  • Publication number: 20250095635
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for managing ambiguous date mentions in natural language utterances in transforming natural language utterances to logical forms by encoding the uncertainties of the ambiguous date mentions and including the encoded uncertainties in the logical forms. In a training phase, training examples including natural language utterances, logical forms, and database schema information are automatically augmented and used to train a machine learning model to convert natural language utterances to logical form. In an inference phase, input database schema information is augmented and used by the trained machine learning model to convert an input natural language utterance to logical form.

  • Publication number: 20250086900
    Abstract: A physical asset, such as an item of clothing or a wearable accessory, is embedded with a paired transmitter and receiver that defines the physical asset's actual position, size, orientation, and shape. An electronic device, equipped with the same, or otherwise operative to communicate with such transmitter/receiver, comprises a display and is operative to receive sensor feedback as well as location and orientation information as determined from the physical asset's actual position, size, orientation, and shape and communicated by the transmitter/receiver. A digital asset, configured as non-fungible tokens whose ownership is recorded on the blockchain, may be visually mapped to the physical asset and appear, via the electronic device display, to overlay the physical asset. In some embodiments, a digital asset may additionally or alternatively be visually mapped to any of the environment surrounding the physical asset and thus appear to overlay or augment such environment.

  • Patent number: 12249690
    Abstract: A lithium-sulfur battery including an anode, a cathode, a separator, and an electrolyte dispersed throughout the lithium-sulfur battery is provided. The anode may output lithium ions. The cathode may be positioned opposite to the anode and have an overall porosity as defined by multiple non-hollow carbon spherical (NHCS) particles joined together to form tubular NHCS particle agglomerate. Pores may be associated with the overall porosity of the cathode and interspersed uniformly throughout the NHCS particles. In some aspects, each pore having a diameter between 1 nm and 10 nm; and each tubular NCHS agglomerate has a length between 5 micrometers (?m) and 35 ?m. Interconnected channels defined in shape by the NHCS particles may be joined to each other and the pores, where some interconnected channels may be pre-loaded with an elemental sulfur and retain polysulfides (PS). Retention of the polysulfides may be based on some NHCS particles.
