  • Publication number: 20240144088
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an interaction summarization system for automatically generating summary output. The interaction summarization system generates a transcript from an interaction including content, the content including at least one of written text, audio speech, non-word symbols, metadata, silences, language characteristics, or acoustic characteristics, wherein the content is attributed to a participant in the interaction, and generates an interaction summary of the transcript using at least one of an extractive machine learning summarization model or an abstractive machine learning summarization model that summarizes the content of the interaction.

  • Publication number: 20240144916
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for generating insights from words and phrases mapped in high-dimensional space. The method includes obtaining a plurality of communications. The plurality of communications comprise a plurality of words and phrases. Further, the method includes obtaining a model configured through training to cluster word representations of the plurality of communications. The method also includes applying a constraint to at least a group of the plurality of communications to obtain at least one modified group. The constraint is at least one of a keyword, a phrase, or groupings of words in phrases. Once the modified group is determined, the method proceeds to representing the at least one modified group into word representations then determining a category for the at least one modified group.

  • Publication number: 20240090531
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to blended meat substitute products and methods of producing the same. In some aspects, a method of producing a meat substitute product can include providing a plant based scaffolding with a carrier material, the carrier material including animal cells, adding a gelation agent to at least one of the plant-based scaffolding, and incubating the carrier material and the plant-based scaffolding in a controlled environment to produce a meat substitute product. In some embodiments, the animal cells can include at least one of skeletal muscle cells, fat cells, connective tissue cells, or skin cells.

  • Patent number: 10258206
    Abstract: A container, in particular a urine bottle formed from maceratable sheet material comprises an enclosing wall and an aperture. The container is expandable from a first, collapsed configuration into a second, expanded configuration. The sheet material has a plurality of fold lines which define one or more recesses in the enclosing wall of the container in the expanded configuration. In the collapsed condition, the container comprises a lower sheet and an upper sheet lying below a sheet, the upper and lower sheets being sealed together along their lateral edges and along a first, end edge between a first, lower end of the lateral edges. The lateral edges taper towards each other and the aperture extends between the second, opposite ends of the lateral edges.

  • Publication number: 20050260414
    Abstract: The present invention provides coatings that provide improved repellency for certain foreign substances, such as low viscosity liquid stainants, and reduced adhesion against other foreign materials, such as high viscosity liquids and slurries. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a coated flooring substrate, comprising a flooring substrate and a coating on the flooring substrate, wherein the coating comprises a cured resin and a low surface energy additive having a fluorocarbon or silicone functional group, in which the cured resin and the low surface energy additive each comprise a cured form of a substantially similar reactive group. The present invention also provides coating mixtures from which any of the coatings of the present invention may be made. The present invention also provides methods for making coating flooring substrates, including sheet flooring and floor tiles, having coatings made according to the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20050165212
    Abstract: A composition comprising (a) a resin composition comprising a block copolymer of the formula hydrocarbon-polyether-polyamide-polyether-hydrocarbon; and (b) a polar liquid. The block copolymer may be prepared by a process comprising reacting together reactants comprising dimer acid, diamine, and a polyether having termination at one end selected from amine, hydroxyl and carboxyl, and termination at another end selected from hydrocarbons. The polar liquid may be one or more of an aromatic liquid, a polar aprotic liquid, a ketone-containing liquid, an ester-containing liquid, an ether-containing liquid, an amide-containing liquid and a sulfoxide-containing liquid. The composition may be a gel at room temperature.

  • Publication number: 20050009943
    Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention provides a coated substrate comprising a substrate, a radiation-cured coating or a thermally-cured on at least a portion of the substrate, wherein the coating comprises an inherent macroscopic texture. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a pre-cured coating mixture comprising a radiation-curable resin and an initiator, or a thermally-curable resin and thermal initiator, wherein the radiation- or thermally-curable resin and the respective initiator form a pre-cured coating mixture capable of forming a macroscopic texture upon application of the mixture on a substrate. In another embodiment the present invention provides a pre-cured coating mixture comprising a radiation- or thermally-curable resin, an initiator, and texture-producing particles having an effective size to provide a macroscopic texture upon application of the mixture on a substrate.
