Abstract: An example embodiment may include: receiving, from an application, a request, wherein the request includes textual content; in response to receiving the request, determining a context relating to the textual content; generating, from the textual content and the context, a prompt for a natural language model; transmitting, to the natural language model, the prompt; receiving, from the natural language model, a response to the prompt, wherein the response includes information relevant to the request or programmatic commands; and providing, to the application, further textual content that is based on the response.

Abstract: A guest engagement system and associated methods provide seamless engagement with guests of facilities through the use of wireless sensing technologies. The system makes use of individual guest devices which are carried by guests and used to automatically identify and authenticate the guests throughout the facility. Services can thereby be seamlessly provided to the guests throughout the facility. The services include contact tracing, automatic unlocking of doors, including hotel or state room doors, based on the guests' immediate proximity to their assigned room's door. The services also include automated payment services provided at checkout or vending terminals, and automated log-on to interactive displays and portals, among others, based on secure wireless authentication of the guest devices.

Abstract: A cannister deployment apparatus for discharge of gas cannisters within a target building includes a battering ram arranged for being carried on a vehicle for penetrating into the building when impacted on the building by the vehicle. The battering ram has a housing with a plurality of receptacles for receiving the cannisters to be discharged respectively therein. The receptacles include (i) one or more release receptacles arranged to release the respective cannister from the release receptacle upon actuation by a release actuator so that the cannister is discharged from the housing, and (ii) one or more discharge receptacles enabling actuation of the respective cannister into an active state while the cannister remains supported within the discharge receptacle upon actuation by a discharge actuator arranged to trigger a release lever of the cannister in the discharge receptacle into an active state.
