  • Patent number: 12142277
    Abstract: Generating expanded responses that guide continuance of a human-to computer dialog that is facilitated by a client device and that is between at least one user and an automated assistant. The expanded responses are generated by the automated assistant in response to user interface input provided by the user via the client device, and are caused to be rendered to the user via the client device, as a response, by the automated assistant, to the user interface input of the user. An expanded response is generated based on at least one entity of interest determined based on the user interface input, and is generated to incorporate content related to one or more additional entities that are related to the entity of interest, but that are not explicitly referenced by the user interface input.

  • Publication number: 20210204629
    Abstract: The invention is a button attachment device adapted to attach a button having buttonholes, to a garment. A large range of buttons with small to large buttonholes, regardless of the spacing between the buttonholes. The button attachment device can be used to attach a button to said garment by placing a button in a predetermined position on one side of the garment, placing the button attachment device on the opposite side of the garment, pushing a strand forming a part of the device through the garment and then through one of the buttonholes. Thereafter, pushing the strand through a different buttonhole, and through the garment to the opposite side, Then pushing the strand into a first channel on the device to tighten said button to the garment, and subsequently, the foregoing is repeated for a second strand, and for a second channel.

  • Patent number: 10702942
    Abstract: An arc welder produces a weave pattern between workpieces. Each weld run comprises a center portion including a joining region between the workpieces and edge regions spaced apart from the joining region. The welder includes a power source that provides a welding waveform to a welding electrode to generate an arc to achieve a desired heat for welding, a welding torch, and an oscillator for oscillating the torch between the welding edge regions. A controller causes the power source to operate in a first mode utilizing a first waveform during welding within the joining region, and in a second mode using a second waveform, having a greater positive component than the first waveform, during welding within the edge regions. The controller determines a stickout value based on the first waveform but not the second waveform, and performs seam tracking based the second waveform but not the first waveform.

  • Patent number: 10198591
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for performing particularized encryption of confidential information within real-world data files that are subsequently stored within a cloud environment are described. Specific rules/logic are executed in a local computing environment to identify the type(s) and/or magnitude(s) of confidential information contained within each real-world data file. The identified type(s) and/or magnitude(s) of confidential information is thereafter specifically encrypted using various encryption processes. Once encrypted, the data is packaged and stored within a cloud environment without the need for further encryption at either the local computing or cloud environments.
