Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for initiating communication between users of a user group based on machine learning techniques. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework for automating communication scheduling and communication initiation based on user communication objectives and machine learning techniques. The disclosed framework operates by leveraging available user provided communication parameters, user provided objectives, and various real-time data associated with the users, and using the aforementioned data as inputs for machine learning models, in order to schedule communication between the users, automatically initiate communication between the users, or transmit communication notifications to the users.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence enhanced method for optimizing operational deployment of field resources using network Voronoi Tessellations in combination with the aggregation and consideration of numerous data elements. Resources deployed in the field utilize modes of transportation that are represented by a network topology, which can be influenced by external sources of information that pertain to nodes in the network or nodes in other network topologies, which can be used by an artificial intelligence processor to develop optimized routes for deployed field resources in a continuous manner. The incorporation of these sources of information that can influence the topology of the network is utilized to determine the optimal deployment of field resources.

Abstract: Various arrangements for integrating control of multiple cloud-based smart-home devices are presented. Registration information may be received for a first and second smart-home device that are controlled using different cloud-based server systems. A determination may be made that that the first smart-home device and the second smart-home device share a common function. The first smart-home device and the second smart-home device may be assigned to a common operating characteristic group based on the common function being shared by the first smart-home device and the second smart-home device. A control element may be provided that allows for control of smart-home devices with the common operating characteristic group. The control element may be used to control the common function.

Abstract: Various arrangements for using captured voice to generate a custom interface controller are presented. A vocal recording from a user may be captured in which a spoken command and multiple smart-home devices are indicated. One or more common functions that map to the multiple smart-home devices may be determined. A custom interface controller may be generated that controls the one or more common functions of each smart-home device of the multiple smart-home devices.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for tailoring composite graphical assistant interfaces for interacting with multiple different connected devices. The composite graphical assistant interfaces can be generated in response to a user providing a request for an automated assistant to cause a connected device to perform a particular function. In response to the automated assistant receiving the request, the automated assistant can identify other functions that the connected device is capable of performing. The other functions can then be mapped to various graphical control elements in order to provide a composite graphical assistant interface from which the user can interact with the connected device. Each graphical control element can be arranged according to a status of the connected device, in order to reflect how the connected device is operating simultaneous to the presentation of the composite graphical assistant interface.

Abstract: A reusable shopping bag holder and system and method of using a reusable shopping bag holder and system is disclosed herein. The system includes a primary bag and a plurality of flexible secondary bags. The primary bag includes a plurality of compartments formed by dividers or pockets. The compartments store the secondary bags such that the secondary bags can be removed from the primary bag as necessary to store and carry shopping items. The primary bag itself may also be used to carry shopping items.

Abstract: A method for greasing the mated threads of a valve stem and a stem nut of a motor-operated valve without the need to actuate the valve and without the need for an internal grease path within the stem nut includes pressurizing one end of the thread interface defined by the mating threads with pressurized grease. A device for carrying out the method may include a thread lubricator that has a bore that receives the free end of the valve stem and an adapter nut that attaches the thread lubricator to the valve housing. Pressurized grease flows into the thread lubricator and to the one end of the tread interface.
