For each of the pending tasks, one or more of the identified people are also identified as potentially being people for whom the pending task is to be completed, and the pending task is also associated with these identified one or more of the identified people.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating an enterprise user to obtain an answer to a user question within an enterprise based on an enterprise knowledge graph are provided. In particular, an enterprise server may receive the user question from the enterprise user, determine a suggested topic associated with the user question based on the enterprise knowledge graph by transforming the user question into a semantic representation to identify a plurality of similar entities within the enterprise knowledge graph, and determine whether a relevant question-and-answer (Q&A) pair linked to the suggested topic exists based on the enterprise knowledge graph. In response to a determination that the relevant Q&A pair does not exist, the enterprise server may determine a predicted answer to the user question and update the enterprise knowledge graph.

Abstract: A pool or spa system includes networked pool or spa devices that can be dynamically configured with network address by a controller. The controller can transmit a device discovery request on a network and can receive a discovery response from pool or spa devices that require a network address. The system determines and assigns the network addresses for the pool or spa devices based on unique device identifiers associated with the responding pool or spa devices. The network addresses assigned to the pool or spa device are transmitted to the pool or spa device to be used by the pool or spa devices to communicate with the controller over the network. The system can be used to discover and assign addresses to various types of pool or spa devices, such as pumps, underwater lights, chlorinators, water feature controllers, remote controllers, and/or other types of devices.

Abstract: Compounds may be administered to prevent or rescue organ injury following exposure to alkylating agents, such as sulfur mustards. The compounds may be substituted metalloporphyrins.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for generating smart notifications for comments associated with collaborative content. A machine learning model is disclosed which is operable to receive a comment and contextual information related to the comment. Based upon the received input, the machine learning model is able to determine a classification for an intent associated with the comment. Based upon the determined intent, a comment is identified as requiring action by one or more of the collaborative users. Aspects of the present disclosure generate a smart notification that can be presented as part of a collaborative user interface to highlight comments that require action.

Abstract: An assembly is configured for connection to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and comprises a plurality of emulator devices each configured for attachment to the UAV and a plurality of first connection tethers each configured to operably couple a respective one of the plurality of emulator devices to the UAV at a respective spacing from the UAV. The emulator devices each comprise an emulation component configured to provide, to a target detection system, a characteristic associated with a respective type of airborne object. The plurality of respective first connection tethers each comprises material that does not substantially reflect RF energy. During flight of the UAV, when the assembly is connected, each respective emulator device maintains the respective spacing from the UAV and emulates the characteristic to the target detection system, such that the assembly emulates, to the target detection system, a plurality of airborne objects.

Abstract: An apparatus for a vehicle body including a rocker insert is provided. The apparatus includes a vehicle body including a plurality of metallic structure members and a lower portion operable to provide support to a floor surface within a passenger compartment of a vehicle and a rocker insert mounted to an in-vehicle side portion of the lower portion. The rocker insert includes an elongated bar portion including a hollow center portion including internal reinforcing web features. The rocker insert is oriented with respect to the vehicle body such that a longitudinal axis of the elongated bar portion of the rocker insert is parallel to an in-vehicle forward direction of the vehicle body.

Abstract: Electric vehicle battery enclosures and methods of assembling electric vehicle battery enclosures involve a base portion to hold one or more batteries that provide motive power to an all-electric or hybrid electric vehicle. An electric vehicle battery enclosure includes a cover portion to mate with the base portion to enclose the one or more batteries, and a sealant to create a bond between the base portion and the cover portion around an entire perimeter of the enclosure and to seal the enclosure based on a uniform height of the sealant around the perimeter of the enclosure.

Abstract: An intelligent agent may assume a ghost presence in a meeting on behalf of a non-participant, monitor data communications between participants of the meeting, and identify appropriate triggers or events relating to the non-participant. For example, the agent may detect questions directed at the non-participant or that the non-participant has the knowledge to answer. The non-participant may be auto-summoned with respect to the meeting when the events relating to the non-participant are identified. The auto-summoning may be performed by communicating information about identified event to the non-participant, for example in real-time. The communication about the identified event may be transmitted over any of a variety of communication channels or modalities, including instant message chat, SMS, phone call, establishing a video call, or pager.
