The second action agent utilizes at least one information value set by the first action agent or a system state change triggered by the first action agent.

Abstract: The present invention is a scalable multi-service virtual assistant platform that can construct a fluid and dynamic dialogue by assembling responses to end user utterances from two kinds of agents, information agents and action agents. The information agents and action agents are managed by a masterbot or arbiter. The virtual assistant can gain new skills by getting instructions about a new service expressed in a form of pre-requisites and action combinations; the virtual assistant platform automatically handles dialogue generation, arbitration and optimization to survey prerequisites from the end user, and eventually to take action. The present invention allows a large number of services to implemented using a small number of building blocks. These building blocks can be used to assemble a much larger number of services. In turn, each service can be delivered through a large variety of conversations with end users, enabling a fluid and dynamic dialogue to be seamlessly implemented.

Abstract: In an example, a server architecture is described for a dynamic cascaded node chain providing a resource cluster. The cascaded node chain may include one or more resource instances provisioned as a head node, zero or more middle nodes, and a tail node. Each node may include a discrete number of available resource entries in a flow table. As traffic enters the head node, each node attempts to match the traffic to an entry in its flow table. If no match is found, the packet is downlinked to the next node in the chain. If the packet reaches the tail node without a match, it is punted to the controller. The controller may then provision a matching entry if an entry is available. If not, the controller may spawn a new resource instance. When the full capacity of the cluster is reached, non-matching entries may be dropped.

Abstract: An aligning and assembling method of a stereoscopic display device is provided and includes providing a liquid crystal (LC) panel and a brightness detector. A lenticular panel is placed between the LC panel and the brightness detector. The LC panel is driven to output a light-dispersion pattern. The lenticular panel is rotated and the brightness detector obtains a plurality of brightness patterns and a plurality of light-dispersion periods generated from the light-dispersion pattern after the light-dispersion pattern has passed through the lenticular panel. The brightness patterns correspond respectively to the light-dispersion periods. A maximum light-dispersion period is found from the light-dispersion periods. The lenticular panel is stopped to rotate when the maximum light-dispersion period is found.

Abstract: A wire-saving optical encoder having servomotor identification information is applied to a wire-saving transmission design to provide a circuit and a method for processing servomotor identification information and encoded feedback control signals. With a microprocessor, a multiplexer and the servomotor identification information stored in the microprocessor, an output device and a driver for the feedback signals of the encoder constitute a wire-saving signal transmitting circuit. The microprocessor and multiplexer switch a signal transmission mode to transmit the servomotor identification information and phase change signal produced by the servomotor control parameters stored in a firmware by a serial output mode, and the same transmitting wire is used to transmit a rotor operating signal after the transmitting mode is switched, so as to save wires and lower costs for transmitting feedback signals and correctly identifying and effectively controlling a servomotor.
