  • Publication number: 20250103801
    Abstract: This disclosure covers systems and methods that define a prompt for a large language model that references dynamic experience data content and based on a model output, determines at least one action to perform. In certain embodiments, by defining a prompt for a large language model and receiving an experience data instance from a respondent device, the disclosed system sends the experience data instance with the defined prompt to the large language model. Further, the disclosed system receives a model output from the large language model, where the first model output is generated based on the large language model analyzing the experience data instance according to the prompt.

  • Patent number: 11970277
    Abstract: The present invention includes a hybrid propulsion system for an aircraft comprising: an engine disposed within a fuselage of the aircraft, two electrical generators disposed within the fuselage and connected to the engine, and two nacelles. Each nacelle comprises a proprotor, and each nacelle houses two electric motors connected to the proprotor. Each electrical generator is connected to the two electric motors in each nacelle. The proprotors provide lift for vertical takeoff and landing in a helicopter mode. A fan is coupled to the fuselage and connected to two additional electric motors. Each additional electric motor is connected to one of the two electric generators. The fan provides thrust for forward flight during an airplane mode. The airplane mode includes increasing power to the fan while decreasing power to the proprotors to zero.

  • Patent number: 11934844
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that relay domain-event objects within an enhanced multi-platform data stream to listen for and react to digital events indicated by the domain-event objects that occur across a wide variety of computing platforms. Specifically, the disclosed systems can receive domain-event objects within the multi-platform data stream. From among the domain-even objects transmitted through the multi-platform data stream, the disclosed systems can identify a domain-event object that is relevant to a digital-analytics platform by identifying domain-event objects that include properties satisfying domain-event-listener rules. Based on an entity identifier and an object event from the relevant domain-event object, the disclosed systems can perform a platform action within the digital-analytics platform (e.g., to react to a change in another platform as indicated by the domain-event object).

  • Patent number: 11853537
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that provide a graphical user interface for intuitively generating digital action sequences across one or more digital platforms. For example, the disclosed systems generate graphical user interfaces with tools to construct digital action sequences of platform actions performed based on event triggers. To facilitate building such digital action sequences, in some cases, the disclosed systems provide data for digital-action-sequence templates for easy selection of pre-matched event triggers and platform actions or tools to mix-and-match combinations of specific event triggers and platform actions. By providing such intuitive tools in a centralized graphical user interface, the disclosed systems can connect events across multiple platforms or across disconnected components of a single platform.

  • Publication number: 20230277829
    Abstract: An applicator for a microprojection array is described. In one embodiment, the applicator comprises an energy-storing element. Application of force causes the compressed energy-storing element to extend or transition from first and second configurations, releasing stored energy to deploy a holding member in the application which is configured to hold an array of microprojections. In another embodiment, the applicator comprises an energy storing element with two stable configurations, a first stable configuration and second stable configuration. Application of force causes the energy-storing element to transition from the higher energy first stable configuration to the lower energy second stable configuration, releasing the difference in energies of the two states to deploy a holding member in the application which is configured to hold an array of microprojections.

  • Patent number: 11692622
    Abstract: A transmission includes a gearing arrangement configured to shift speed ratios by disengaging an off-going shift element and engaging an oncoming shift element and an electrohydraulic valve having an actuatable valve element configured to control an engagement state of the oncoming shift element. A controller is programmed to, during a shift of the transmission, in response to the off-going shift element disengaging and an expected ratio change not initiating, monotonically increase current to the valve to a maximum value to overcome frictional resistance on the valve element, and programmed to, in response to expiration of a timer and the ratio change still not initiating, send a repeating pattern of high and low current signals according to a duty cycle to overcome frictional resistance of the valve element.
