  • Patent number: 11650064
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving the manner in which different fuel types are used under different driving scenarios. In one example, a method may include determining a travel route based on a particular transportation request input by a customer into a software application, where the software application selects a vehicle from a plurality of available vehicles to fulfill the transportation request based on a relative fuel octane content of fuel stored by the available vehicles. In this way, appropriate fuel type usage for different driving scenarios may be improved, and non-appropriate fuel type usage may be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20230033622
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for generating searchable data structures using observational context data are provided. An indication to process observational context data surfaced by a local computing device may be received. The observational context data may comprise display data or audio data. The observational context data may be processed by a context analysis engine. A determination may be made of a current context type occurring on the local computing device. The current context type may be determined from a plurality of context types, each having a semantic data structure comprising a unique set of entity types. A canvas comprising a searchable data structure of the current context type may be generated and populated with objects having entity types corresponding to the current context type. A displayable representation of the canvas may be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20230028806
    Abstract: Described is a method for regulating a volume of liquid delivered by a peristaltic pump and a peristaltic pump system that can be used to perform the method. The method includes sensing an ambient temperature of the peristaltic pump. The peristaltic pump includes a pump motor. At least one of a motor speed and a motor operation duration is determined from the sensed temperature, a selected volume of liquid to be delivered and a predetermined correspondence of the motor speed to ambient temperature. The pump motor is operated at the determined motor speed or for the determined motor operation duration to deliver the selected volume of liquid from the peristaltic pump.

  • Patent number: 11461616
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method used for analyzing documents by an artificial intelligence system is disclosed herein. The method includes uploading at least one document via a frontend which stores the document in a database of the artificial intelligence system; preprocessing at least one document retrieved from the database by splitting the document into individual sentences and calculating a word vector for each sentence of the document; assessing each sentence using a categorization model of the artificial intelligence system by processing the calculated word vector representing the sentence to provide a categorization prediction result; and processing positive categorized sentences in order to calculate an opinion prediction result and a sub-categorization prediction result for each positive categorized sentence based on an opinion prediction model and based on a sub categorization model of the artificial intelligence system.
