Abstract: An apparatus for providing an infused or brewed beverage comprises a brewing arrangement which is configured to brew a beverage according to a selected one of a plurality of brewing processes, at least one being a hot brewing processes and at least one being a cold brewing process. The apparatus includes a controller configured to receive a user selection indicative of a required beverage, and to control the brewing arrangement in dependence upon the user selection. The apparatus may for example be used to provide either hot brew or cold brew coffee as required, without the need for multiple machines.

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: An optical sight for a firearm can be provided with multiple light sources for illuminating one or more aiming marks on the sight. The light sources may be multiple LEDs, e.g. of different colors that can provide illumination in different lighting conditions. The lights sources may also be physical process driven light sources, such as a Gaseous Tritium Light Source (GTLS). A combination of LEDs and GTLS may also be used. The light sources may be disposed at multiple focal points of a multi-lens system. Alternatively, a selector may be used to selectively locate one of the light sources at the focal point of a single lens system. The optical sight may be a reflex sight, e.g. for a handgun, or may be a riflescope for a rifle.

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.
