  • Publication number: 20240428008
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for using large language models to support research activities. The methods and systems include a copilot engine that creates input prompts to provide to the large language model to use in generating responses to input messages. The copilot engine infers an intent of the input messages and sends the intent with the input message in the input prompt to the large language model. The large language model generates different types of responses for different intents.

  • Patent number: 12168205
    Abstract: Described is an apparatus for preparing baby formula using a liquid concentrate solution. The apparatus includes a housing with a cavity for receiving and holding a container liquid concentrate solution. A motor is attached with the housing for forcing liquid concentrate solution from the container and into a mixing chamber. A pump and a water tank are also included. A spray head is attached with the housing. The spray head includes a plurality of spray jets in fluid connection with the pump for receiving water from the water tank and dispensing water from the spray jets into the mixing chamber. Finally, the mixing chamber receives the liquid concentrate solution and water, such that when the water and the liquid concentrate solution are introduced into the mixing chamber, the water and liquid concentrate solution mix into a baby formula and are dispensed from an outlet in the mixing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20240318602
    Abstract: An assembly for a turbomachine includes at least one turbine having a turbine disc with an internal bore and an annular cavity which is arranged upstream of the disc. The assembly further includes a fire safety system with a cooling device that supplies the cavity with cooling air via injection means. The fire safety system includes means that divide the annular cavity into first and second cavities. A cooling air speed is maintained at the outlet of the injection means and the cooling air in the first cavity is guided to the internal bore of the turbine disc. A diffuser co-operates with the injection means and an annular cover co-operates with the diffuser and covers first attachment members arranged in the cavity. A radially outer surface of the cover at least partially guides the cooling air at the outlet of the diffuser.
