  • Patent number: 12417128
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide techniques for automatic compute environment scheduling using machine learning (ML). This includes identifying a first compute resource among a plurality of compute resources operating in a compute infrastructure, where the first compute resource is in a first operational state. It further includes determining, based on comparing a first time with a compute resources schedule generated using an ML model, that the first compute resource should be placed in a second operational state different from the first operational state. It further includes determining whether the compute resources schedule should be disregarded, and either (1) in response to determining that the compute resources schedule should not be disregarded, placing the first compute resource in the second operational state, or (2) in response to determining that the compute resources schedule should be disregarded, allowing the first compute resource to remain in the first operational state.

  • Publication number: 20250278287
    Abstract: In some implementations, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: receiving, by a processor, a natural language instruction from a client device, the natural language instruction describing a task utilizing a software application; generating, by the processor, a user interface action representing the natural language instruction, the user interface action generated by a large language model responsive to an input prompt; executing, by the processor, the user interface action within the software application; and transmitting, by the processor, a result of executing the user interface action to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20220391575
    Abstract: A system for auto generating agreements wherein a requester can initiate a contract generation and provide requested data for auto creation of an agreement from a dynamic document template with optional terms and clauses dependent on the provided data. The dynamic document is then formatted to generate a static document for routing and collecting electronic signatures. The executed document can be stored in a central repository and associated with the original provided data, generate metadata, the agreement terms, and other transaction specific information for subsequent retrieval and/or analysis.

  • Patent number: 11307012
    Abstract: An explosive threat mitigation unit (TMU) stands ready to receive a suspected bomb, enclose it, and contain the explosion if one occurs. An operator protects bystanders and surroundings by putting the suspected bomb in a TMU and then closing the TMU. If the bomb goes off, the TMU mitigates the effects of both the blast and the fragments. One variation has a container, a tube, a cap, and a door. The container includes an opening. The tube, arranged in the container, aligns with the opening. The cap slides through the opening and over the tube. The door slides into place to close the opening and enclose the cap within the container.
