Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology can be used process natural language statements to facilitate the automated generation of narratives about data sets that achieve a desired communication goal without any need for a user to directly author computer code. This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in the narrative in a manner that will satisfy the desired communication goal.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology can be used in combination with composable communication goal statements and an ontology to facilitate a user's ability to quickly structure story outlines in a manner usable by an NLG narrative generation system without any need for the user to directly author computer code. This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired communication goal.

This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired communication goal. The AI technology permits multiple communication goal statements to be arranged into a story outline that defines a narrative structure for the narrative story.

This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired communication goal. The AI NLG computer system can also build and update the ontology concurrently with a user's composition of communication goal statements.

This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired communication goal. The AI technology also permits story edits to cause corresponding updates to an ontology and/or story outline used to support narrative generation.

This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired communication goal. The determined content can be arranged in a computed story outline that is created at runtime, and NLG can be performed on the computed story outline to generate the narrative story.

Abstract: An array system is provided including a microarray slide configured to detect simultaneously a plurality of organisms in a sample, wherein the microarray slide includes nucleic acid probes having fragments of 18S or 28S RNA sequence unique to each organism or taxonomical group thereof. The present microarray slide is useful for detecting different species of toxic algae.

Abstract: A sensor for determining the concentration of a gas in gas mixtures, which has a measuring and a reference electrode as well as a polymer layer, which is in contact with the gas mixture and with the measuring electrode. A pH sensitive electrode is provided as the measuring electrode.

Abstract: A metering device, a metering element, and a method for operating same, the metering element having a storage container open on one side for receiving the substances to be metered and a plunger which is axially movable and reversibly seals the opening of the storage container and which preferably has at least one centrally located metering opening for metering the substances provided in the storage container, the plunger including a separation device for particles.

Abstract: In a method for evaluating mechanical tests of a coating on a substrate, in a first step a mechanical stress is applied onto the coating, in a second step the substrate having the coating is isothermally clamped, in a third step an infrared photograph is generated of the region in which the mechanical stress is applied onto the coating in the first step, and in a fourth step the infrared photograph is evaluated. A device is arranged for carrying out the method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method associated with the device. The device is a sequenced series of adhesives attached externally to forms of delivery containers. The method seals delivery containers by attaching at the edges, faces and surfaces allowing for re-use and multiple re-use. This method brings manufacturers a fiduciary and marketing benefit. It brings consumers benefit for their socially conscious recycling behaviors without compromising quality. The invention's core components are theme related, adhesive graphics of suitable thickness and stickiness, aligned and positioned on external horizontal and vertical seams, edges, faces, top and bottom of a delivery container. Once the contents are removed, the container's use may be altered, but not limited to, a child's play activity, a decorative object or a storage container.

Abstract: A method is provided for detecting not fully set coatings and liquid or smearing impurities on a surface, in which in a first step a film is pressed onto a surface of a coating using a predefined press-on pressure, the film having a relative motion with respect to the surface of the coating, thereafter the film is pulled off the surface of the coating and finally it is determined whether impurities are adhering to the film. A device is also provided for performing the method, including at least one film, which may be pressed against a surface to be tested, at least one press-on roller having a surface by which the film is pressed against the coating, and at least one device for determining whether there are impurities adhering to the film.

Abstract: A potentiometric sensor device for measuring pH value is provided, which sensor device has two electrodes situated on a substrate and applied with the aid of thick-film technology. The two electrodes form an interdigital comb structure on the substrate. The interdigital comb structure allows the sensor device to be manufactured without a reference electrode having a glass body, so that the sensor device may easily be used where the sensor device is subjected to high mechanical loads.
