  • Patent number: 11888941
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for facilitating two-way communication sessions using serverless cloud-based functions configured in a function-as-a-service (FaaS) system. One example includes accessing a template configured to execute a response based on an event, facilitating a two-way communication session with a user device, and processing data of the two-way communication session to identify an event trigger corresponding to the template. Execution of a serverless cloud-based function associated with the event trigger is requested, and one or more outputs of the serverless cloud-based function associated with the event trigger are integrated into the two-way communication session.

  • Publication number: 20220386789
    Abstract: A device for moving a crib, including two base elements, formed as separate units, for supporting a head or foot region of the cot, wherein each base element has a bottom element for positioning the base element on the ground and a, in particular panel-type, contact element that is moveably arranged relative to the bottom element. One of the two base elements has a drive arranged in the region of a housing of its bottom element and connected to the contact element by a coupling element.

  • Patent number: 10940564
    Abstract: A technique for sensing a weld seam geometry of a plastic butt weld seam, preferably plastic pipes, including: manual positioning of an optical sensor in relation to a butt weld seam between pipeline components, preferably plastic pipes, wherein the sensor is aligned approximately perpendicularly to the pipe centre axis, automatic approaching of the sensor of measurement positions along or around a sensor axis, acquiring the visible weld seam geometry and/or the data by means of the sensor in each approached measurement position, determining the optimum measurement position by way of the acquired data, preferably by means of an algorithm, automatic approaching of the sensor of the optimum measurement position along or around the sensor axis, acquiring the weld seam geometry to determine the quality of the weld seam, analyzing and judging the measurement of the acquired weld seam geometry at the optimized measurement position.
