Abstract: An instantaneous separation system for capturing and recovering oil from an outdoor electrical equipment. The system includes a capture system for capturing a mixture of oil and water and transporting the mixture to an instantaneous separation reservoir. The separation reservoir maintains the separated oil and water separate via a separation plate. A water outlet pipe transports the separated water back to the surroundings, an oil outlet pipe transports the separated oil to an oil reservoir; a nominal water level threshold maintains the separated water at a given water height by directing any water surpassing the water height to the surroundings via the water outlet pipe. The nominal water level threshold and the separation plate ensure that substantially only the separated water enters the water outlet pipe. An oil outlet threshold is positioned at a height that is greater than the height of the nominal water level threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing natural language inputs to determine user intents using an insights repository are provided. An insights repository system is configured to build an insights repository as a data structure representing a plurality of entities and relationships among those various entities. The insights repository system may receive information from various sources via an event stream, and may process the information using event rules. Based on the application of the event rules, the system may configure an insights repository data structure representing various entities, relationships between various entities, and the strengths of relationships between various entities. After the insights repository is created, consumers may execute queries against the insights repository.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for creating conversation models that may be executed by natural language understanding systems and/or intelligent assistant systems, particularly in enterprise and corporate environments. A conversation modeling interface may allow a modeler to position a plurality of graphical conversation-element objects on a canvas region of the interface, to specify associations and relationships between the various represented conversation-elements to define a conversation flow, and to provide input data to define various parameters and characteristics of the conversation-elements of the conversation.

Abstract: A language understanding system is configured to process utterances to predict intents of users, including by suggesting utterances and intents based on searches performed by one or more microservices. A central service is configured to receive inputs/queries from a user, to communicate with a plurality of language processing microservices, and to return a response to the user. The microservices may be configured to apply respective search algorithms comparing the input to respective data sources such as databases, indexes, or knowledge graphs. The microservices may rate utterances and/or entities in the respective data sources with respect to the input. The one or more microservices may generate a ranked list and return the ranked list to the central service. The central service may then apply a secondary rating/ranking algorithm in order to select one or more predicted utterances and/or entities to return to the user based on the initial user input.

Abstract: A track system for use with a vehicle includes an attachment assembly connectable to the chassis of the vehicle having a first pivot extending vertically and defining a yaw pivot axis of the track system, and a second pivot extending laterally and defining a pitch pivot axis of the track system. A frame assembly is disposed laterally outwardly from the attachment assembly and connected thereto. The frame assembly includes at least one wheel-bearing frame member. The track system further includes at least one actuator connected between the attachment assembly and the frame assembly for pivoting the frame assembly about the yaw pivot axis, a leading idler wheel assembly at least indirectly connected to the at least one wheel-bearing frame member, a trailing idler wheel assembly at least indirectly connected to the at least one wheel-bearing frame member, at least one support wheel assembly, and an endless track.

Abstract: A track system for use with a towed vehicle has an attachment assembly and a multi-member frame assembly. The multi-member frame assembly includes a primary frame member connected to the attachment assembly, at least one wheel-bearing frame member pivotably connected to the primary frame member about a pivot located within a recess, and at least one resilient bushing assembly located within the recess and engaging the pivot. The at least one bushing assembly is resiliently deformable in a circumferential direction to permit pivoting of the pivot with respect to the recess, and is fixedly connected within the recess to resiliently bias the pivot towards a rest position with respect to the recess. The track system further includes leading and trailing idler wheel assemblies rotatably connected to the at least one wheel-bearing frame member, and an endless track.

A track system has at least one of the leading idler wheels, trailing idler wheels, and mid-roller wheels including a tire containing a fluid.

Abstract: A field reconfigurable muxponder for use in an optical transport system. The muxponder includes one or more tributary cards, where each tributary card is adapted to receive an optical data signal and conditions the optical data signal into an intermediate data signal constituted in accordance with a tributary interface format. In this way, the muxponder is able to aggregate optical data signals having different protocols and/or different data rates. The muxponder further includes a chassis that is adapted to receive a predefined number of tributary cards and outputs an optical system signal independently from the availability of the optical data signals from the tributary cards. The tributary cards and the chassis integrally form one line card.

Abstract: The bottom surface of the surfboard has a set of transverse ridges which are bowed away from the front of the surfboard, which are symmetrical relative to the longitudinal axis of the board. A channel extends across the edge surface of these ridges and are aligned along the board longitudinal axis. In motion, the moving water not only strikes the rear edge face of the surfboard but also the rear faces of each ridge, thereby increasing its propelling efficiency relative to surfboards devoid of such ridges. A second and a third sets of transverse ridges may be formed in water pockets made on opposite lateral side surfaces of the surfboard. These second and third ridge pockets assist in self-straightening the surfboard should the latter accidentally swerve at least slightly transversely from the general axial direction of displacement.
