Abstract: There are provided solutions for multiagent debate. In a method, a first and a second response representation are determined by a first and a second agent in a plurality of agents based on a first query representation for a query in a natural language, respectively, and the first and second response representations are convertible to a first and a second answer to the query in the natural language, respectively. A second query representation is obtained based on the first query representation, and at least one of the first and second response representations. A response representation is determined based on the second query representation by at least one of the first and second agents, and the response representation is convertible to an answer to the query in the natural language. These agents communicate in an embedding space without a conversion between a natural language format and an embedding format.

Abstract: Disclosed are an electronic device and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Conventionally, most of institutions, companies, etc. have defined and used their own data standards for the business purposes. Most of the data is stored in relational database in a structured format. Now as convergence between industries, new business and new data increases, an active data management system is becoming necessary. The electronic devices according to the disclosure can provide data hub device providing automatically extendable data management function interworking with an open data reference model management device (an active metadata management). Accordingly, the data hubs can exchange standardized data maps among them so as to quickly adapt to such changes in the open industry environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing an item resolution service. Users may add entries to an electronic list (e.g., a grocery list), via voice input, text message, or other input to a mobile, desktop, or web application. The list entries may contain general descriptions (e.g., “milk,” “eggs,” “bread,” etc.) that can be associated with various items available from various suppliers. The item resolution service may determine, for individual list entries, a specific item based on factors such as the user who created the entry, the order or browsing history of that user, the geographic location of another user (e.g., a user who is currently located at a particular grocery store), or other factors. The list entries may thus be converted to items in an electronic shopping cart, which may then be ordered for delivery, in-store pickup, or presented in a manner that facilitates acquiring the items in person.

Abstract: Systems and methods for consolidated ordering are provided. The systems and methods for consolidated ordering may allow merchants to list products for sale and allow users to select products from multiple merchants to be included in a single order, pay for the order, and pick-up the order or receive the order in a single delivery. The systems and methods for consolidated ordering may also determine fees associated with the order, apportion the fees between the user and merchants associated with the order, and apportion payment of the order between the merchants associated with the order. Additionally, the systems and methods for consolidated ordering may determine order preparation instructions for the merchants, pick-up instructions for users, and delivery instructions for delivery services.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting faulty elements in an active planar antenna array of an extremely high frequency (EHF) wireless communication device. A planar antenna array having a matrix of dual-polarization modulated scattering probes is disposed within a near-field region of the antenna under test (AUT). Electromagnetic energy received from the AUT is converted to a complex electrical signal that is modulated by an electrical modulation signal and radiated as a scattering signal. The resulting electromagnetic scattering signal, received and converted to an electrical signal by another antenna, is used in a holographic image reconstruction operation via a backward-propagation transformation to reconstruct the signal spectrum radiated from the surface of the AUT. Configurable (e.g., electrically) scatter probes provide maximized modulation depths (MDs) over wide frequency ranges.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for the automated adjustment of flour property measurement equipment such as dough rheometers. The systems and methods allow measurements of flour and dough to be performed on different rheometers with consistent results, regardless of the manufacturer or location of the rheometers. The systems and methods described herein allow a second rheometer, for example, that is deployed in the field to provide results that are consistent with a first dough rheometer, for example, that may be at a different location, or the same location but of the same or different manufacturer. The systems and methods can be used to calibrate, remotely and in real-time, dough rheometers that are deployed in various locations.

Abstract: The Lopsided Payload Carriage Gimbal in al its embodiments allow Aerial Vehicles and Water-borne vehicles to carry payloads far from the vehicle Geometric Center without significant travel of the vehicle's overall Center of Gravity. Large travel of the CG limits vehicle's performance or renders it inoperable. The embodiments rely on the interaction of the payload and the counter balancing weight through the payload link 18, balancing link 10 main link 14 and battery pylon 8 to substantially reduce the torque generated by the payload in a lopsided position. The embodiments also allow the vehicle carrying the payload to change thrust direction agilely. Finally, the embodiment acts as a mechanical stabilization device for the payload as well. This invention is adaptable to all forms of hover-capable aerial vehicles as well as water-borne vehicles.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting faulty elements in an active planar antenna array of an extremely high frequency (EHF) wireless communication device. A planar antenna array having a matrix of dual-polarization modulated scattering probes is disposed within a near-field region of the antenna under test (AUT). Electromagnetic energy received from the AUT is converted to a complex electrical signal that is modulated by an electrical modulation signal and radiated as a scattering signal. The resulting electromagnetic scattering signal, received and converted to an electrical signal by another antenna, is used in a holographic image reconstruction operation via a backward-propagation transformation to reconstruct the signal spectrum radiated from the surface of the AUT. A comparison of this reconstructed signal spectrum with a reference signal spectrum radiated from the surface of a known good antenna array enables detection of faulty antenna elements within the AUT.
