Publication number: 20250069597Abstract: Generating expanded responses that guide continuance of a human-to computer dialog that is facilitated by a client device and that is between at least one user and an automated assistant. The expanded responses are generated by the automated assistant in response to user interface input provided by the user via the client device, and are caused to be rendered to the user via the client device, as a response, by the automated assistant, to the user interface input of the user. An expanded response is generated based on at least one entity of interest determined based on the user interface input, and is generated to incorporate content related to one or more additional entities that are related to the entity of interest, but that are not explicitly referenced by the user interface input.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Michael Fink, Vladimir Vuskovic, Shimon Or Salant, Deborah Cohen, Asaf Revach, David Kogan, Andrew Callahan, Richard Borovoy, Andrew Richardson, Eran Ofek, Idan Szpektor, Jonathan Berant, Yossi Matias

Patent number: 11724419Abstract: A fiber laying machine for producing laid fiber scrims has a tool table for positioning a mold, said tool table being linearly displaceable in an x direction by means of an x carriage and being pivotable about a vertical pivot axis. Arranged above the tool table is a fiber laying head which is linearly displaceable transversely to the x direction by means of a y carriage. Since the fiber laying head is linearly displaceable, the arrangement of the tool table on the machine frame is comparatively easy, and so laid fiber scrims are producible quickly and efficiently. In particular, automatic loading and unloading of the tool table is easily possible.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Broetje-Automation GmbHInventors: Armin Baeurle, Sebastian Haupt, Tobias Vester, Matthias Meyer, Michael Fink

Patent number: 11625749Abstract: Various systems and methods for providing a tool to entities that determines the optimal usage of data items are disclosed. For example, the tool can generate a model that uses various characteristics to predict how likely it is that a viewer will watch (or listen to) the media program being promoted. The model can then determine an increase in revenue that would result from the assignment of a media promo using the predicted likelihood and subtracting a known opportunity cost from this determined revenue increase to determine a net revenue value. The model can repeat this determination for any number of viewers and aggregate the determined net revenue values to generate an aggregated net revenue value. The tool may include a user interface in which a content provider can adjust various variables to see how adjusting one or more variables affects the aggregated net revenue value.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: Amanda Held, David Kinsella, David Montague, Michael Fink, Taylor Gregoire-Wright
