  • Patent number: 10692131
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating feed in a network-based marketplace are described. The system includes a plexus of aggregation interfaces including a first aggregation interface and a second aggregation interface. The first aggregation interface displays content elements and the second aggregation interface is for reconfiguring a presentation feed. The system communicates the first aggregation interface to a client machine responsive to receiving a first selection via a source feed identifier presented in the first content element of the first presentation interface. The system further communicates the second aggregation interface to the client machine responsive to receiving a second selection, via the first aggregation interface, the second selection identifying the second aggregation interface. The system receives a third selection via the second aggregation interface, the third selection causing removal of the first source feed from the plurality of source feeds that comprise the presentation feed.

  • Patent number: 10694038
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a call between a contact, a conversation bot, and a human agent are disclosed. The method selects a conversation bot associated with a particular human agent from multiple conversation bots that are each associated with a different human agent. Each conversation bot can be a model trained using conversation data recorded during conversations conducted by the particular human agent with which it is associated. The method connects an audio call with a human contact, and generates audio during the call based upon a voice of the particular human agent. The method determines that a transition criterion is satisfied, and selects a selected human agent from amongst a plurality of available human agents. When the transition criterion is satisfied, the method enables a selected human agent to participate on the call, and continues the call between the selected human agent and the human contact.

  • Patent number: 10364657
    Abstract: A composite drill gun for use in a wellbore environment can include a detonation housing containing a detonation source, a composite carrier containing one or more encapsulated charges, and a detonation train connecting the detonation source to the encapsulated charges. The detonation source and each individual encapsulated charge are all sealed with respect to the wellbore environment, and thus the carrier need not be sealed with respect to the wellbore environment. The carrier can be made out of composite materials without worry of leaks into the interior of the carrier, as the detonation source and encapsulated charges are all sealed with respect to the wellbore environment. The composite carrier can be easily drilled out of the wellbore after detonation.

  • Publication number: 20180239781
    Abstract: Techniques for obtaining geographically-relevant product inventory information, in real-time, from heterogeneous data sources are described. Product inventory information, including the volume of available products in specific geographical locations, is obtained from at least three different sources. First, one or more data feeds may be received. Second, a data obtaining module uses one or more APIs to obtain product inventory information from one or more third-party inventory management systems. Finally, a structured data mining module uses a web crawler, at the direction of a crawler configuration, to systematically obtain product inventory information from various third-party websites. Accordingly, a user's search query is processed to provide geographically relevant product inventory information in near real time.
