Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying, by a computing device, a model for predicting conversational phrases for a communication between at least a first user and a second user. The model may be trained based upon, at least in part, an attribute associated with the second user. At least one conversational phrase may be predicted for the communication between the first user and the second user. The at least one conversational phrase may be provided to the second user as an optional phrase to be sent to the first user.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for automatically generating a dialogue graph is executed on a computing device and includes receiving a plurality of conversation data. A plurality of utterance pairs from the plurality of conversation data may be clustered into a plurality of utterance pair clusters. A dialogue graph may be generated with a plurality of nodes representative of the plurality of utterance pair clusters.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of ablating a surface layer of a wall by sweeping the said layer, comprising: a step of directional control by an optical deflector of a plurality of pulsed laser beams; a step of ablating the layer on impact zones created by the plurality of laser beams, each impact zone being defined by a centre and by a characteristic dimension; the method is characterized in that the impact zones are disjoint, the distance between each centre of the impact zones being equal to at least ten times the largest characteristic dimension of the impact zones. The invention also relates to a corresponding device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for classification of a meat cut based on the thickness of the fat layer. The meat classification system comprises a split dual-belt conveyor system and a probe/trolley mechanism assembly where the probe is operable to penetrate the meat cut for measuring fat thickness as the meat cut is being conveyed along the dual belts.

Abstract: An automatic disc handling system and method for retrieving and positioning information carrying discs between a storage position to a position of use is described. A displaceable robot having a pair of robotic arms is controlled by a computer connected to a robot controller and instructed to move to discrete positions, either in front of storage racks where a plurality of superposed sliding trays containing one or more discs are stored, or to a plurality of playback units disposed at a position of use to move selected ones of the disc to and from these positions as requested by a person accessing the discs from a remote station. The robot is provided with a tray engaging element to move the tray in and out of its storage position, and the robotic arms of the robot are each provided with a picker mechanism to engage and remove the discs from the trays or the playback units and transport them to effect a function as dictated by the computer and the robot controller.
