  • Publication number: 20210294829
    Abstract: Provided is a method including obtaining parameters and a document, determining a domain based on the parameters, where the domain maps to a first ontology, and where ontologies map n-grams onto a set of concepts. The method includes scoring a first set of n-grams of the document using a scoring model based on relations between members of the first set of n-grams, selecting sections of the text based on n-gram scores provided by the scoring model, and determining an initial n-gram set, where each respective n-gram of the initial n-gram set maps to a respective concept of the set of concepts, and where each respective n-gram is identified by an ontology other than the first ontology. The method includes determining related n-grams mapped to the set of concepts associated with the domain and generating a text summary for the document based on the sections and the related n-grams.

  • Patent number: 10917516
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and systems for providing selective data access to representatives. In some embodiments, the system can monitor a call between a user and a representative regarding a subject matter. The user can have an associated profile with data, and the data can be locked such that the representative cannot access the data. During the conversation between the representative and the user, the system can continuously convert both parties' speech into text. The system can determine an intent of the call based on the text and unlock a portion of the data about the user based on the determined intent of the call. Only the unlocked portion of the data is displayed to the representative.

  • Patent number: 10875810
    Abstract: Examples of novel self-repairing cement-polymer composites and processes of making and using are detailed that address various problems in prior art cements. These matrices, compositions and materials that are more mechanically robust, thermally stable and chemically resistant and demonstrate better bonding to various structures and materials, than other self-healing cements known in the prior art. When in place under preselected conditions (the formulation of the slurry can be modified for optimal effectiveness under various conditions) the organic, cross linking and cement forming portions within the slurry form interconnecting chemical bonds and cures to form a self-repairing and self-re-adhering cement polymer composite matrix in the receiving location.

  • Patent number: 10773511
    Abstract: An extruder is fitted with a connector for coupling and decoupling with a filament feed source, such as a filament tube. When connected, the extruder and filament tube are aligned to define a feed path for a filament. A tool rack includes a plurality of filament tubes secured within respective openings. The tool rack may facilitate coupling and decoupling operations between the extruder and filament sources. For example, the tool rack may define an insertion path that engages a filament tube during insertion, and that secures the filament tube against an excursion from the insertion path. The extruder may disengage the coupling by initiating a motion along the insertion path and then moving off of the insertion path to decouple the filament tube and the extruder. In this manner, filaments may be swapped through engaging and disengaging the extruder with different filament tubes on the tool rack.

  • Patent number: 10650831
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the technology described herein alleviate the need to specifically request enrollment information from a user to enroll the user in a voice biometric authentication program. For example, the system can receive a voice interaction from a user where the voice interaction includes a request or a command having one or more portions. After the user is authenticated using non-voice biometric authentication information, the system enrolls the user into a voice biometric authentication program for at least one portion of the request or the command. The system also enrolls the user into the voice biometric authentication program for other requests or commands that include one of the at least one portion of the request or the command and portions of one or more second requests or commands for which the user has been enrolled into the voice biometric authentication program.
