Abstract: A method for processing multiple intents from an audio stream in a virtual reality application may include multiple steps, including: receiving a stream of words as a first utterance; processing the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received; based on the processing, determining a first intent from the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received; determining occurrence of a pause after the first utterance; and receiving a second stream of words as a second utterance, the second stream being received after the determined pause.

Abstract: A system for stateful detection of cyberattacks includes an endpoint computer and a backend computer system. The endpoint computer monitors for cyberattacks and sends out queries for detected security events. The backend computer system stores observation data that are included in the queries. The backend computer system combines current observation data from a current query, relevant observation data from previous queries, and relevant cybersecurity data. The combined data are evaluated for cyberattacks.

Abstract: A storage system comprises a rack defining a plurality of storage locations arranged one above the other, trays removably stored at the storage locations, and an elevator configured for moving a selected tray between its assigned storage location and a retrieval space below the storage locations. The storage locations are formed by pairs of horizontally opposite spaced apart rails with inwardly projecting sidewalls on which a tray can be rested. The elevator comprises a platform configured to carry and transfer the trays to and from the rack, and a drive system configured to move the platform that includes a servomotor. The platform carries optical sensors used cooperatively with the servomotor to detect a selected storage location of a tray to be stored or retrieved.

Abstract: A surgical robot arm comprises a base connected to a terminal link via a series of intermediate joints. The terminal link comprises a drive assembly interface comprising drive assembly interface elements. Each drive assembly interface element is configured to: engage an instrument interface element of an instrument interface of a robotic surgical instrument when the surgical robot arm engages the robotic surgical instrument; and move relative to the drive assembly interface across a range of motion so as to, when engaged with the instrument interface element, transfer drive to that instrument interface element. The drive assembly interface elements are arranged across a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the terminal link such that the robotic surgical instrument is detachable from the surgical robot arm in a detachment direction parallel to the plane when each drive assembly interface element is anywhere within its range of motion.

Abstract: A surgical endoscope for manipulation by a surgical robot arm. The surgical endoscope comprises a shaft having a distal end for insertion into a patient and a proximal end. An endoscope interface is attached to the proximal end of the shaft. The endoscope interface is configured to engage a robot arm interface of the surgical robot arm. The endoscope interface comprises an endoscope wedge mechanism moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The endoscope wedge mechanism comprises endoscope wedge elements which are displaceable such that collective displacement of the endoscope wedge elements actuates the endoscope wedge mechanism between the unlocked position and the locked position.

Abstract: A network element of an Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem buffers network resource usage information in the cloud. After generating network resource usage information based on an observation of network resource usage, the network element transmits the network resource usage information to a cloud-based storage service for buffering. Once a network resource usage collection function is available, the network element retrieves the network resource usage information from the cloud-based storage service and transmits it to a charging collection function for generation of call detail records.
