Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a topology of components based on a set of components provided by a user. The system identifies, for each particular component of the first set of components, one or more characteristics. The characteristics may include at least one of: a rule associated with the particular component, a requirement associated with the particular component, a data input type corresponding to the particular component, and data output type corresponding to the particular component. Based on the characteristics, the system determines that an additional component not included in the first set of components is required for connecting the first set of components. The system selects the additional component and determines a topology of components that includes the first set of components and the additional component. The system also determines a dataflow between components in the topology of components.

Abstract: Method for viewing and selecting production resources, in particular peripheral devices, for the injection molding industry, which are organized in at least one work cell for producing an injection-molded part and connected to one another via a network. Following a manual storage request on a control device, in particular a work cell controller, or on a production resource, in particular a processing machine, all connected production resources are queried and defined data, such as the respective settings, as well as program sequences, formulations and other configurations, are read out from these and, together with the internal settings, in particular those of the processing machine, combined to form a mold data record for this injection-molded part. A listing of production resources for the injection-molded part producible on this processing machine can be automatically generated from the mold data record and displayed at an output location, preferably of the processing machine.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to providing multilevel chained testing. A modeling manager receives a request for data associated with an experience having multiple levels of testing, whereby each lower level of testing has a set of one or more variants chained to a variant of a higher level. Based on the request, the model manager determines which variant of the multiple levels of testing to provide to a user. The determining comprises detecting a lowest segment the user is a member of, whereby each segment level corresponds to a level of testing, and selecting a variant from a corresponding set of one or more variants of the lowest sub-segment, a chained variant of a parent segment, or a control value. The modeling manager transmits a response to an experience component that includes the selected variant, and the experience component causes presentation of the experience with the selected variant.

Abstract: A method for controlling vehicle propulsion may include identifying at least one route characteristic of a portion of a route being traversed by a vehicle and determining a profile for a target vehicle speed based on the at least one route characteristic and a vehicle energy consumption profile. The method may also include, in response to detecting a lead vehicle, determining a vehicle speed of the lead vehicle and determining whether to avoid triggering initiation of the vehicle follow mode by the vehicle propulsion controller based on (i) a distance between the vehicle and a triggering threshold and (ii) the vehicle speed of the vehicle. The method may also include, in response to not triggering vehicle follow mode, determining, based on the vehicle speed of the lead vehicle and the profile for the target vehicle speed, a traveling distance between the vehicle and a trigger threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for implementing an artificial-intelligence modeling utility system. One method includes receiving, by a modeling manager, a schema from an experience module that implements features of an online service. The modeling manager manages a plurality of machine-learning (ML) models, provides a user interface (UI) based on the schema for entering experiment parameter values, and configures one or more ML models for the experiment. The experiment is initialized, and during the experiment, the modeling manager receives a request from the experience module for data associated with the experiment and selects one of the configured ML models for providing a response to the request. The response is obtained from the selected ML model based on input provided to the ML model based on the request, and the modeling manager sends the response to the experience. Further, results of the experiment are presented.

Abstract: A system may provide, via a user interface, information identifying two or more of trending search-related information, trending video-related information, trending image-related information, or trending news-related information. The two or more of the trending search-related information, the trending video-related information, the trending image-related information, or the trending news-related information are visually presented as graphical items. Each graphical item, of the graphical items, is visually identified as corresponding to the trending search-related information, the trending video-related information, the trending image-related information, or the trending news-related information. The user interface presents multiple graphical items simultaneously. The system may further receive information identifying a topic, and provide, based on receiving the information identifying the topic, a subsequent group of graphical items, on the user interface.

Abstract: A customer of a multi-channel message exchange system provides criteria for selecting a service provider using an application programming interface (API). The multi-channel message exchange system selects a service provider that is best suited to deliver each individual message, via a network, for the customer.
