Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for suggesting and inserting automated assistants in a graphical user interface for managing communication sessions. A system for suggesting an automated assistant generates a first vector describing a current context of a current communication session, and generates a comparison of the first vector and a second vector associated with a past context of an automated assistant in a past communication session. Then, if the comparison exceeds a similarity threshold, the system suggests the automated assistant to at least one user in the current communication session. Optionally, the system can predictively insert the automated assistant in a communication session if the comparison exceeds a similarity threshold. The graphical user interface for managing communication sessions displays automated assistants in a same manner as human participants.

Abstract: Systems and methods can support a computational signal processing architecture for electromagnetic signature analysis and threat detection. A plurality of sensor antennas can couple a radio frequency signal into a radio receiver. The radio receiver can generate digital samples of the signal. A raw signal analysis engine can identify signal features within the digital samples, generate signal feature vectors from the identified signal features, decode signal content from the signal feature vectors, and transmit the signal feature vectors into a signal feature network. The signal feature vectors may be aggregated from the signal feature network into a signal aggregation and analysis engine. The signal aggregation and analysis engine can refine feature vectors through processing such as identifying wireless attacks according to the signal features within the signal feature vectors. One or more operator interfaces and one or more analysis databases may support these operations.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for displaying a user interface for managing communication sessions on a communication device. A system configured to practice the method displays, on a first side portion of the user interface, a first set of user-configurable communication information. The system displays, a second side portion of the user interface, a second set of user-configurable communication information. The system displays, on a center portion of the user interface, a communication work space for managing communication sessions. In one embodiment including a touch sensitive display, this interface is used with a tablet device such that a natural position of user's thumbs are in an optimal position to interact efficiently with the user interface. The side portions can be user-configurable to display, for example, contacts, calendar events, tasks, memos, and so forth.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for generating persistent sessions in a graphical user interface for managing communication sessions. A system configured to practice the method tracks interactions of a user with an automated assistant in a communication session displayed in a graphical user interface for managing communication sessions, wherein the graphical user interface displays automated assistants in a same manner as human participants. The system identifies work product produced by the interactions, associates the work product with the user, and saves the work product in a persistent communication session. The system can load work product by identifying a user in the current communication session and a current context. The system retrieves and restores the stored work product in the current communication session. The stored work product can include at least one setting associated with an automated assistant.

Abstract: A hermetic pressure connector which provides a pressure-tight, electrically conductive connection through a hole in a bulkhead. The connector includes a transverse support member having a high pressure side and an opposite low pressure side. A passage extends through the transverse support member between the opposite sides. A conductor pin having an axial portion extends through the passage. An insulating sleeve surrounds at least the axial portion of the conductor pin, thereby electrically insulating the transverse support member from the conductor pin. A molded connected body surrounds at least a central portion of the conductor pin at least at one of the high and low pressure sides to thereby mechanically support the conductor pin in the passage. The molded connector body is directly sealingly engaged with the conductor pin, the insulating sleeve and the transverse support member.

Abstract: Several aspects of an in-line welding gun are disclosed. In one aspect, the welding gun has a variable profile insulating boot disposed over the torch barrel of the gun. The variable profile insulating boot may include a molded material having varying thickness to provide the desired insulating properties. In another aspect of the welding gun, a speed control mechanism for the motor driving the wire feed assembly is positioned in a recess in the housing such that it reduces the risk of being unintentionally adjusted during operation of the welding gun. In another aspect of the welding gun, the wire feed mechanism features a feeder roller and an idler roller that may be separated without opening the housing of the welding gun. To separate the rollers, the user may depress a portion on the exterior of the housing to press on a pivotable lever on which the idler roller is disposed.

Abstract: A welding gun includes a motor, a wire feed mechanism, a power block, a welding tip, a and a cup. A substantially rigid shell surrounds the motor to form a handle. The gun includes a spindle, a spool and a quick disconnect mechanism for coupling the spool to the spindle.
