  • Patent number: 12446747
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a vacuum attachment tool configured to be attached to a vacuum hose. The vacuum attachment tool includes a hollow body extending between a first opening configured to be coupled to a vacuum hose and a second opening fluidly coupled with the first opening. The vacuum attachment tool also includes a scrapper portion is disposed on the hollow body and protrudes outward near the second opening. The scrapper portion includes a v-shape that is configured to correspond to a chamfered ground crevice for scraping debris out of the chamfered ground crevice.

  • Publication number: 20250299791
    Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, an artificial intelligence driven bi-directional medical assistant is provided. The assistant comprises an input module configured to recognize, in real time, spoken language and convert the spoken language to a computer readable form to generate a patient embedding. The computer readable form includes, in certain embodiments, a mathematical vector associated with the patient embedding, and the spoken language includes a conversation between a clinician and a patient during a patient visit.

  • Publication number: 20190164556
    Abstract: A communication system is disclosed. The system includes a master personal digital assistant, configured to receive instructions including a first command for a first of a plurality of slave personal digital assistants. The system also includes the plurality of slave personal digital assistants, where each of the slave personal digital assistants is configured to receive data from the master personal digital assistant, and where the master personal digital assistant is configured to process the instructions to identify the first slave personal digital assistant and to transmit first data to the first slave personal assistant. In addition, the first data communicates the first command to the first slave personal assistant.

  • Patent number: 10250619
    Abstract: An overlay cyber security networked system and method that includes one or more devices configured to monitor physical-level signal information to determine a cyber security threat or breach event based on activity occurring with physical signals present at one or more components of a Process Control Network (PCN), enabling forensic analysis. The overlay cyber security networked system also provides information needed for real-time incident management by capturing logs of relevant events at various points in the network hierarchy starting at the analog signaling from the sensors to detect unauthorized variances in operational parameters, thereby providing a defense in depth security architecture for PCN-based systems.

  • Publication number: 20050027539
    Abstract: A system and methods for a media center controller. The system and methods include a computing device having a user dialog manager to process commands and input for controlling one or more controlled devices of the media center. The system and methods includes the capability to receive and respond to commands and input from a variety of sources, including spoken commands from a user, for remotely controlling one or more electronic devices and to perform, in response to the input received from the handheld device, speech recognition processing, voice over Internet Protocol communications, instant messaging, electronic mail messaging, or control of one or more controlled devices. The system and methods may also include a user interaction device capable of receiving spoken user input and transferring the spoken input to the computing device.

  • Patent number: 6532444
    Abstract: A system and method to interact with networked objects, via a computer using utterances, speech processing and natural language processing. A Data Definition File relates networked objects and a speech processor. The Data Definition File encompasses a memory structure relating the networked objects, including grammar files and a natural language processor. The speech processor searches a first grammar file for a matching phrase for the utterance, and to search a second grammar file for the matching phrase if the matching phrase is not found in the first grammar file. The system also includes a natural language processor to search a database for a matching entry for the matching phrase; and an application interface to perform an action associated with the matching entry if the matching entry is found in the database. The system utilizes context-specific grammars, thereby enhancing speech recognition and natural language processing efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6434524
    Abstract: A system and method for interacting with objects, via a computer using utterances, speech processing and natural language processing. A Data Definition File relates networked objects and a speech processor. The Data Definition File encompasses a memory structure relating the objects, including grammar files, a context-specific dictation model, and a natural language processor. The speech processor searches a first grammar file for a matching phrase for the utterance, and for searching a second grammar file for the matching phrase if the matching phrase is not found in the first grammar file. The system also includes a natural language processor for searching a database for a matching entry for the matching phrase; and an application interface for performing an action associated with the matching entry if the matching entry is found in the database.
