Patent number: 11928109Abstract: Routines are used to connect bot queries entered via a bot interface and database queries executed on a database. Each routine is associated with routine configurations, including (a) query attributes associated with bot queries that trigger the routine, (2) a database query executed or to be executed for the routine, and/or (3) display settings for displaying information returned from the database query in a bot response. Each routine is configured to generate an output structured data object (SDO) indicating information returned from the database query and the display settings applicable to the information. The output SDOs from the various routines are transmitted to the bot application via a single API endpoint. The routine configurations are entered by a design user through one or more design user interfaces rendered by an integrative configuration application module.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Tarun Kumar, Pravas Sudhakar Naik Bhagat, Manuel Humberto Noriega Soto, Krishna Kumar Viswanathan Nair, Vishwanagendran Venkatasubramanian, Sankaranarayanan Nurani Raman, Lourdes Hernández Fernández Del Castillo, Gustavo Takano

Publication number: 20230330724Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for processing ash. For example, in certain embodiments, the method comprises dissolving at least a portion of ash in acid. In some embodiments, the acid is produced in a reactor.
