Abstract: Systems and method for migrating a web application from a source environment to a cloud service. A cloud service system accesses a temporary container containing a manifest and a plurality of web parts for the web application. The manifest includes a list of contents of the temporary container and defines an appearance and functionality of the web application. The cloud service system then reconstructs the web application on the cloud service by automatically generating a user interface environment for the web application on the cloud service based on the manifest and importing each web part of the web parts to the cloud service. The cloud service system configures each web part and the user interface environment to interact as defined by the manifest. The user interface environment reconstructed on the cloud service replicates the appearance and functionality of the web application operating system in the source environment.

Abstract: A system performs conversations with users using chatbots customized for performing a set of tasks. The system may be a multi-tenant system that allows customization of the chatbots for each tenant. The system processes sentences that may include negation or coreferences. The system determines a confidence score for an input sentence using an intent detection model, for example, a neural network. The system modifies the sentence to generate a modified sentence, for example, by removing a negation or by replacing a pronoun with an entity. The system generates a confidence score for the modified sentence using the intent detection model. The system determines the intent of the sentence based on the confidence scores of the sentence and the modified sentence. The system performs tasks based on the determined intent and performs conversations with users based on the tasks.

Abstract: A waste gate assembly for a turbocharger includes a valve member formed by a valve shaft and an arm attached to an end of the shaft, the arm defining a through bore, an inner surface of the through bore defining an arm groove therein. A poppet for the valve has a pin whose outer surface defines a pin groove. A generally polygonal retaining ring of elastically deformable wire is installed partially in the arm groove and partially in the pin groove to retain the poppet on the pin, thereby attaching the poppet to the arm of the valve member. An anti-rotation feature prevents relative rotation of the poppet about the pin axis. Vertices of the retaining ring are in the arm groove, while sides of the retaining ring are in the pin groove. Once the retaining ring is pre-installed in the arm groove of the arm, the arm can be assembled to the poppet by a push-to-connect process.

Abstract: A system uses a neural network to detect anomalies in time series data. The system trains the neural network for a fixed number of iterations using data from a time window of the time series. The system uses the loss value at the end of the fixed number of iterations for identifying anomalies in the time series data. For a time window, the system initializes the neural network to random values and trains the neural network for a fixed number of iterations using the data of the time window. After the fixed number of iterations, the system compares the loss values for various data points to a threshold value. Data points having loss value exceeding a threshold are identified as anomalous data points.
