Abstract: A conversation augmentation system can automatically augment a conversation with content items based on natural language from the conversation. The conversation augmentation system can select content items to add to the conversation based on determined user “intents” generated using machine learning models. The conversation augmentation system can generate intents for natural language from various sources, such as video chats, audio conversations, textual conversations, virtual reality environments, etc. The conversation augmentation system can identify constraints for mapping the intents to content items or context signals for selecting appropriate content items. In various implementations, the conversation augmentation system can add selected content items to a storyline the conversation describes or can augment a platform in which an unstructured conversation is occurring.

Abstract: A system and method for a centralized data asset marketplace including a single network or cloud platform environment for the sharing and distribution of data assets, a user interface layer providing a user access to the environment, data assets, an access control and audit component which stores user's requests and a single sign on component allowing the user to access the user interface layer, wherein the user interface layer includes a meta data management component, a service discovery component, a service request processing component, and a delivery service.

Abstract: A system and method for a centralized data asset marketplace including a single network or cloud platform environment for the sharing and distribution of data assets, wherein the platform is public or private; multiple user interfaces, wherein the user interfaces include a home page, a data asset detail interface, a shopping cart interface, a user data section interface and an administrative section interface; and data assets, wherein the data assets are at least one of a report, a file download, a data service, a micro service or an applet.

Abstract: A drive unit includes an electric motor, a worm shaft coupled to the motor, a worm gear engaging with the worm shaft, and an output shaft connected to the worm gear. The motor has a motor shaft on which the worm shaft is fixed. The worm shaft is made of plastic. The drive unit further includes a metallic sleeve press fitted to the motor shaft. An outer profile of the sleeve is non-circular. A correspondingly shaped receiving hole is formed in the worm shaft to receive the sleeve. The sleeve rotates with the motor shaft and drives the worm shaft.

Abstract: A floor panel may include a bottom layer and an upper layer overlying the bottom layer. The bottom layer may have first and second edges, and the bottom layer may include at least one male protrusion on the first edge, and have at least one female protrusion receptacle on the second edge corresponding to a shape of the at least one male protrusion. The bottom layer may further include at least one male lip on the second edge, and have at least one female lip receptacle on the first edge corresponding to a shape of the at least one male lip. The upper panel may vertically overly the at least one female lip receptacle and the at least one female protrusion receptacle.

Abstract: A new interlocking or interconnection mechanism for securing floor covering panels is invented, whereas the covering panels can be any sizes, shapes, structures, and of any materials. The mechanism is consisted of independent features rendering the vertical and the lateral couplings, where vertical is defined as the direction perpendicular to the surface of the panel that is exposed and lateral is defined as the direction parallel to the exposed surface. The new mechanism provides a gradual progressive tightening effect during the installation process for securing the panels, which is completely different from the outcome by all the existing mechanisms including tongue-and-groove, snap-on, etc.

Abstract: An electric generator for a bicycle comprising, a rotor assembly comprising a plurality of magnets disposed at regular spacings around the circumference of the rotor assembly in alternating polarity, a stator core, comprising steel plates being stacked to form the stator core, each steel plate having a U-shaped grooved cross-section with two oppositely extending magnetically engaging members, a power-generating coil is wound around the U-shaped groove of the steel plates of the stator core, and the magnetically engaging members are positioned to magnetically engage the magnets of the rotor assembly.
