Abstract: A syringe that includes an adapter section and a barrel having a chamber that holds a fluid. The adapter section includes outer and inner walls that form a first groove. The inner wall includes barrel threads and the outer wall includes a first projection. A cap having cap threads engages the barrel threads to removably attach the cap to the adapter section. A locking element having a sidewall that includes a second projection is received in the first groove and removably attached to the cap by an interference fit. Rotation of the cap causes upward movement of the cap that overcomes the interference fit thereby removing the cap. The locking element is prevented from being removed from the first groove due to contact between the first and second projections. Presence of the locking element in the first groove after the cap is removed provides evidence of tampering.

Abstract: A memory circuit includes an array of memory cells arranged with first word lines connected to a first sub-array storing less significant bits of data and second word lines connected to a second sub-array storing more significant bits of data. A row decoder circuit coupled to the first and second word lines generates word line signals. A word line gating circuit is configured to selectively gate passage of the word line signals to the second word lines for the second sub-array in response to assertion of a maximum value signal. A data modification circuit performs a mathematical operation on data read from the array of memory cells, and asserts the maximum value signal if the mathematical operation performed on the less significant bits of data from the first sub-array produces a maximum data value.

Abstract: A memory array includes memory cells forming a data word location accessed in response to a word line signal. A data sensing circuit configured to sense data on bit lines associated with the memory cells. The sensed data corresponds to a current data word stored at the data word location. A data latching circuit latches the sensed data for the current data word from the data sensing circuit. A data modification circuit then performs a mathematical modify operation on the current data word to generate a modified data word. The modified data word is then applied by a data writing circuit to the bit lines for writing back to the memory cells of the memory array at the data word location. The operations are advantageously performed within a single clock cycle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing dynamic responses to a user query are disclosed herein. A system receives a message request from a computing device, and generates an intent associated with the message request based on a pre-processing of the message request. Further, the system concurrently transmits a query to a database for a prestored response to the message request based on the generated intent, and the generated intent to a knowledge source searcher. The knowledge source searcher asynchronously queries one or more knowledge sources for a predicted response to the message request. Furthermore, the system receives the prestored response from the database and the predicted response from the knowledge source searcher, determines a response to the message request, from at least one of the prestored response and the predicted response, based on a scoring model, and transmits the determined response to the computing device.

Abstract: Backup communication paths can be determined for use by different circuits of a network in the event of a failure of active communication paths. The disclosed backup path determination techniques can reduce contention in which multiple circuits share a backup path. Contention metrics are determined for communication paths in the network. The contention metrics are used to determine a communication path for contention reduction. A circuit that uses the communication path as a backup path is selected, and the backup path of the selected circuit is modified to avoid the communication path. Contention metrics can then be recalculated, and contention reduction techniques can be repeated until a desired convergence point is reached.

Abstract: A contact center server provides to an agent device one or more automated response recommendations determined by an executable virtual assistant platform to correspond to customer message data received from a customer device as part of conversation data. Further, the contact center server receives a selection of one of the automated response recommendations from the agent device and identifies agent response data to the customer message data transmitted from the agent device to the customer device. Further, the contact center server, using one or more classification models, determines when there is a change between the selected response recommendation and the identified agent response data. Further, the contact center server associates one or more tags to the identified agent response data in the conversation data when the determination indicates the change.
