Abstract: A system and method for automatically building chat bot content from scripts of conversations. A script is parsed into query-response pairs, so that a computerized device may be programmed to give the same responses when given similar queries. Each query is converted into canonical form and then matched against patterns, as in prior art chat bots. The response is then linked to the matched pattern. A new chat bot is constructed out of the canonical form conversions and the set of pattern-response links. The chat bot is further improved by adding interactive human conversations, provided that those conversations are rated highly. The resulting chat bot can run on a computer server that responds to public queries, and the server can also display context-sensitive advertisements.

Abstract: A multi-segment belt system is provided for use with a pair of conventional pants. There is a docking strap mountable along the waist region by being suspended on two belt loops of the pants, the strap having a contact binding surface on its front side. There is also a cinching strap having a slot adjacent one end, a grip ring at an opposite end, a contact binding surface on one side suitable to mate with the contact binding surface of the docking strap, and a contact binding surface on an opposite side. A loop element allows a portion of the cinching strap to slide there through, and is connected along an inside surface of a waist band of the pants. There is also a closure member having a button on one side and a contact binding surface on an opposite side.

Abstract: Many-to-one and one-to-many digital image transformations play a significant role in a variety of imaging communications, visualization, and robotic applications. A method is presented for forwarding mapping frames of TV images in a many-to-one mapping using run length encoding. A digital computer system includes a look-up table memory having the address of each input run-length of pixels (a series of side-by-side pixels) and the address of the single output pixel corresponding thereto. An example is a 512.times.512 pixel TV frame which, in real time, is mapped onto a log polar coordinate TV frame of 2000-3000 pixels. This method can be used with existing low-cost general purpose computers providing a speed advantage approximating five-hundred percent, and a memory savings of between 10 and 100,000 times, relative to the current art. As a result, electronic imaging systems employing many-to-one or one-to-many image warps may be built in significantly smaller, cheaper, faster and lower power implementations.
