  • Publication number: 20230234525
    Abstract: An object-sensing bumper extension comprises a durable and flexible material. The bumper extension is connected to the bumper of a vehicle such as a lift truck to detect encroachment and/or impact between the vehicle and an operator or other object. A non-contact sensor detects encroachment of an object within an impact danger zone arranged immediately in front of and near the sides of the vehicle. An impact sensor detects impact between the vehicle and an object. A control system receives sensor signals and initiates a reaction operation of the vehicle in response to sensor activity. The reaction operation can include slowing the vehicle down, stopping the vehicle, and/or reversing the vehicle. The bumper extension can include a plurality of outwardly angled, substantially parallel ridges that deform outwardly and downwardly to push an impacted object away from danger and to fill a gap between the vehicle and the ground.

  • Patent number: 11156926
    Abstract: An actuator for an optic mount in a vacuum environment includes a bellows around an actuator compartment. The bellows provides a seal around the actuator. A filter assembly is positioned between the actuator compartment and an interior of a vacuum chamber. The filter assembly includes a first particle filter, a second particle filter, and a purifier medium between the first particle filter and the second particle filter. Vacuum conditions in the actuator compartment can be achieved with a pump for the vacuum chamber, but particles and contaminants from the actuator or actuator compartment are captured by the filter assembly.

  • Patent number: 10614381
    Abstract: This disclosure involves personalizing user experiences with electronic content based on application usage data. For example, a user representation model that facilitates content recommendations is iteratively trained with action histories from a content manipulation application. Each iteration involves selecting, from an action history for a particular user, an action sequence including a target action. An initial output is computed in each iteration by applying a probability function to the selected action sequence and a user representation vector for the particular user. The user representation vector is adjusted to maximize an output that is generated by applying the probability function to the action sequence and the user representation vector. This iterative training process generates a user representation model, which includes a set of adjusted user representation vectors, that facilitates content recommendations corresponding to users' usage pattern in the content manipulation application.

  • Patent number: 10148776
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing a plurality of clickstreams associated with a resource to identify popular navigational patterns traversed by users of the resource. The analysis provides a navigational framework for performing continued analysis on segmented portions of the identified navigational patterns. To facilitate the analysis, clickstreams associated with the resource are analyzed to identify sets of clickstreams that have a common group of assets with which users of the resource interacted. Navigational patterns, which include commonly traversed series of assets interacted with by the users, are determined for the identified sets. The navigational pattern is then provided to identify popular navigational patterns traversed by users of the resource.

  • Publication number: 20180276397
    Abstract: The disclosed invention comprises Systems and Methods for delivery of mobile applications' requests for services to network devices or apparatus in a secure environment. The invention features web-based configuration services allowing for the definition of delivery systems' components, including mobile devices, delivery channels, machine handlers, endpoints and pre-authentications. Machine handlers are pre-authenticated to access endpoints. Mobile applications encode their requests and send these encoded requests in message bodies to a message server. Delivery handlers send these messages to machine handlers for specified endpoints based on configuration. Machine handlers decode and submit the requests to endpoints, e.g. a printer. The invention therefore allows a user to send a mobile application request to a secured network device, such as an endpoint printer, with no intervening actions such as unwanted security requests.

  • Patent number: 8676583
    Abstract: An action is performed in a spoken dialog system in response to a user's spoken utterance. A policy which maps belief states of user intent to actions is retrieved or created. A belief state is determined based on the spoken utterance, and an action is selected based on the determined belief state and the policy. The action is performed, and in one embodiment, involves requesting clarification of the spoken utterance from the user. Creating a policy may involve simulating user inputs and spoken dialog system interactions, and modifying policy parameters iteratively until a policy threshold is satisfied. In one embodiment, a belief state is determined by converting the spoken utterance into text, assigning the text to one or more dialog slots associated with nodes in a probabilistic ontology tree (POT), and determining a joint probability based on probability distribution tables in the POT and on the dialog slot assignments.
