  • Patent number: 11964811
    Abstract: A liquid storage tank includes a housing, a piston located in the housing, a cover, an elastic element, and an outlet pipe. The cover is attached to the housing and has a support post extending toward the piston. The piston, the housing, and the cover define a tank chamber. The tank chamber is filled with cooling liquid. The elastic element is connected with the tank hosing and the piston. The elastic element is free from contact with the cooling liquid. The outlet pipe communicates with the tank chamber. An extension direction of an opening of the outlet pipe is not parallel to a direction of movement of the elastic element. When the cooling liquid is decreased, the piston compressed the tank chamber such that the elastic element is released. The tank chamber is continuously compressed by pairing the elastic element and the piston.

  • Publication number: 20240096068
    Abstract: At least one computer processor can replace visual words of an unsupervised machine learning classification model with visual objects of an image. At least two co-occurring single visual objects adjacent to each other in pixels of the image can be combined to obtain a compound visual object. The unsupervised machine learning classification model can be augmented to model the image as a mixture of subjects, where each subject is represented through placements of the visual objects in a mixture of concentric spheres centering on a mixture of intersections on a mixture of horizontal layers. At least one processor can learn latent relationships between the placements of the visual objects in a three-dimensional space depicted in the image and image semantics. Learning the latent relationships trains the unsupervised machine learning classification model to perform image subject classification through the placements of the visual objects in a new image.

  • Patent number: 11928451
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programming products for dynamically managing the uninstallation and/or re-installation of software applications stored or accessed by a computing system, including mobile devices. Management of the applications by the system can be periodically managed automatically or based on recommendations. Management of applications being uninstalled or reinstalled may be determined based on a rate a user accesses the application and/or data published or accessible by an application storefront, such as user reviews, storefront rankings, user feedback and uninstallation rates of the applications by other users. Applications experiencing a decreased level of average user satisfaction below a predetermined threshold can be proposed for deletion or automatically deleted. Replacement of underperforming or unsatisfactory applications with alternative applications having similar functionality but a higher rate of user satisfaction can be recommended or installed.

  • Publication number: 20240070991
    Abstract: The program intelligently assigns a virtual office layout (VOL) to one or more actual users' real on-site office layout (ROL) based on human resource mapping. The method maps the one or more actual users' ROL to a correlated VOL, according to human resource data and a real building floor map. The method creates an augmented virtual office layout (AVOL) based on the mapping. The method customizes the AVOL according to the one or more actual users' preferences and real office location and tracks the one or more users' activities on the AVOL. The method renders the one or more users' real or preferred office location and the one or more users' virtual position on the AVOL.

  • Patent number: 11914650
    Abstract: The present invention may have a computer that monitors conversation between a user and a first virtual assistant from a plurality of virtual assistants, for a confidence score value being below a confidence threshold value, where the confidence score value is associated with each answer of the first virtual assistant. When the computer determines the confidence score value is below the confidence threshold value, the computer generates a dialog flow for answering by a second virtual assistant, where the dialog flow is related to an answer associated with the confidence score value being below the confidence threshold value. Then, based on determining the second virtual assistant having a second confidence score value that is higher than the confidence score value, the computer transfers a knowledge base data of a topic associated with the dialog flow from the first virtual assistant to the second virtual assistant.
