Publication number: 20240134850Abstract: The present disclosure is related to techniques for converting a natural language utterance to a logical form query and deriving a natural language interpretation of the logical form query. The techniques include accessing a Meaning Resource Language (MRL) query and converting the MRL query into a MRL structure including logical form statements. The converting includes extracting operations and associated attributes from the MRL query and generating the logical form statements from the operations and associated attributes. The techniques further include translating each of the logical form statements into a natural language expression based on a grammar data structure that includes a set of rules for translating logical form statements into corresponding natural language expressions, combining the natural language expressions into a single natural language expression, and providing the single natural language expression as an interpretation of the natural language utterance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Chang Xu, Poorya Zaremoodi, Cong Duy Vu Hoang, Nitika Mathur, Philip Arthur, Steve Wai-Chun Siu, Aashna Devang Kanuga, Gioacchino Tangari, Mark Edward Johnson, Thanh Long Duong, Vishal Vishnoi, Stephen Andrew McRitchie, Christopher Mark Broadbent

Patent number: 11961136Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to processing and executing digital asset transfers between two users. An example method includes receiving a data object defining a digital asset transfer, and the data object may be a query from the first user to initiate an outbound transfer to a second user or an approval of a request for digital asset units from the second user. The method further includes retrieving account balance data objects associated with the digital asset accounts for the first and second users. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the digital asset transfer satisfies one or more transfer conditions, executing the digital asset transfer by executing a closed-loop debit from the first user and executing a closed-loop credit to the second user. The method further includes updating the account balance data object to reflect the resulting balances of each digital asset account.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: BAKKT MARKETPLACE, LLCInventors: Nicolas Frederic Cabrera, Jeffrey Scott Pittelkau, Nikolais Linsteadt, Joseph Arthur Revnes, Brian Daniel Cooper, William Matthau, Christopher Michael Petersen, Yamini Bistesh Sagar, Utkarsh Agarwal, Tim Kuchlein, Bharath Lakshmanan, William Andrew Bryant, Stephen Paul Saucier, Deepak Kumar, Anil Jaiswal, Byungkwon Jeon, Balaji Devarasetty

Publication number: 20240095723Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to processing conversions of digital assets to fiat currency. An example method includes obtaining a conversion rate for a digital asset via an API, providing the conversion rate via a client device, receiving a digital asset conversion request and executing a digital asset conversion within a configurable time period. Executing the digital asset conversion includes causing digital asset units to be debited from the digital asset user account and causing fiat currency units to be credited to a fiat currency user account. The method further includes dynamically providing a notification of execution of the digital asset conversion via the client device, updating account balance data objects associated with the digital asset user account and the fiat currency user account, and subsequent to executing the digital asset conversion, executing a fiat currency transaction (e.g., a settlement) with a digital asset exchange system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Christopher Michael Petersen, Jeffrey Scott Pittelkau, Nikolais Linsteadt, Joseph Arthur Revnes, Brian Daniel Cooper, William Matthau, Yamini Bistesh Sagar, Nicolas Frederic Cabrera, Utkarsh Agarwal, Tim Kuchlein, Bharath Lakshmanan, William Andrew Bryant, Stephen Paul Saucier, Deepak Kumar, Anil Jaiswal, Byungkwon Jeon, Balaji Devarasetty

Publication number: 20230345904Abstract: A livestock squeeze chute is operable in parallel-squeeze, V-squeeze and inverted-V squeeze configurations, and has a head gate with a novel guide track construction for robust rolling support of the gate panels, and a neck extender having uniquely positioned actuators that pull the neck extender upwardly into its working position. The squeeze panels are supported in suspended and hinged fashion from a set of movable supports that are displaceable laterally back and forth along a set of overhead support tracks. A pair of upper actuators are operable to move the hinged-equipped supports, and thereby relocate the tops of the squeeze panels, while a set of lower actuators are operable to relocate the bottom ends of the squeeze panels. The head gate's guide track uses two L-shaped bars and a cooperating U-channel to define a pair of enclosed channels in which roller carriages of the two gate panels are respectively received.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2021Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Philip Malcolm Firth, Stephen Arthur Langrell

Publication number: 20230337628Abstract: A portable livestock corral features a central alleyway subdivided into two alleys and having two sets of foldable corral panels for forming livestock pens on opposing sides of the alleyway. On either side of the alleyway, a bud box is selectively deployable at a corner of the respective livestock pen that resides across from an openable/closable alleyway side-gate of the other pen, whereby loading of the alleyway from either pen can exploit such a bud box. Inside the alleyway, an internal swing gate is lockable in different positions to enable opening of both alleys, or selectively closure of either one of the two alleys, which can serve as a livestock-free zone safely occupiable of a human operator. In transport mode, a safety bar with deployable stops at its opposing ends mechanically restrains the folded-up corral panels on both sides of the alleyway for optimal road safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventor: Stephen Arthur Langrell
