of the lattice structure via the first and second image capturing devices; and detecting the deformation based at least in part on the first and second image data.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2022Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLCInventors: Eric Michael Brannigan, Benjamin Ross Brown

Publication number: 20240378202Abstract: Systems and methods for compressing and querying data for real-time analytics. The system can receive log data and generate an intermediate representation by parsing a log template and variables from the log data into a columnar format. The method includes generating a compressed intermediate representation associated with an index type and storing the compressed intermediate representation in the columnar format based on the index type. The method includes receiving a search query and analyzing the search query to identify a user defined function. The method includes parsing the search query to convert the search query into one or more predicates that satisfy the search query. The method includes filtering the compressed log data based on the one or more predicates and providing a query result.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Ting Chen, Yupeng Fu, Maksym Ivanchenko, Yu Luo, Christopher Peck, Kirk Rodrigues, Benjamin Ross, Ujwala Prabhakar Tulshigiri, Kaibo Wang, Yun Zhang

Patent number: 12045899Abstract: Indexing and adjusting for property condition in an automated valuation model. Property data corresponding to a geographical area is accessed, and a regression is performed based upon the property data. The regression models the relationship between a dependent variable, such as price, and property-characteristic explanatory variables. Further regression is then performed and models or further explains the relationship between the dependent variable and property condition explanatory variables. Specifically, further regression may model the relationship between the residual from the first regression and the property condition variables. Optional examples of these variables are those based upon the presence of predetermined remarks in associated property listings, the number of photos in such listings, and a categorical year built variable. The regression is used to determine a property-condition index for the geographical area.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Fannie MaeInventors: Elif Onmus-Baykal, Eric Rosenblatt, Dwayne D.

Publication number: 20240036345Abstract: A method for optical contact bonding components includes: placing a first surface (2a) of a first component (2) onto a second surface (3a) of a second component (3), to form an air film, and pressing the first surface against the second surface for optical contact bonding of the two components. Placing and pressing the first component is carried out by a robot (4). A laminar gas flow (10) is generated between the first and second surfaces with a ventilation device (9). A related apparatus (1) includes: the robot, configured to place the first surface onto the second surface thereby forming an air film. The robot presses the first surface against the second surface, to optically contact bond the first and second components. A holding device (8) holds the second component during the placing and pressing. A ventilation device generates the laminar gas flow between the first and second surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Stefan SCHUETTER, Eduard SCHWEIGERT, Benjamin ROSS, Sebastian FAAS

Publication number: 20230036073Abstract: Acoustic forces in an acoustic field can be increased via introduction of “seeding particles” with higher or similar contrast factor and/or size relative to the particles targeted for retention in the acoustic field. This feature may be implemented in an acoustic concentration device or an acoustic separation device. Increases in acoustic forces lead to better particle retention and can permit increased flow rates through an acoustic particle processing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Benjamin Ross-Johnsrud, Kedar C.
