  • Publication number: 20250231972
    Abstract: User interactions may be managed through a combination of automated language model prompts and feedback from a human agent. An implementation may include a communication processing circuit that receives and updates the session context with a user's natural language communication. A prompt generator circuit creates prompts that include the user's communication and descriptions of response types, such as replying to the user or requesting human agent assistance. The language model processes these prompts and generates responses, which are routed accordingly by a response routing circuit-either to the user or to a human agent for assistance. Additionally, a feedback circuit collects feedback from the human agent to update the session context.

  • Publication number: 20250232126
    Abstract: Natural language communications may be automated using language models and session contexts. A first session context may be created for communications between a language model and a first entity. Prompts may be generated using this session context, and responses from the language model may be used to communicate with the first entity. A second session context may also be created for communications between a language model and a second entity. Context transfer information may be generated by processing the first session context with a language model. The context transfer information may be added to the second session context. The second session context with the context transfer information may then be used to generate a communication to the second entity using a language model.

  • Publication number: 20250232125
    Abstract: An automated support process implemented with a language model may be improved by allowing a human agent to provide input to the language model to fix mistakes or otherwise improve the automated support process. In some implementations, a language model prompt may be used to instruct a language model to be able to provide a response that includes requesting assistance from a human agent. The request for assistance may then be sent to the human agent and a response from the human agent may then be processed by the language model to allow the language model to provide better responses for the support process. In some implementations, a human agent may monitor automated support sessions and provide unrequested input into a support session where needed to improve the quality of the support session.

  • Publication number: 20240337762
    Abstract: An inertial coasting monitoring system comprises aiding sensors onboard a vehicle, including a GNSS receiver and at least one non-GNSS aiding sensor, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that produces inertial measurements for the vehicle. A navigation system is coupled to the aiding sensors and the IMU. The navigation system comprises a main navigation filter and an inertial navigation system (INS). The navigation filter receives aiding data from the aiding sensors including GNSS aided data, and the INS receives inertial data from the IMU. An onboard inertial coasting monitor communicates with the navigation system, and receives inertial data from the IMU and aiding data from at least one non-GNSS aiding sensor. The inertial coasting monitor comprises inertial coast sub-filters and communicates with the navigation filter. The inertial coasting monitor performs a position detection process and/or a velocity detection process to detect if there is a fault in the aiding data.

  • Patent number: 11898662
    Abstract: A hose assembly includes an inner hose component, a first braid of reinforcement fiber material that extends around the inner hose component, and a second braid of reinforcement fiber material that extends around the first braid. The first braid and the second braid each has a 3 over 3 braid design, and the first braid has a first modulus and the second braid has a second modulus different from the first modulus. The first braid may be a high strength braid having a strength greater than a strength of the second braid, and the second braid may be a high modulus braid having a modulus greater than a modulus of the first braid. The hose assembly optionally may have a third braid with a high angle configuration of the braid segments. The hose assembly may be combined with an enhanced fitting for securing the hose assembly to fluid system equipment.

  • Patent number: 11832806
    Abstract: Suture buttons are disclosed for fixing two bones together. The suture buttons may enable surgeons to more easily and effectively implement a suture button technique, such as to repair syndesmosis injuries in ankles. A first suture button includes a pulley peg extending from a button head. The pulley peg may be positioned with a bone hole upon installation of the first suture button, which may help protect suture and help reduce potential patient discomfort. The second suture button helps facilitate the second suture button flipping into place upon deployment from a button inserter. Each of the first and second provided suture buttons may help reduce friction between the respective buttons and suture during an installation procedure. The first and second provided suture buttons may be used together in a surgical procedure or individually with other suitable buttons or anchors.

  • Patent number: 11588759
    Abstract: A company may implement automated workflows for convenience of users or to reduce support costs. For example, allowing a user to change an address using an automated workflow may be faster or less expensive than with a human agent. Companies may provide support over different types of communications channels with different capabilities, such as voice channels and text channels. Instead of implementing different workflows for different channels, a company may separate aspects of the workflow that are common to different channels from aspects of the workflow that are different for different channels. For example, a workflow may be implemented to determine an action in response to a received communication where the action may be used with multiple channels. The action may then be used to select an action implementation that is specific to a channel.

  • Patent number: 11378403
    Abstract: Using geo-mapping data and only at least one inertial sensor, a Bayesian estimator uses at least one element of an uncorrected inertial navigation vector, of a moveable object on a surface, to estimate inertial navigation error information including corresponding statistical information. The estimated inertial navigation error information is used to error correct the uncorrected inertial navigation vector. The Bayesian filter also predicts inertial navigation error information, including corresponding statistical information, for a future time instance when a next uncorrected inertial navigation vector will be obtained.
