  • Publication number: 20200005247
    Abstract: A method performed by one or more electronic devices for ascertaining a purpose of a meeting is described. In various embodiments, calendar event data and trip data are obtained. The calendar event data and the trip data are combined to produce aggregated data. A set of feature vectors are determined for the aggregated data. A neural network is utilized to determine whether the set of feature vectors indicate a meeting. A set of purpose clusters are generated based on at least one of the set of feature vectors and user-formulated purposes and a prototype purpose is formulated for each cluster in the set of purpose clusters. At least a subset of the feature vectors is mapped to one cluster of the set of purpose clusters in response to determining that the feature vectors indicate a meeting. The prototype purpose for the mapped cluster for the indicated meeting is presented.

  • Publication number: 20080018130
    Abstract: The invention provides a vehicle with one or more slide-out sections and a compact operating mechanism for moving each slide-out section between extended and retracted positions. In one form, the vehicle has a primary slide-out section and a secondary slide-out section mounted to extend and retract relative to the primary slide-out section. In that case, the vehicle has at least two operating mechanism, at least one for each sliding section. Each operating mechanism has two slide modules, one module is mounted to the slide-out section and the other is mounted to a stationary part of the vehicle. One module includes a drive and the other includes a drive member, such as a drive screw, that interact to extend and retract the slide-out section. A track and glide arrangement can be used to facilitate relative sliding between the modules.
