Abstract: In implementation of techniques for template-based behaviors in machine learning, a computing device implements a template system to receive a digital video and data executable to generate animated content. The template system determines a location within a frame of the digital video to place the animated content using a machine learning model. The template system then renders the animated content within the frame of the digital video at the location determined by the machine learning model. The template system then displays the rendered animated content within the frame of the digital video in a user interface.

Abstract: A food recognition system includes a sensor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The sensor is configured to acquire data regarding (i) a respective type of each of multiple food products and (ii) a positioning of the multiple food products relative to one another spaced along a single conveyor. The non-transitory computer-readable medium has instructions stored thereon. The instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to control the single conveyor and a heating element to facilitate providing independent zone processing based on the data such that the multiple food products spaced along the single conveyor can be processed with different operating parameters as the single conveyor moves the multiple food products simultaneously through a processing zone of the food preparation appliance to achieve target processing for each of the multiple food products.

Abstract: A framework for generating and presenting verbal command suggestions to facilitate discoverability of commands capable of being understood and support users exploring available commands. A target associated with a direct-manipulation input is received from a user via a multimodal user interface. A set of operations relevant to the target is selected and verbal command suggestions relevant to the selected set of operations and the determined target are generated. At least a portion of the generated verbal command suggestions is provided for presentation in association with the multimodal user interface in one of three interface variants: one that presents command suggestions as a list, one that presents command suggestions using contextual overlay windows, and one that presents command suggestions embedded within the interface. Each of the proposed interface variants facilitates user awareness of verbal commands that are capable of being executed and teaches users how available verbal commands can be invoked.

Abstract: An aseptic liquid cryogen dosing head has a liquid cryogen reservoir in communication with a dosing outlet. An electromagnetic actuator is attached to an upper end of a dosing valve stem and is operable to move the dosing valve stem to open and close the dosing outlet. An air-tight seal extends about the dosing valve stem and separates the liquid cryogen reservoir from a cavity between the seal and the electromagnetic actuator. A controller is operable to perform a head leakage test, including pressurizing the cavity with a pressure higher than a pressure within the reservoir, to check for leakage past the seal; and pressurizing the reservoir to check for leakage from the liquid cryogen reservoir.
