  • Publication number: 20250190604
    Abstract: An LLM is adapted to generate database queries that are compatible with a proprietary database of a security provider. Adapting the LLM includes evaluating performance of the LLM after initial prompt engineering/fine-tuning to ensure that generated database queries are valid (i.e., comport to the database schema and can be executed to return results). When the LLM performance is satisfactory, a dialogue system uses the LLM to generate database queries from user queries. The dialogue system determines intent of each user query, which informs whether the query is supported. Supported user queries are converted to database queries using the LLM and submitted to the database. The dialogue system leverages another language model to generate a summarized, natural language representation of the database query results and constructs a response from the summary. The dialogue system also checks for XSS and prompt injection before database queries are ultimately submitted to the database.

  • Patent number: 12328002
    Abstract: An energy storage system is provided, where the energy storage system may include an energy storage module and a power conversion module. The energy storage module may be configured to generate a target waveform signal on the direct current bus when receiving a black start signal. In this case, the power conversion module may be configured to: detect the target waveform signal on the direct current bus, and turn on based on the target waveform signal. When the power conversion module cannot receive a power-on instruction of an energy management system, the power conversion module may also actively turn on when detecting the target waveform signal on the direct current bus, to implement a black startup. This features low costs and higher applicability.
