Publication number: 20240290331Abstract: A system for providing a personalized assistant within a network-based communication session includes a processor and a memory storage device storing instructions. The system determines when a first communication session participant joins the network-based communication session after a threshold duration of time subsequent to the start time of the session.

The request data includes an instruction requesting a predetermined number of suggested utterances not present in the content, each utterance relating to one or more topics corresponding to the content. The system transforms the request data to a command based on a command template and provides the command to the generative language model.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2023Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventors: XIAO YAN LU, AMIR KANTOR, IDO PRINESS, SHIRAZ JITENDRA CUPALA, KEVIN MICHAEL CARTER, ADI MILLER, KUMUD RANJAN, SHYAM GUPTA, GAUTAM JAIN, YASEMIN CENBEROGLU, SHAI IFRACH, SHLOMI MALIAH, GILAD GILDIN, OFEK DAVID, ELEONORA SHTOTLAND, JAIME TEEVAN, MATTHEW JONATHAN GARDNER, LAN YE

Publication number: 20240290330Abstract: A system for providing a personalized assistant within a network-based communication service includes one or more processors and a memory storage device storing instructions thereon. During a network-based communication session, the system receives a query from a computing device of a first communication session participant and processes the query by determining that a second communication session participant has shared content via a content sharing feature of the network-based communication service. In response, the system provides the query and at least a portion of the shared content as input to a model, which dynamically constructs a prompt for use as input with a generative language model. The system then presents the prompt as input to the generative language model, receives a response as output from the generative language model, and causes presentation of the response to be presented to the communication session participant.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2023Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventors: Xiao Yan Lu, Amir Kantor, Ido Priness, Shiraz Jitendra Cupala, Kevin Michael Carter, Adi Miller, Kumud Ranjan, Shyam Gupta, Gautam Jain, Yasemin Cenberoglu, Shai Ifrach, Shlomi Maliah, Jaime Teevan, Lan Ye

Publication number: 20240276632Abstract: A method of forming a flexible interconnect circuit is described. A method may involve laminating a substrate to a conductive layer followed by patterning the conductive layer. This patterning operation forms individual conductive portions, which may be also referred to as traces or conductive islands. The substrate supports these portions relative to each other during and after patterning. After patterning, an insulator may be laminated to the exposed surface of the patterned conductive layer. At this point, the conductive layer portions are also supported by the insulator, and the substrate may optionally be removed, e.g., together with undesirable portions of the conductive layer. Alternatively, the substrate may be retained as a component of the circuit and the undesirable portions of the patterned conductive layer may be removed separately. These approaches allow using new patterning techniques as well as new materials for substrates and/or insulators.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Applicant: CelLink CorporationInventors: Kevin Michael Coakley, Malcolm Parker Brown, Dongao Yang, Michael Lawrence Miller, Paul Henry Lego

Patent number: 12052814Abstract: Provided are flexible hybrid interconnect circuits and methods of forming thereof. A flexible hybrid interconnect circuit comprises multiple conductive layers, stacked and spaced apart along the thickness of the circuit. Each conductive layer comprises one or more conductive elements, one of which is operable as a high frequency (HF) signal line.

Some conductive elements in the same circuit are used for electrical power transmission. All conductive elements are supported by one or more inner dielectric layers and enclosed by outer dielectric layers. The overall stack is thin and flexible and may be conformally attached to a non-planar surface. Each conductive layer may be formed by patterning the same metallic sheet. Multiple pattern sheets are laminated together with inner and outer dielectric layers to form a flexible hybrid interconnect circuit.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2022Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: CelLink CorporationInventors: Kevin Michael Coakley, Malcom Parker Brown, Jose Juarez, Emily Hernandez, Joseph Pratt, Peter Stone, Vidya Viswanath, Will Findlay

Patent number: 12044140Abstract: A stator vane for a turbomachine is provided. The stator vane includes an airfoil that has a nominal suction-side profile substantially in accordance with suction-side Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z set forth in TABLE I. The Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z are defined relative to a point data origin at a base of the airfoil. The Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z are non-dimensional values that are convertible to dimensional distances expressed in a unit of distance by multiplying the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z by a scaling factor of the airfoil in the unit of distance. The X and Y values are connected by smooth continuing arcs to define suction-side profile sections at each Z value. The suction-side profile sections at the Z values are joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil suction-side shape.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2023Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: GE Infrastructure Technology LLCInventors: Matthew John McKeever, Kevin Michael Barnett, Andrew Joseph Kotnour, Grady Pastor, Laia Ferrer-Argemi
