  • Patent number: 12129097
    Abstract: Connectors and methods for contactless transfer of fluid between containers are disclosed. According to an aspect, a connector includes a body that defines a first end, a second end, and a passageway that extends between the first end and the second end, wherein the first end and second end are configured to attach to a first container and a second container, respectively. The passageway provides a pathway between the first and second containers when the first and second containers are attached to the first and second ends, respectively. Further, the connector includes an opener configured to engage and open the first container for release of a fluid from within the first container through the passageway and into the second container when the first and second containers are attached to the first and second ends, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20240356873
    Abstract: A chatbot system for an interactive platform. The chatbot system receives a prompt from a user and determines an intent of the user using the prompt. If the chatbot system can't determine an intent, the chatbot communicates the prompt as a personality prompt to a generative AI model. If the chatbot system can determine an intent from the prompt, the chatbot system generates an API call to an additional service using the intent. The chatbot system uses values returned by the additional service to generate a hint prompt that is communicated to the generative AI model. The chatbot system receives a response from the generative AI model to the personality prompt or hint prompt and communicates the response to the user.

  • Publication number: 20240334245
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device that performs: offloading processing of fragments of a packet to an accelerator; processing non-fragmented packets; and prioritizing dropping of fragments of the packet over dropping of non-fragmented packets. Offloading processing of fragments of the packet to the accelerator can include: the accelerator performing: reassembling the fragments of the packet into a first reassembly packet; and based on congestion associated with at least one of the fragments of the packet of the first reassembly packet: dropping fragments of the first reassembly packet associated with one or more flows; halting reassembly of the first reassembly packet; and forwarding a second packet to a host system, wherein the second packet indicates that congestion occurred, identifies one or more impacted flows, and indicates a number of dropped packet fragments.

  • Publication number: 20230087656
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated cell culturing are disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more cell culture vessels are fluidly connected with one or more multiport valves and one or more fluid pumps. The fluid pumps may pump various fluids into and out of the cell culture vessels as necessary to support cell growth, routed by the one or more multiport valves. In some embodiments, one or more components may be removable from other components so that some components may be prepared and sterilized independently prior to usage.

  • Patent number: 11590938
    Abstract: An onboard washing system provides the ability to wash specific areas at the rear of a concrete truck, without requiring an operator to climb a ladder or climb on the truck. Certain specified areas which are traditionally difficult to wash, including the inside of the charge hopper, the interior portions of the discharge chute, and rear portions of the mixing drum structure, can now be washed in an automated and efficient manner. The truck-mounted washing system has components which are specifically positioned to cause washing fluid (water) to be sprayed or directed toward predetermined areas in an efficient and effective manner. The system also includes hand-held washing wands or washing mechanisms, which allow an operator to easily reach additional zones or additional areas at the rear of the truck, which are lower. Most significantly, the truck-mounted wash systems and the hand-held nozzle systems (wand) are all operable while an operator remains on the ground.

  • Patent number: 11279561
    Abstract: A delivery chute for use on a concrete mixer truck has automated systems to allow for repositioning and reconfiguration without requiring an operator to manipulate components. The chute is configured to have multiple segments that can be folded/nested with one another for transport and can be positioned in an extended configuration thereby forming a continuous delivery surface for purposes of delivering concrete to a desired location. Powered mechanisms are used to reposition these segments, thus eliminating the need for operators to handle chute segments at all. A control system is provided to coordinate operation of components so proper sequences are followed during folding, unfolding, raising, lowering and swinging operations. An operator can control each of these operations using a remote control, having single buttons to carry out specific operations.
