Abstract: An Applicant Assistant System may receive, from a user device, a user input indicating a query or task associated with information displayed in a user interface. The device may determine one or more components associated with the user interface and access component metadata of the determined one or more components, the component metadata for each of the one or more components indicating one or more of a fact, a data link, or an action. A prompt comprising at least some of the component metadata, at least some context information, and an indication of one or more available response elements may be provided to a large language model (LLM). The LLM may response with one or more response elements that may be processed by the System, such as to cause updates to the user interface on the user device.

Abstract: A device receives milestone information and dependency information associated with a project, generates a milestone flow chart based on the milestone information and the dependency information, and represents one or more milestones, in the milestone flow chart, with one or more nodes. The device also represents one or more dependencies among the one or more milestones with one or more directed arcs provided between corresponding nodes of the one or more nodes, and calculates a critical path associated with the one or more milestones. The device further represents the critical path with bolded directed arcs provided between corresponding nodes of the one or more nodes, and provides the milestone flow chart, including the representations of the one or more milestones, the one or more dependencies, and the critical path, for display.

Abstract: A system, and associated components and methodology, having a dunnage supply with an outlet through which one or more crumpled strips are supplied, a positioning device that positions in juxtaposition portions of the one or more strips of dunnage, and a stapler for connecting the juxtaposed portions to hold them together. In a particular system, the system includes a converter that has a conversion assembly that converts a sheet stock material into a crumpled strip of dunnage and has an outlet through which the strip of dunnage is emitted. The system also includes a coiler that rolls the strip of dunnage into a coil, and a stapler that secures the trailing end portion of the strip of dunnage to at least the next-innermost portion of the strip in the coil by inserting a staple through the trailing end portion and the juxtaposed portion of the coiled strip.
