Abstract: Examples can include a system for creating filters within a computer-aided design (“CAD”) application and performing actions on elements that satisfy the filter criteria. A plugin can generate an element modification window that is displayed on a graphical user interface (“GUI”). The plugin can receive criteria for a first filter based on a tab that allows the user to select a parameter, operator, and operand. The user can categorize and edit the filters and select an action to perform on elements that fit the filter criteria. Such actions can include copying a parameter, modifying a parameter, executing a macro, and changing an element's associated work set. The plugin automatically perform the action on new and modified elements based on a user selection.

Abstract: Examples can include a system for filtering selections made within a computer-aided design (“CAD”) application. A plugin can generate a filter designer window that is displayed on a graphical user interface (“GUI”). The plugin can receive criteria for a first filter based on an edit tab that allows the user to select a parameter, operator, and operand. The user can categorize and edit the filters and apply them to the selection. The plugin can loop through elements within a selection box and automatically deselect elements that do not meet the criteria of the first filter. Remaining selected elements can be visually indicated as specified by the first filter.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product provide a conversation agent to process natural language queries expressed by a user and perform commands according to the derived intention of the user. A natural language processing (NLP) engine derives intent using conditional random fields to identify a domain and at least one task embodied in the query. The NLP may further identify one or more subdomains, and one or more entities related to the identified command. A template system creates a data structure for information relevant to the derived intent and passes a template to a services manager for interfacing with one or more services capable of accomplishing the task. A dialogue manager may elicit more entities from the user if required by the services manager and otherwise engage in conversation with the user. In one embodiment, the conversational agent allows a user to engage in multiple conversations simultaneously.

Abstract: A purchase request system efficiently procures goods and services by recognizing purchase authority levels of users within an enterprise, division, or project team. Administrators establish authority levels to ensure that purchase requests within a user's authority level are automatically processed and submitted to vendors for fulfillment of orders, while purchase requests beyond a user's authority level are routed according to a determined protocol. Determined protocols include routing the purchase request to a designated user with a different authority level for disposition, rejection of the purchase request, or modification of the purchase request in accordance with the determined protocol. Users may select from multiple payment methods to complete a purchase transaction and may access the purchasing system in real time to determine the status of an order at any point in the life cycle of the purchase request, from submission of the request to payment for received goods and services.

Abstract: A technique for controlling and compensating the energy spread of a charged particle beam is provided. This technique is based on a passive dielectric-loaded structure that redistributes the energy within the bunch by means of the wakefield generated in the structure. Cylindrical and planar structure configurations are provided and also means for electrical and mechanical tuning to optimize performance. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: A system includes an education module (171) that is operable with, includes, or is operable to control three-dimensional figure generation software (170). The education module (171) is configured to present an educational three-dimensional object (181) on a display (132) upon detecting an educational flash card (150) being disposed before a camera (130) that is operable with the education module (171). The educational three-dimensional object (181) can correspond to a visible graphic (151) disposed on the educational flash card (150) to provide an educational experience to a student.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program for performing voice commands on a mobile device and presenting the results on an interactive timeline is disclosed. A user may utter a voice command into the microphone of their mobile device while an application is running. The voice command is processed to derive the intention of the user, specifically by determining the domain, at least one task and at least one parameter for the task from the voice command. A services component performs the task identified and presents the results on the mobile device screen. In various embodiments, the results are presented on a timeline and may be grouped together by domains and sorted by the time that the results were obtained. A search history view may also be viewed that includes search results sorted chronologically each of which is represented graphically by an icon that represents the category of each search.
