  • Patent number: 12182595
    Abstract: Conversation user interfaces that are configured for virtual assistant interaction may include contextual interface items that are based on contextual information. The contextual information may relate to a current or previous conversation between a user and a virtual assistant and/or may relate to other types of information, such as a location of a user, an orientation of a device, missing information, and so on. The conversation user interfaces may additionally, or alternatively, control an input mode based on contextual information, such as an inferred input mode of a user or a location of a user. Further, the conversation user interfaces may tag conversation items by saving the conversation items to a tray and/or associating the conversation items with indicators.

  • Publication number: 20240424632
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for forming cutting edges including a grinding stage. The grinding stage includes abrading wheels with a strip receiving end configured to receive a strip with a first profile along a path P and a strip exiting end. Axes of the abrading wheels are oriented at a tilt angle relative to the path P. Lands are provided on each abrading wheel with an abrasive surface that varies from fine to coarse in a direction from the strip receiving end to the strip exiting end. The lands are arranged in a spiral helix such that the helix is a right-handed thread on one wheel and a left-handed thread on the other wheel. An improvement is also provided for a system for removing material from a strip of metal incident on the system along a path P.

  • Publication number: 20240424633
    Abstract: A method is provided for forming cutting edges. The method includes a step of providing a grinding stage comprising a pair of abrading wheels that extend from a strip receiving end to a strip exiting end. The method further includes a step of directing a strip of metal at the strip receiving end of the grinding stage along a path P. The method also includes a step of removing material, from the strip of the metal, with an abrasive surface along the pair of abrading wheels which varies from a fine abrasion to a coarse abrasion in a direction from the strip receiving end to the strip exiting end.

  • Publication number: 20240400345
    Abstract: A kit for forming a reel includes a core, at least a first flange and a second flange. The core has at least a first section and a second section, each forming first cylinders between a first edge and a second edge. The first edge of the first section includes a first lateral protrusion extending therefrom, which has a detent. The second section includes a first receiver configured to receive the first lateral protrusion and engage the detent via a retention structure to at least in part couple the first section to the second section. At least one of the first lateral protrusion and the first receiver is elastically deformable. The first flange can be disposed at a first axial end of the core, and the second flange can be disposed at a second axial end of the core.

  • Publication number: 20240390151
    Abstract: Prostheses and methods are described for stabilizing dysfunctional sacroiliac (SI) joints. The prostheses are sized and configured to be press-fit into surgically created pilot SI joint openings in dysfunctional SI joint structures. The prostheses have a pontoon shape with opposed elongated partially cylindrical sections connected by a bridge section. The bridge section can have various shapes, such as a planar-shaped structure, to accommodate the delivery and/or positioning of a primary or supplemental support member or device between the first and second elongated sections, such as a sacral-alar iliac (S2AI) screw or surgical dowel member.

  • Patent number: 12116723
    Abstract: A system for creating folds in textiles. The system includes a tooling plate, a loading assembly, a fold mechanism, a wrangler mechanism, and a door mechanism. The loading assembly enable a user to load a textile into the system. The fold mechanism creates folds in the textile. The wrangler mechanism compacts a textile after folds have been created in it to retain and tighten the folds. The door mechanism opens and closes an opening in the tooling plate through which textiles can be transferred away from the wrangler mechanism. Preferably, the system may also include a robot arm equipped to transfer textiles about the system and a tying machine for applying bindings to textiles.
