Abstract: An AI-based asset maintenance system accesses a variety of data sources related to an entity to analyze data regarding one or more damage mechanisms corresponding to the entity thereby identifying and implementing corrective actions that mitigate the effects of the damage mechanisms within the entity. The accessed data is stored using a parameterized data model that represents the entity. A trained parameter model identifies the most significant operating parameters for a given component of the entity for the damage mechanism affecting the component. A projection model is used to perform ‘what-if’ analysis of the most significant operating parameters for determining the instances of minimum and maximum degradation due to the damage mechanism. Corrective actions for mitigating the degradation due to the damage mechanism can be determined based on analysis of the operating parameters and other attributes corresponding to the best and worst case degradation scenarios.

Abstract: Methods and systems for augmenting communications using input data from mobile devices are described herein. A computing device may establish a connection with a mobile device having one or more input devices. The computing device may display a barcode that, when scanned by a mobile device, causes the mobile device to access a web page. The web page may be configured to cause the mobile device to transmit, e.g., via a web browser executing on the mobile device and to the computing device, input data from the input devices. The input data may be used by the computing device to replicate a physical input device connected to the computing device. The computing device may transmit the input data to a different computing device.

Abstract: The disclosed system implements techniques to identify activity in which attendees to a communication session likely have a greater interest. Prior to commencement of a communication session or during the communication session, the techniques enable a list of attendees to a communication session to be designated as a group for which detected activity has a priority with respect to being displayed. The designated list of attendees is a subset of a total number of attendees to the communication session. The system monitors streams associated with individual attendees on the list to detect an occurrence of a preset target event. The system configures a portion of a graphical user interface of the communication session to accentuate the stream that includes the occurrence of the preset target event.

Abstract: The communication system includes a core system having a processor storing user variables representing user-specific information. A messaging system supports communication between a user and an automated bot agent over at least one user-chosen channel employing channel-agnostic context variables. A runtime system mediates a conversation session between user and bot agent, using at least one predefined context variable. A context mapping data store stores a mapping configuration representing a correlation between the channel-agnostic variable of the user-chosen channel and a field in the core CRM system. Using the context mapping data store, the messaging system responds to a communication from the user by querying the context mapping data store to acquire and pass to the runtime system the resolved mapping configuration values corresponding to the user-chosen channel for each defined context variable.
