  • Patent number: 11909703
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for processing comments provided to a live chat stream. By way of example, embodiments obviate or mitigate problems associated with conventional live chat streams by assessing semantic uniqueness of collections of comments in a live chat stream and then determining a final importance score for each collection based on its semantic-uniqueness and activity score. The display of each collection can then be controlled based on its final importance score.

  • Publication number: 20230147921
    Abstract: A configurable printing bed for a 3D printer includes a bed surface and linear actuators. The bed surface includes bed surface portions. Each of the bed surface portions is supported for independent movement. At least one of the bed surface portions includes a head that is twistable. When each of the bed surface portions is positioned at a reference level, the bed surface portions form different parts of a common plane. Each of the linear actuators is connected to at least one of the bed surface portions, respectively. The linear actuators are configured to generate the independent movement of the bed surface portions and to effect positioning of the bed surface portions. The linear actuators are configured to lower the bed surface portions in a staggered manner so that a release wave is generated and used to remove a 3D printed object from the printing bed.

  • Publication number: 20230126457
    Abstract: Dynamically adjusting, using artificial intelligence (AI), sensors and models of an autonomous roaming robotic device, which includes receiving data regarding an asset at a computer of a roaming robotic device from sensors on the robotic device. The robotic device identifies an asset at a location using the sensors, and the robotic device has instructions, received from a control system, to inspect the location or items at the location. The data is analyzed using the computer of the robotic device, and the analysis includes using historical data for the asset. An AI model is loaded using the computer of the robotic device, based on the identification of the asset. A sensor is selected using the computer of the robotic device, for conducting an inspection of the asset based on the analysis of the data and the AI model.
