Publication number: 20250148214Abstract: A neuro-symbolic retrieval augmented generation hybrid method includes detecting an incomplete entigen group within a knowledge database. The incomplete entigen group includes entigens and one or more entigen relationships between at least some of the entigens. The incomplete entigen group represents knowledge of a topic. The method further includes obtaining additive content for the topic based on the incomplete entigen group and generating an additive entigen group based on the additive content. The method further includes updating the incomplete entigen group utilizing the additive entigen group to produce an updated entigen group. The method further includes indicating that the updated entigen group has an un-curated status when the additive entigen group conflicts with the incomplete entigen group.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Applicant: entigenlogic LLCInventors: Frank John Williams, David Ralph Lazzara, Donald Joseph Wurzel, Paige Kristen Thompson, Stephen Emerson Sundberg, Ameeta Vasant Reed, Stephen Chen, Dennis Arlen Roberson, Thomas James MacTavish, Karl Olaf Knutson, Jessy Thomas, David Michael Corns, II, Andrew Chu, Theodore Mazurkiewicz, Gary W.

Publication number: 20250148207Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each widely-known word of a query to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a word of the query. The method further includes determining another set of identigens for a remaining word to produce an alternate set of identigens. The method further includes selecting an identigen for each set of identigens to produce a query entigen group.

Publication number: 20250143372Abstract: A vaporizer includes a reservoir (or cartridge) to hold a precursor composition. The reservoir has a passageway that is configured to not allow the free flow of the precursor composition out of the reservoir at ambient temperatures. An infrared radiation source, when activated, heats the precursor composition reducing its viscosity. An entrainment passageway is in communication with an exterior end of the passageway such that when an air flow is induced to pass through the entrainment passageway, the air flow draws the heated precursor composition from the passageway entrains it in the air flow. The entrained precursor may be vaporized and/or further vaporized by heat from the infrared radiation source before being inhaled by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2023Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Noah Mark MINSKOFF, John William RUHSAM, David Ryan CROWE, Mark S.

Patent number: 12289209Abstract: A system is described that combines outputs of network simulations, which are used for capacity planning, with empirical data of network element failure probabilities, to produce what traffic utilization is needed for each network device interface to achieve a specified availability target. Utilization of each interface can be captured for each failure case simulated. From this failure data, the utilization distribution for each link can be produced, across all failure cases. This utilization-by-failure data from simulation is combined with the empirical mean-time between failure (MTBF) and mean-time to recovery (MTTR) of each failure from the span reliability data set. This allows for a prediction of what percentage of time the interface is utilized. Thus, a relationship is established between the capacity provisioned and the percentage of time that the capacity will be uncongested. Network devices can then be added to the network to establish the availability target.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2023Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John William Evans, Ahmed Elmokashfi

Patent number: 12277303Abstract: Different types of media experiences can be developed based on characteristics of the consumer. “Linear” experiences may require execution of a pre-built script, although the script could be dynamically modified by a media production platform. Linear experiences can include guided audio tours that are modified or updated based on the location of the consumer. “Enhanced” experiences include conventional media content that is supplemented with intelligent media content. For example, turn-by-turn directions could be supplemented with audio descriptions about the surrounding area. “Freeform” experiences, meanwhile, are those that can continually morph based on information gleaned from a consumer. For example, a radio station may modify what content is being presented based on the geographical metadata uploaded by a computing device associated with the consumer.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2023Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: DESCRIPT, INC.Inventors: Ryan Terrill Holmes, Steven Surmacz Rubin, Ulf Schwekendiek, David John Williams
