Patent number: 11645545Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for training a digital assistant with expert knowledge. An organization or individual utilizing a suite of software applications with a harmonized user experience may employ a digital assistant within the user experience to assist users when problems arise. The digital assistant may field questions and requests in informal and unstructured speech and text, analyze this natural language, and determine an appropriate response. The digital assistant may utilize existing suitable knowledge bases and leverage subject-matter experts. The digital assistant may learn from the expert's response to the user in order to apply the knowledge to a similar question or request in the future.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Stephan Lange, Matthias Kaiser

Patent number: 10944250Abstract: A method is provided for setting up a transmission link for electrical energy, in which at least one superconductive cable and a cryostat surrounding the same are used, the cryostat having two metal tubes arranged concentrically in relation to one another, between which a vacuum insulation is provided. The ends of the cryostat in the assembled state as well as the superconductive cable located in the same are attached on fixed parts of the transmission link. At least at one end of the cryostat, there is gaplessly connected to the same a tube body which is bent by an angle of at least 180° and likewise consists of two metal tubes arranged concentrically in relation to one another, between which a vacuum insulation is provided. The superconductive cable protruding from the cryostat is arranged in the tube body at room temperature in such a way that it runs at least in the direct proximity of the wall of the inner tube of the tube body that has the greater bending radius.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: NEXANSInventors: Mark Stemmle, Stephan Lange
