Abstract: Implementations relate to executing a tailored version of a dynamic interactive dialog application, where the tailored version is tailored based on structured content that is specified by a creator of the tailored version. Executing the tailored version of the interactive dialog application can be in response to receiving, via an assistant interface of an assistant application, an invocation phrase assigned to the tailored version and/or other user interface input that identifies the tailored version. In some implementations, a tailored version of a dynamic interactive dialog application is executed with persona value(s) that are specified by a creator of the tailored version and/or that are predicted based on structured content and/or other input provided by the creator in creating the tailored version. In some implementations, structured content and/or other input provided by a creator in creating a tailored version of an interactive dialog application is utilized in indexing the tailored version.

Abstract: Systems and methods for information retrieval are provided that permit users and/or processing entities to access and define synthetic data, synthetic objects, and/or synthetic groupings of data in one or more collections of information. In one embodiment, data access on an information retrieval system can occur through an interpretation layer which interprets any synthetic data against data physically stored in the collection. Synthetic data can define virtual data objects, virtual data elements, virtual data attributes, virtual data groupings, and/or data entities that can be interpreted against data that may be stored physically in the collection of information. The system and methods for information retrieval can return results from the one or more collections of information based not only on the data stored, but also on the virtual data generated from interpretation of the stored data.

Abstract: A computer implemented tool and method for assisting users of earphones with selecting an earbud that will provide the best fit for the user. The tool collects image data of the user's ear, along with fit data associated with the user's experience (for example, comfort and/or stability data). The tool further includes a database of ear data and associated objective/subjective data that is utilized to calculate a fit value representative of the quality of fit based on the image data and the fit criteria data generated by the user. The tool will output at least one of an indication of fit level of the earphone in the user's ear based on the fit value, and a recommendation to the user for altering the selected earphone to improve fit of the earphone within the user's ear based on the fit value.

Abstract: An incontinence detection system monitors an area for moisture events and wirelessly transmits moisture-related information to one or more notification devices. The system has a pad that includes a substrate and one or more sensors supported by the substrate. The sensor(s) emit wireless signals indicative of the moisture-related information. A sensor event communication system forwards the sensor signals to another device, such as a notification device. Portions of the system are included in a patient support apparatus, such as a bed.

Abstract: A child's booster seat is provided and can include a booster seat base and seat back. The booster seat base can be collapsed or folded from an in-use configuration to a collapsed configuration to improve portability of the booster seat base. The booster seat base can include multiple seating surface panels that are rotatably coupled to one another to allow the booster seat base to be collapsed from an in-use width to a collapsed width that is less than the in-use width. The booster seat base can also be coupled and decoupled from the booster seat back. The booster seat base can include tab members that can be inserted into tab receiving cavities of the booster seat back. Adjustment of the booster seat base from the in-use configuration to the collapsed configuration can also facilitate removal of the tab members from the tab receiving cavities of the booster seat back.

Abstract: Functionality is disclosed for automated deployment of applications. A network-based deployment service provides functionality for deploying software components to physical or virtual hosts in a service provider network and/or to hosts in other types of networks external to the service provider network. A user of the deployment service creates an application revision that includes deployable content and an application specification defining how the application is to be deployed and one or more lifecycle events. The application revision is then uploaded to a storage service, source code repository, or other location. A deployment configuration is also created that defines the location of the application revision, a deployment group, and a schedule for the deployment. A deployment agent executing on hosts in the deployment group obtains the application revision from the specified location, deploys the deployable content according to the schedule, and performs the lifecycle events.
