Abstract: A system is provided for use with an insulated boom section of a bucket truck. The system includes a source of high volume and pressure, dry air; one or more interior air diffusers connected to the source of high volume and pressure, dry air to direct the air into an interior of the insulated boom section. One or more exterior air diffusers connected to the source of high volume and pressure, dry air direct the air to along an exterior surface of the insulated boom section. A method is also provided for cleaning or drying both the interior and exterior surfaces simultaneously of an insulated boom section of the boom of a bucket truck. The boom of a bucket truck is further provided in another aspect that includes at least one insulated boom section, a source of high volume and pressure, dry air, one or more interior air diffusers and one or more exterior air diffusers. A pre-heating air heater may be removably mounted into the boom.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes detecting user interaction with mixed reality displayed content in a mixed reality system. User focus is determined as a function of the user interaction based on the user interaction using a spatial intent model. A length of time for extending voice engagement with the mixed reality system is modified based on the determined user focus. Detecting user interaction with the displayed content may include tracking eye movements to determine objects in the displayed content at which the user is looking and determining a context of a user dialog during the voice engagement.

Abstract: There is provided a fan assembly comprising a motor-driven impeller arranged to generate an airflow, an air outlet arranged to emit the airflow, a plurality of sensors arranged to measure a value for each of a plurality of air quality characteristics, a display and a processor. The processor is configured to receive measured values for each of the plurality of air quality characteristics, identify one of a corresponding set of intervals within which the measured value falls and select an air quality index value associated with the identified interval. The processor is then configured to identify the highest of the selected air quality index values as a current overall air quality index value and to cause the display to display a time series plot of the current air quality index value and a number of preceding air quality index values.

Abstract: For micro, small and medium enterprises issues relating to cost, manpower, IT infrastructure, etc. absorb a major portion of the enterprise's focus. However, today they are also marketing and engaging their customers and potential customers on more parallel channels than ever today across traditional media, electronic media and evolving trends such as social media, blogs, etc. Accordingly, micro, small and medium enterprises would benefit from a solution implementing lead management across these wide range of technologies and formats at a time where network capabilities and portable electronic device capabilities have led to expectations, especially within younger demographics such as “millennials” particularly, of immediate responsiveness.

Abstract: A tackifier composition comprising at least one thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin and an antioxidant composition is provided; wherein a portion of the volatile organic compounds in the thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin has been removed; wherein the antioxidant composition comprises at least one primary antioxidant and at least one secondary antioxidant; and wherein the levels of individual volatile organic compound monitored in the tackifier composition are less than about 0.5 ppm as measured by GC/MS headspace analysis. Processes for producing the tackifier composition are also provided as well as adhesives comprising the tackifier compositions.

Abstract: Audio data saved at the end of client interactions are sampled, analyzed for pauses in speech, and sliced into stretches of acoustic data containing human speech between those pauses. The acoustic data are accompanied by machine transcripts made by VoiceAI. A suitable distribution of data useful for training and testing are stipulated during data sampling by applying certain filtering criteria. The resulting datasets are sent for transcription by a human transcriber team. The human transcripts are retrieved, some post-transcription processing and cleaning are performed, and the results are added to datastores for training and testing an acoustic model.
