  • Patent number: 11321104
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using cognitive automation for customized interface generation. A computing platform may receive user interaction information. Based on the user interaction information, the computing platform may identify a user intent. Using a cognitive automation model, the computing platform may identify a final graphical user interface corresponding to the user intent, where the final graphical user interface may be a last graphical user interface, of a sequence of graphical user interfaces, that was displayed at a user device to satisfy the user intent. The computing platform may send commands directing an enterprise source host system to cause display of the final graphical user interface without causing display of preceding graphical user interfaces of the sequence of graphical user interfaces. The computing platform may receive a feedback message indicating a level of satisfaction with the final graphical user interface and may update the cognitive automation model accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11174030
    Abstract: A system for increasing passenger safety within an airplane (10) includes a forward seat (16) having a back surface (17) that faces an occupant seat (14). A tray table holder (22) is secured to or formed integrally with the back of the forward seat (16). A tray table (20) is rotatably connected to the tray table holder via a hinge (40) and is rotatable relative to the tray table holder. The tray table defines a cavity (32) inside the tray table. An airbag (54) is within the cavity. An inlet device (42) is coupled to the airbag and is rotatable about the hinge (40) such that the inflator inlet can rotate as the tray table rotates relative to the tray table holder.

  • Publication number: 20210265137
    Abstract: Following use of a reactive process chamber, a component of the chamber, such as an edge ring that is to surround a workpiece during an etching process, may be refurbished through one or more residue removal operations followed by a surface texturing operation. The texturing operation may entail media blasting with a gaseous media propellant comprising a smaller fraction of O2 than air, such as high purity dry N2. The more inert gaseous media propellant may advantageously control oxygen contamination of a bulk metal, such as aluminum. Reconditioning may further entail a chemical treatment, which thins or completely removes, a surface oxide present after the texturing operation. The conditioned surface may then have a surface composition and texture that is capable of matching the performance of a previously unused chamber component.
