  • Patent number: 11676593
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for training an artificial intelligence (AI) of a voice response system. Aspects include receiving, by the voice response system from a user, a voice command to perform a requested action and interpreting, by an AI model, the voice command. Aspects also include performing an action based on the interpretation of the voice command and receiving non-verbal feedback from the user. Aspects further include updating the AI model based on a determination that the non-verbal feedback indicates that the user is not satisfied with the action performed.

  • Patent number: 10318639
    Abstract: Intelligent action recommendation in a conversation monitors content of a conversation among at least two participants in real time. An overall goal of the conversation that represents a motivation for at least one of the participants to engage in the conversation is identified. The overall goal of the conversation is to be achieved upon termination of the conversation. At least one conversational input relevant to the monitored content and having a likelihood of advancing the conversation to successful achievement of the overall goal of the conversation is identified. The identified conversational input is communicated to at least one of the participants in the conversation.

  • Patent number: 9976812
    Abstract: An apparatus for cooling an electrical heat source is disclosed. A heat exchanger has two principal sub-assemblies. A closed-loop fluid flow is provided through a second sub-assembly, disposed next to a heat source. An open-loop fluid flow is provided though a first sub-assembly in communication with a second sub-assembly. Each of the first and second sub-assemblies has a rotational element. The fluid flow entering the first sub-assembly rotates the first rotational element, and magnetic communication between the rotational elements causes movement of the second rotational element, thereby achieving fluid movement within the second sub-assembly. Operationally, the closed-loop sub-assembly removes heat from the heat source and transfers it to the open-loop sub-assembly for subsequent heat transfer in a downstream fluid flow.
