  • Patent number: 11956187
    Abstract: A company may implement automated workflows for convenience of users or to reduce support costs. For example, allowing a user to change an address using an automated workflow may be faster or less expensive than with a human agent. In some instances, a first communications session may be started between a first user and a second user. During the first communications session, one or more communications may be processed to select an intent of the first user and a value of an information item communicated by the first user. An automated workflow may be selected to continue assisting the first user, and the first user may be transferred to a second communications session with the automated workflow. The automated workflow may be initialized with the value of the information item that was provided during the first communications session so that the first user does not need to repeat information.

  • Publication number: 20240094860
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to user interfaces for controlling augmented reality environments. Real and virtual objects can be seamlessly integrated to form an augmented reality by tracking motion of one or more real objects within view of a wearable sensor system using a combination a RGB (red, green, and blue) and IR (infrared) pixels of one or more cameras. It also relates to enabling multi-user collaboration and interaction in an immersive virtual environment. In particular, it relates to capturing different sceneries of a shared real world space from the perspective of multiple users. The technology disclosed further relates to sharing content between wearable sensor systems. In particular, it relates to capturing images and video streams from the perspective of a first user of a wearable sensor system and sending an augmented version of the captured images and video stream to a second user of the wearable sensor system.

  • Patent number: 11889886
    Abstract: A dance shoe having an upper and an underfoot portion, the underfoot portion includes a sole shank, consisting of a relatively rigid structure, extending longitudinally in the shoe over at least a forefoot portion of the shoe and at least partially over a midfoot portion. The sole shank has at least one hinge with a unidirectional stop disposed widthwise in the sole shank. The sole shank covers at least the forefoot portion of the underfoot area and it locks to support plantar flexion and hinges to facilitate dorsiflexion of the foot. To facilitate en pointe movements, the sole shank may be coupled to a rigid distal part of the shoe, such as a toe box. The inventive subject matter is also directed to dance shoes, as well as the sole shanks themselves, and to methods of making the sole shanks and using the sole shanks in assemblies.

  • Patent number: 11588759
    Abstract: A company may implement automated workflows for convenience of users or to reduce support costs. For example, allowing a user to change an address using an automated workflow may be faster or less expensive than with a human agent. Companies may provide support over different types of communications channels with different capabilities, such as voice channels and text channels. Instead of implementing different workflows for different channels, a company may separate aspects of the workflow that are common to different channels from aspects of the workflow that are different for different channels. For example, a workflow may be implemented to determine an action in response to a received communication where the action may be used with multiple channels. The action may then be used to select an action implementation that is specific to a channel.

  • Patent number: 11530524
    Abstract: A system for controlling hydraulic fluid flow within a work vehicle includes a load sense valve configured to adjust the pressure of a bleed flow within a load sense conduit. Moreover, the system includes a computing system configured to determine the pressure of the hydraulic fluid within the fluid supply conduit downstream of the flow control valve based on the data captured by a pressure sensor. Furthermore, the computing device is configured to control an operation of the load sense valve to selectively adjust the pressure of the bleed flow within the load sense conduit based on the determined pressure.

  • Publication number: 20220353222
    Abstract: A message suggestion service may use clusters of pre-approved messages to improve the quality of messages suggested to users. During a conversation, messages of the conversation may be processed with a neural network to compute a conversation encoding vector. The neural network may also be used to compute pre-approved message encoding vectors of the pre-approved messages. Distances between the conversation encoding vector and the pre-approved message encoding vectors may be used to select one or more clusters. Distances between the conversation encoding vector and the pre-approved message encoding vectors may then be used to select one or more pre-approved messages from the selected clusters. The selected pre-approved messages may then be presented as suggested messages to a user.

  • Publication number: 20220337538
    Abstract: A message may be suggested to a user participating in a conversation using one or more neural networks where the suggested message is adapted to the preferences or communication style of the user. The suggested message may be adapted to the user with a user embedding vector that represents the preferences or communication style of the user in a vector space. To suggest a message to the user, a conversation feature vector may be computed by processing the text of the conversation with a neural network. A context score may be computed for one or more designated messages, where the context score is computed by processing the user embedding vector, the conversation feature vector, and a designated message feature vector with a neural network. A designated message may be selected as a suggested message for the user using the context scores. The suggestion may then be presented to the user.
