Abstract: Eyewear hinge assemblies for eyewear that connect temples to a frame. The hinge assemblies include hinge elements that are attached to the temples in an extended state, which stores an initial amount of energy or pre-load. The pre-load biases the temples inwardly and toward one another. After the temples are placed on the user's head, stored energy in the hinge elements can be released as the hinge elements exhibit elastic recoil. This causes the temples to grip the sides of the user's head in a snug and comfortable fit. The hinge assemblies have compact designs with material properties that provide comfortable closing forces while aiding in the reduction of electromagnetic noise from electrical subsystems in the eyewear.

Abstract: A housing assembly for an electronics-enabled device includes a housing wall having parallel inner and outer faces, with a hinge base affixed through the wall. The hinge base has a shank extending through the wall and a joint mount exterior to the housing for hingedly mounting an external component. An anchor plate inside the housing is welded to the shank, preventing axial withdrawal of the hinge base by obstruction against the inner face. The welded connection rotationally keys the anchor plate to the hinge base. The assembly enables integration of electronics components mounted on the anchor plate, which can serve as a thermal conductor between heat-generating components and an external heatsink via the hinge base. In electronics-enabled eyewear, the hinge base provides hinged connection of a temple to an eyewear frame. Manufacturing involves locating the hinge base and anchor plate, translationally fastening them together threadedly, and spot-welding for rotational keying.

The permanent magnetic plastic material forms radially extending portions disposed between the laminate sections and an internal ring portion located radially inward from the laminate sections. The permanent magnetic plastic material, once cured, engages retaining features in the laminate sections to restrict radial displacement.

Abstract: An artificial gravity heating system includes a cylindrical compartment formed of a hollow cylinder having a bottom base and an open top end. An electric motor rotates the cylindrical compartment to provide centripetal motion of materials inside the cylindrical compartment. While rotating, the materials move towards an inner wall of the cylindrical compartment. A heating element is conductively coupled along an outer wall of the cylindrical compartment for heating the materials against the inner wall via conduction. A temperature sensor is operatively coupled to the cylindrical compartment for monitoring a temperature of the cylindrical compartment. A controller is configured to control operation of the heating element based on the temperature monitored via the temperature sensor. An artificial gravity heating method is used to process materials including heating ingredients to cook food. The artificial gravity heating system may also be configured as a vapor generator, dehydrator or a gasification generator.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for configuring agents for use by digital assistants that use generative artificial intelligence. An agent may be in the form of a container that is configured to have one or more actions that can be executed by a digital assistant.

Abstract: Techniques are described for invoking and switching between chatbots of a chatbot system. In some embodiments, the chatbot system is capable of routing an utterance received while a user is already interacting with a first chatbot in the chatbot system. For instance, the chatbot system may identify a second chatbot based on determining that (i) such an utterance is an invalid input to the first chatbot or (ii) that the first chatbot is attempting to route the utterance to a destination associated with the first chatbot. Identifying the second chatbot can involve computing, using a predictive model, separate confidence scores for the first chatbot and the second chatbot, and then determining that a confidence score for the second chatbot satisfies one or more confidence score thresholds. The utterance is then routed to the second chatbot based on the identifying of the second chatbot.
