Abstract: The present teaching relates to generating a conversational agent. In one example, a plurality of input utterances may be received from a developer. A paraphrase model is obtained. The paraphrase model is generated based on machine translation. For each of the plurality of input utterances, one or more paraphrases of the input utterance are generated based on the paraphrase model. For each of the plurality of input utterances, at least one of the one or more paraphrases is selected based on an instruction from the developer to generate selected paraphrases. The conversational agent is generated based on the plurality of input utterances and the selected paraphrases.

Abstract: A vent for venting of exhaust from a building comprising at least one inlet for receiving the exhaust from the building into the vent; at least one valve for assisting in maintaining the unidirectional movement of exhaust from inside to outside the building; and an outlet for allowing the release of the exhaust from the vent; wherein the inlet meets the vent at a forward angle such that the exhaust flows towards the outlet and acts to reduce friction of the exhaust against the vent.

Abstract: A connector installation tool can include an inner surface having a first portion having a first perimeter, where the inner surface forms a cavity that traverses a first length of the inner surface. The connector installation tool can also include an opening having a width and traversing a second length of the outer surface and the first length of the inner surface. The connector installation tool can further include a front face located adjacent to and substantially perpendicular to the first portion of the inner surface. The connector installation tool can also include a rear face located adjacent to a distal end of the inner surface, where the rear face is substantially parallel to the front face.

Abstract: A velocity sensor, a controller, a plunger lift system and method for controlling a plunger lift system is provided. The velocity sensor can use a first magnetic field sensor and a second magnetic field sensor spaced a sensor distance to determine a velocity of a plunger as it passes the velocity sensor. The controller can use information received from the velocity sensor to both control the operation of the plunger lift system using the measured plunger velocity obtained from the velocity sensor and shut down the well if the plunger is measured travelling too fast.

Abstract: Briefly, embodiments disclosed herein may relate to generating signals and/or states representative of a template for a web page. One or more areas of a template may be associated with a respective one or more entities of a web page publisher, and content for the one or more areas associated with the one or more entities may be selected.
