  • Gas Heat Exchanger with Baffle for Deep Fat Fryer
    Publication number: 20180271326
    Abstract: The present invention provides a deep fat fryer providing an oil vat for holding hot oil. The hot oil of the vat is heated by a heat exchanger system that includes a pair of heat tubes. Heat transfer along a length of the heat tubes is facilitated by a heat conductive baffle substantially filling the interior of the heat tubes in volume and length. Heated air and gas are forced through the dense and elongated baffle to facilitate heat transfer to the walls of the heat tubes.

  • FLEXIBLE AND EXPANDABLE DIALOGUE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20180261205
    Abstract: A system that allows non-engineers administrators, without programming, machine language, or artificial intelligence system knowledge, to expand the capabilities of a dialogue system. The dialogue system may have a knowledge system, user interface, and learning model. A user interface allows non-engineers to utilize the knowledge system, defined by a small set of primitives and a simple language, to annotate a user utterance. The annotation may include selecting actions to take based on the utterance and subsequent actions and configuring associations. A dialogue state is continuously updated and provided to the user as the actions and associations take place. Rules are generated based on the actions, associations and dialogue state that allows for computing a wide range of results.
