  • Patent number: 11745995
    Abstract: Cartridge loaders for fluid mixture dispensing systems are disclosed. One disclosed fluid mixture dispensing system comprises an interface surface, a cartridge receiver carriage, and an actuator configured to depress the cartridge receiver carriage towards the interface surface to load a cartridge. The fluid mixture dispensing system is configured to apply continuous downward pressure on the cartridge towards the interface surface when the cartridge is loaded and is in contact with the interface surface.

  • Patent number: 11727220
    Abstract: Techniques are described related to prior context retrieval with an automated assistant. In various implementations, instance(s) of free-form natural language input received from a user during a human-to-computer dialog session between the user and an automated assistant may be used to generate a first dialog context. The first dialog context may include intent(s) and slot value(s) associated with the intent(s). Similar operations may be performed with additional inputs to generate a second dialog context that is semantically distinct from the first dialog context. When a command is received from the user to transition the automated assistant back to the first dialog context, natural language output may be generated that conveys at least one or more of the intents of the first dialog context and one or more of the slot values of the first dialog context. This natural language output may be presented to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230029783
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for providing context specific schema files that allow an automated assistant to broker human-to-computer dialogs between a user and an application that is separate from the automated assistant. The context specific schema file can provide the automated assistant with sufficient data to be responsive to user queries without necessarily communicating with a remote device, such as a server. Multiple different context specific schema files can be made available to the automated assistant according to a context in which a user is interacting with the automated assistant. In this way, latency otherwise exhibited by the automated assistant can be mitigated by providing the automated assistant with the information needed to respond to a user without continually retrieving the information over a network.

  • Publication number: 20230008181
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing referrer data to an application are provided. One method includes receiving a first set of data packets indicating a command to navigate from a first resource to a second resource. The first set of data packets identifies the first resource and secondary referrer data associated with the first resource or a first content item on the first resource. The method includes rendering the second resource and a second content item provided within the second resource. The method includes receiving a selection of the second content item. The method includes generating a second set of data packets including the secondary referrer data and primary referrer data associated with the second resource or the second content item. The method includes transmitting the second set of data packets to a server, receiving a deeplink generated by the server, and rendering a content interface using the deeplink.

  • Patent number: 11550846
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for transferring dialog sessions between devices using deep links. The dialog sessions can correspond to interactions, mediated by an automated assistant, between a user and a third party application. During the dialog session, a user can request that the dialog session be transferred to a different device, for example, to interact with the third party application through a different modality. In response, the automated assistant and/or the third party application can generate a link that can be transferred to the transferee device to allow the transferee device to seamlessly take over the dialog session. In this way, computational resources and electrical power can be preserved by not requiring a recipient device to re-process natural language inputs previously provided during the dialog session.

  • Patent number: 11505443
    Abstract: A fluid mixture dispensing system using a membrane to seal multiple reservoirs is disclosed. The multiple reservoirs each contain a respective ingredient. The reservoirs are coupled to respective orifices in a plate. The respective ingredients are dispensable via the respective orifices. The membrane seals the respective orifices. The ingredients are dispensed into one or more channels formed between the membrane and the plate. In specific embodiments, the membrane is an integral part of a cartridge which contains the multiple reservoirs. In specific embodiments, the cartridge includes an inlet and an outlet. A solvent flows from the inlet to the outlet through the one or more channels, and the ingredients are dispensed into the solvent in the one or more channels.

  • Publication number: 20220335121
    Abstract: Data transfer in a secure processing environment is provided. A digital assistant can receive audio input detected by a microphone of a computing device. The digital assistant can determine, based on the audio input, to invoke a third-party application associated with the computing device. The digital assistant can generate, responsive to the determination to invoke the third-party application, a packaged data object. The digital assistant can forward, to the third-party application invoked by the digital assistant component to execute in a secure processing environment on the computing device, the packaged data object. The third-party application can transmit, responsive to a digital component request triggered in the third-party application, the packaged data object to a digital component selector to execute a real-time selection process based on the packaged data object.

  • Publication number: 20220245688
    Abstract: A method includes identifying a first application for which a feedback of a user of a user device is desired. The method further includes identifying previous user interactions with one or more second applications. The previous user interactions comprise one or more positive interactions comprising at least one of: providing corresponding feedback that meets a threshold rating via a corresponding prompt to rate the one or more second applications; sharing at least one of the one or more second applications with one or more users via the corresponding prompt; or a rating for the one or more second applications that does not meet the threshold rating and that has an accompanying comment. The method further includes, responsive to a quantity of positive interactions satisfying a threshold condition, causing the user device to display, to the user, a prompt for the feedback for the first application.
