  • Publication number: 20240007422
    Abstract: A chat bot capable of seamlessly acquiring, in response to user input in a chat session, information necessary for an appropriate chat scenario for assisting the user from an external system and dynamically generating a chat scenario. Accordingly, the chat bot control device includes an external data acquisition unit for acquiring, in a chat session between a user and a chat bot, chat scenario creation data for generating a chat scenario from a predetermined external system based on a first input from the user; a scenario generation unit for generating, based on the chat scenario creation data, a first chat scenario that specifies transitions of a dialogue between the user and the chat bot using predetermined scenario conversion logic that defines a chat scenario generation pattern; and a scenario execution unit for executing the first chat scenario in the chat session.

  • Patent number: 5952831
    Abstract: A small-sized, inexpensive automatic sample exchange device for use with an NMR spectrometer. The exchange device has a mechanism acting to convey sample tubes and also to grip them. The exchange device includes a disk plate located just above a sample inlet hole formed in the spectrometer. The disk plate has a fringe portion provided with a recess. The sample tubes are inserted into a given number of sleeves, which are mounted to a turntable and to the disk plate. An ultrasonic motor rotates the turntable, the disk plate, and the sleeves integrally. When the sleeves register with the recess in the disk plate, the fringe portion of the disk plate does not protrude into holes formed in the sleeves. When the sleeves do not register with the recess, the fringe portion protrude into the holes in the sleeves, thus gripping the sample tubes.

  • Patent number: 5295897
    Abstract: A fish fin remover that is capable of guiding a fish fin to be removed through a clearance to a rotary blade without difficulty for cutting the fin at its root accurately. The fish fin remover includes a guide frame having a step which allows the circumferential edge of the rotary blade to be accommodated in the guide frame so that the bottom of the guide frame across the clearance of the guide frame is substantially on a level with the lower surface of the rotary blade.
