Publication number: 20230258711Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for reducing stabilization times. The system includes at least a device-under-test (DUT), a flow generator, and optionally a heat exchanger to accelerate the thermal stabilization of fluid in the DUT during and after it has been filled with test gas. This rapidly equilibrates the temperature of the fluid in the DUT to the heat exchange medium, thereby reducing temperature differentials. The reduced magnitude of the temperature differential reduces the flows associated with temperature change of the fluid due to this thermal stabilization. As a result, this allows the leak test measurement to be made in less time, or for more of the cycle time to be used for leak measurement and, thus increase the accuracy of the test measurement.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Steven WHITE, Richard BRINE

Publication number: 20230252991Abstract: Artificial assistant system notification techniques are described that overcome the challenges of conventional search techniques. In one example, a user profile is generated to describe aspects of products or services learned through natural language conversations between a user and an artificial assistant system. These aspects may include price as well as non-price aspects such as color, texture, material, and so forth. To learn the aspects, the artificial assistant system may leverage spoken utterances and text initiated by the user as well as learn the aspects from digital images output as part of the conversation. Once generated, the user profile is then usable by the artificial assistant system to assist in subsequent searches.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: eBay Inc.Inventors: Farah Abdallah, Joshua Benjamin Tanner, Jessica Erin Bullock, Joel Joseph Chengottusseriyil, Jeff Steven White
