  • Publication number: 20240143928
    Abstract: The automated generation of a natural language explanation of what code does. The code is structured to perform tasks because the code itself semantically specifies that those tasks are to be performed. A task-centric representation of the code is automatically generated that includes a task representation of each of some or all of the tasks to be performed as specified by the code. Natural language utterances are then automatically generated by generating a corresponding natural language utterance that semantically describes in natural language the corresponding task represented by the corresponding task representation. Controls are rendered for each natural language utterance that each permit a user to edit the corresponding natural language utterance. After editing, the code itself may be automatically modified or regenerated to reflect the changed natural language utterances.

  • Publication number: 20240076498
    Abstract: Asphalt binders and related methods and uses are provided. In some embodiments, the asphalt binder is produced by: providing a high-asphaltene content petroleum feedstock; performing solvent deasphalting on the feedstock to produce a partially deasphalted oil and an asphaltene-rich residue; and collecting the partially deasphalted oil (DAO). The high-asphaltene content petroleum feedstock may comprise residue from vacuum distillation or flash separation of extra heavy oil or bitumen, or recycled asphalt. The DAO may itself be used as the asphalt binder or may be a component of a blend with the original feedstock. Asphalt binders may also be produced by blending residue and heavy distillate produced from vacuum distillation or flash separation, with DAO or the asphaltene-rich residue of the solvent deasphalting process. The disclosed methods allow for production of asphalt binders of a wide variety of performance grades.

  • Patent number: 11568434
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for executing feedback actions based upon vehicle practices are provided. For example, sensor data is collected from sensors configured to collect sensor data associated with vehicles. The sensor data is synthesized to attribute sensor data to vehicle motion of the vehicle in relation to other objects. The vehicle motion is synthesized to determine driving actions of the vehicle, such as switching lanes, making a left hand turn, running a red light, etc. Vehicle practices of the vehicle are defined based upon the driving actions, such as a vehicle practice of a driver running red lights. A feedback action is executed to either reward the vehicle practices or incentivize a change in the vehicle practices.
