  • Publication number: 20240135212
    Abstract: A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing software code, a memory data structure storing memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC), and a trained machine learning (ML) model. The software code is executed to elicit, using the AIIC, a reminiscence from a user, predict, using the trained ML model and the reminiscence, one or more user memory feature(s) of the reminiscence, identify, using the memory data structure, one or more of the memory features for the AIIC as corresponding to the user memory feature(s), and determine, using the user memory feature(s), a mood modifier for a creative composition. The software code is further executed to produce, based on the mood modifier and the corresponding one or more of the plurality of memory features for the AIIC, the creative composition, and provide the creative composition to the AIIC.

  • Publication number: 20240135202
    Abstract: A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing software code, a memory data structure storing memory features for an artificial intelligence interactive character (AIIC), and a trained machine learning (ML) model. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive interaction data describing a communication by a user with the AIIC, predict, using the trained ML model and the interaction data, at least one user memory feature(s) of the communication, and identify, using the memory data structure, one or more of the memory features for the AIIC as corresponding to the user memory feature(s). The software code also determines, using the user memory feature(s) and the corresponding one or more of the memory features for the AIIC, an interactive communication for execution by the AIIC in response to the communication by the user; and outputs the interactive communication to the AIIC.

  • Patent number: 11879314
    Abstract: A downhole system includes a lower completion having at least one tubular including a first end and a second end terminating at a shoe. The at least one tubular defining a flow path. A packer is arranged at the first end. A fluid loss control valve (FLCV) is arranged between the packer and the shoe. A screen system is arranged between the FLCV and the shoe. The screen system includes a screen and a non-mechanically operated flow control valve that selectively isolates the flow path from formation fluids passing through the screen. A wellbore clean out string is insertable into the lower completion. The wellbore clean out string includes a selectively activated casing cleaner and a setting tool. The selectively activated casing cleaner is spaced from the setting tool.

  • Patent number: 8661523
    Abstract: A method and system, used with an extended USB computer system, for locking out USB mass storage devices at the desktop. For lockout activation, a switch at each host computer is set, and causes a host-side lockout process to deliver a downstream lockout signal to the host's associated portal. This signal causes a portal-side lockout process to disallow USB data from a mass storage device from entering the network.

  • Publication number: 20070040087
    Abstract: A bracket useful for suspending terrestrial transportation devices, such as scooters, from a vertical support contains a vertical flange, a horizontal flange, and a support arm. The vertical flange is connected to the horizontal flange, which in turn is connected to the support arm, each preferably perpendicular to the other. The vertical flange of the bracket is connected to the vertical support. One or more scooter supports are located on the support arm. The scooter supports include one or more notches. The necks of suspended scooters nest in the notches of the scooter supports. Scooters are suspended from the bracket by draping the scooters over the support arm, with the deck and steering unit on opposite sides of the support arm. The bracket may be covered with a soft, preferably polymeric, coating to prevent scratches to the terrestrial transportation devices supported by the bracket.
