Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods that use dialogue systems associated with various machine systems and applications are described. For instance, the systems and methods may receive text data representing speech, such as a question associated with a vehicle or other machine type. The systems and methods then use a retrieval system(s) to retrieve a question/answer pair(s) associated with the text data and/or contextual information associated with the text data. In some examples, the contextual information is associated with a knowledge base associated with or corresponding to the vehicle. The systems and methods then generate a prompt using the text data, the question/answer pair(s), and/or the contextual information. Additionally, the systems and methods determine, using a language model(s) and based at least on the prompt, an output associated with the text data. For instance, the output may include information that answers the question associated with the vehicle.

Abstract: An elongate fuel element is described that has a silicon carbide cladding enclosing a fuel, such as UO2, wherein the fuel is dimensioned relative to the cladding to define gaps at each lateral end of the enclosure sufficiently large such that upon swelling in use, the fuel does not increase the strain on the cladding beyond the limits of the claddings strain tolerance. The lateral gaps at the ends of the fuel allow lateral expansion during swelling that reduces the strain on the cladding.
