  • Publication number: 20180182384
    Abstract: Techniques for controlling stateful context-based production of content. A system utilizing such techniques can include a stateful context-based user interaction management system and a stateful context-based interaction engagement device. A method utilizing such techniques can include selecting content to produce at a stateful context-based interaction engagement device according to contexts associated with user interactions with the stateful context-based interaction engagement device and causing the stateful context-based interaction engagement device to produce the selected content in response to the user interactions.

  • Publication number: 20180117479
    Abstract: A smart toy is provided. The smart toy includes a housing forming a zoomorphic shell for housing internal components. The smart toy also includes a microphone for receiving an audio signal from a child and a speaker for playing a responsive audio signal to the child. The smart toy further includes an actuator button and a microprocessor for establishing a voice call with a remote server when the actuator button is pressed. The microprocessor processes the audio signal received from the child and sends the audio signal to the remote server. The remote server processes the audio signal using a dialog engine and a knowledge database to generate the responsive audio signal which is tailored to the child and responsive to the audio signal. The remote server sends the responsive audio signal to the microprocessor to be played to the child.

  • Patent number: 9064222
    Abstract: The different advantageous embodiments provide a system comprising a number of computers, a graphical user interface, first program code stored on the computer, and second program code stored on the computer. The graphical user interface is executed by a computer in the number of computers. The computer is configured to run the first program code to define a mission using a number of mission elements. The computer is configured to run the second program code to generate instructions for a number of assets to execute the mission and monitor the number of assets during execution of the mission.

  • Patent number: 9043326
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved unsupervised learning are described. The unsupervised learning can consist of biclustering a data set, e.g., by biclustering subsets of the entire data set. In an example, the biclustering does not include feeding know and proven results into the biclustering methodology or system. A hierarchical approach can be used that feeds proven clusters back into the biclustering methodology or system as the input. Data that does not cluster may be discarded. Thus, a very large unknown data set can be acted on to learn about the data. The system is also amenable to parallelization.

  • Patent number: 7479101
    Abstract: A method for treating an animal using a constant amplitude electromagnetic field including: providing at least one constant amplitude electromagnetic field focused at a center location, continuously maintaining an area around the constant amplitude electromagnetic field at a constant temperature, placing an end of a limb of an animal at the center location, exposing the end of the limb of the animal to the constant amplitude electromagnetic field for a length of time ranging from 10 minutes to 3 hours to simultaneously treat venous and arterial blood cells and nerve endings in the limb of the animal.
