  • Patent number: 11657797
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230149376
    Abstract: Enfumafungin derivative triterpenoid antifungal compounds are used to treat and/or prevent Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) due to their unexpected efficacy against Pneumocystis spp. including their ability to reduce the lung burden of cyst and trophic forms of this fungi. The enfumafungin derivative triterpenoids (or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or hydrates thereof) are inhibitors of (1,3)-?-D-glucan synthesis and are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of PCP since they demonstrate potent activity against Pneumocystis spp. in in vivo models, exhibit adequate tissue penetration into lungs, and are well tolerated.

  • Patent number: 11651127
    Abstract: Approaches for placing logic of a circuit design include determining respective relative activation rates of control paths in a high-level language (HLL) program by a design tool. The HLL program specifies a circuit design. The design tool compiles the HLL program into logic functions and determines respective relative activation rates of signal connections between the logic functions based on the relative activation rates of the control paths in the HLL program. The design tool selects placement locations on an integrated circuit device for the logic functions using a placement cost minimization function that factors the relative activation rates of the signal connections into placement costs.

  • Publication number: 20230108737
    Abstract: A solid-state lighting fixture assembly having a lighting fixture with a socket configured to receive a plug associated with one or more accessories to allow for easy in-field mounting of accessories, e.g., controls, onto installed lighting fixtures. The socket may be internally electrically connected to an auxiliary power output of a driver and/or to a battery power pack within the lighting fixture assembly, thereby providing direct-current voltage power for the accessory and, also, allowing for signal transmission to and from the accessory. Each accessory includes one or more sensors and communication components to provide the connected lighting fixture assembly with specific capabilities including, but not limited to, motion detection, ambient light level detection, ambient temperature measurement and wireless communications.

  • Patent number: 11552520
    Abstract: An EC motor with a stator and a rotor mounted to a shaft. The motor has a cooling system, an over molded stator housing, and an optimized rotor. The stator has teeth with wound electromagnetic coils. The teeth and coils are distributed circumferentially with gaps between adjacent coils. The stator is over molded with plastic that forms axially oriented cooling passages between adjacent coil sections. An impeller fan then draws air into the motor through air inlets connected to air passages. The impeller fan directs the air through the axially oriented cooling passages in the stator and out air outlets. An optimized internal rotor has permanent magnets and silicon steel laminates spaced circumferentially and extending outwardly from a central hub. Rectangular shaped magnets are interposed in the gaps between the laminates. Wedge-shaped magnets are aligned radially with the laminates and between the laminates and the hub.
