Patent number: 11972095Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. Such heavy integration also allows particular embodiments to support multi-modal input from a user for a single conversational interaction. In this way, client application user interface interactions, such as clicks, touch gestures, or text inputs are executed alternative or in addition to the voice utterances.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Tudor Buzasu Klein, Viktoriya Taranov, Sergiy Gavrylenko, Jaclyn Carley Knapp, Andrew Paul McGovern, Harris Syed, Chad Steven Estes, Jesse Daniel Eskes Rusak, David Ernesto Heekin Burkett, Allison Anne O'Mahony, Ashok Kuppusamy, Jonathan Reed Harris, Jose Miguel Rady Allende, Diego Hernan Carlomagno, Talon Edward Ireland, Michael Francis Palermiti, II, Richard Leigh Mains, Jayant Krishnamurthy

Patent number: 11391417Abstract: In one embodiment, a pipeline interchange is described where a first product flows through a first pipeline and a second product flows through a second pipeline. A pipeline interchange is connected downstream to both the first pipeline and the second pipeline, wherein the pipeline interchange blends the first product flowing through the first pipeline with the second product flowing through the second pipeline. A third pipeline is connected downstream to the pipeline interchange, wherein the third pipeline flows a blended product created from the blending of the first product and the second product in the pipeline interchange. An automated analyzer can be situated downstream of the pipeline interchange capable of physical and/or chemically analyzing the blended product and generating blended data.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Paul Rady, Marisa Purificato, Franklin Uba, Ayuba Fasasi

Patent number: 11385216Abstract: In one embodiment, a pipeline interchange flows a product through an upstream pipeline. An automated analyzer is connected to the upstream pipeline to analyze different physical and/or chemically properties in the product and generate data from the product without extracting a sample from the upstream pipeline. An automatic splitter is placed downstream of the automated analyzer, capable of receiving and interpreting the data from the automated analyzer and directing the refined petroleum product into at least three different downstream pipelines, wherein at least one of the downstream pipelines is a transmix pipeline.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Paul Rady, Marisa Purificato, Franklin Uba, Ayuba Fasasi

Patent number: 11378234Abstract: In one embodiment, a process is taught where the process begins by flowing a first product through a first pipeline and flowing a second product through a second pipeline. The process then produces a blended product by mixing both the first product and the second product within a pipeline interchange which is connected downstream to both the first pipeline and the second pipeline. The blended product then flows from the pipeline interchange to a third pipeline that is connected downstream of pipeline interchange. The blended product is analyzed in the third pipeline with an automated analyzer that is capable of physical and/or chemically analyzing the blended product in the third pipeline and generating blended data.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Paul Rady, Marisa Purificato, Franklin Uba, Ayuba Fasasi

Patent number: 11320095Abstract: In one embodiment, a pipeline interchange flows a product through an upstream pipeline. An automated analyzer is connected to the upstream pipeline, wherein the automated analyzer analyzes a sample of the product, and wherein the analyzer is capable of analyzing different physical and/or chemical characteristics of the product and generating a data sample. An automatic splitter is then placed downstream of the automated slipstream analyzer. In this embodiment, the automatic splitter is capable of receiving and interpreting the data sample from the automated analyzer and directing the product into at least three different downstream pipelines, wherein at least one of the downstream pipelines is a transmix pipeline and wherein at least one of the downstream pipelines returns the product upstream of the automated analyzer.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Paul Rady, Marisa Purificato, Franklin Uba, Ayuba Fasasi

Patent number: 11248749Abstract: In one embodiment, the method begins by flowing a product stream through an upstream pipeline comprising a first product stream. The product stream is then continuously analyzed with an automated analyze to produce data. The first product stream downstream is then directed downstream of the automated analyzer to a downstream first product stream pipeline. The method then changes the product stream flowing through the upstream pipeline from the first product stream to a second product stream without purging the first product stream from the upstream pipeline, thereby creating a transmix product stream within the upstream pipeline wherein the transmix product stream comprises a mixture of the first product stream and the second product stream. The data from the automated analyzer is then analyzed with an automatic splitter, wherein the product stream flowing through the upstream pipeline no longer matches the physical and/or chemical characteristics of the first product stream.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Paul Rady, Marisa Purificato, Franklin Uba, Ayuba Fasasi
