  • Patent number: 11868728
    Abstract: Techniques for providing and implementing a single skill associated with custom functionality and system-provided functionality are described. The skill may be used to invoke functionality in response to a user input without requiring a user remember exact formulations to cause the functionality to be performed. The skill may be associated with more than one domain. For example, the skill may be associated with custom sample user inputs (corresponding to the custom functionality) that correspond to a custom domain while the skill may also be associated with system-provided sample user inputs (corresponding to the system-provided functionality) associated with a non-custom domain.

  • Publication number: 20230419957
    Abstract: Described are techniques for linking generating a skill-stored user profile, and linking same with a natural language processing (NLP) system-stored user profile. In at least some examples, a user may provide a natural language input to a NLP system. The NLP system may determine a skill is to process to perform an action responsive to the natural language input. To perform the action, the skill may require the user have a user profile stored by the skill, but the user may not have such a user profile. However, the NLP system may store a user profile for the user. The NLP system may determine the user profile stored thereby and may send, with user permission, information in the user profile to the skill. The skill may use the received information to generate and store a user profile for the user. Thereafter, the skill may provide the NLP system with a user profile identifier that the skill may use to identify the user's profile stored thereby.

  • Patent number: 9114343
    Abstract: A filtration unit and a method of installing a filtration unit are provided. The rectangular filtration unit includes a filter element for filtering fluid. The frame includes a first portion and a second portion. The frame supports the filter element and the frame defines an opening. A first dimension of the filtration unit measured between the exterior of the first portion and the opening is greater than a second dimension of the filtration unit measured between the exterior of the second portion and the opening. In a further example, the filtration unit is mounted in a top section and a bottom section of a holding frame.
