Abstract: An online system obtains a target food from an order for a user and alcohol preferences from an order purchase history. The online system generates a prompt for a machine learning model to request alcohol candidates based on the target food category. The prompt includes the alcohol preferences, and requests for each alcohol candidate, a pairing score indicating how well the target food category pairs with the alcohol candidate and a user preference score indicating how well the alcohol candidate aligns with the alcohol preferences. The online system receives as output the candidate alcohol items. Each alcohol candidate has the pairing score, the user preference score, and a textual reason for scores. The online system matches at least one alcohol item from a catalog with each alcohol candidate. A subset of alcohol items is presented to the user as a carousel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing glufosinate, and specifically a method of preparing glufosinate represented by formula (I) or its salt or enantiomer, or a mixture of its enantiomers in any ratio, comprising a step of hydrolyzing a compound of formula (III) to generate a compound of formula (I). Due to a distinctive reaction mechanism adopted in the method of the present disclosure, a halogenated hydrocarbon by-product in the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction can be avoided and thus the destructive impact of the halogenated hydrocarbon by-product on ozone in the aerosphere can be prevented. Accordingly, the equipment and engineering investments required for the separation, purification, and collection of the foregoing by-product are eliminated, and the potential environmental and safety hazards brought by the foregoing by-product are also avoided.

Abstract: An exemplary supporting audio element for a furniture item may include a control circuit positioned within a body portion, a supporting leg, and a loudspeaker. The supporting audio element may be mounted to a furniture item, for supporting the furniture item, and configured for one or more of, without limitation, communicating with an external audio device, playing audio, controlling a function of the furniture item, voice recognition, and voice control. An exemplary supporting audio element may include a microphone connected to a phonetic recognition module, for receiving and recognizing voice commands and relaying the voice commands to the control circuit for controlling a function of the supporting audio leg and the furniture item. A furniture item may include an exemplary supporting audio element for incorporating the features thereof.

Abstract: A furniture accessory includes an armrest body and an insertion plate moveably coupled to the armrest body and configured for mounting to a furniture item. The furniture accessory may include a power output assembly for receiving and providing power to a detachable electrical accessory. The furniture accessory may include a power input interface and a power supply circuit for providing power from an external power source to the power output interface.

Abstract: A support base includes a connector hub having a top end, a bottom end spaced apart from the top end, and a chamber wall extending between the top and bottom ends. The chamber wall defines a chamber within the connector hub. An interface may be positioned in the chamber. The interface is dimensioned such that a support gap is formed between the interface and the chamber wall. The support gap may be dimensioned for receiving a wall of a support structure having a hollow interior into which the interface is received.

Abstract: A furniture accessory may include an outer body configured to connect to a furniture item, and a receptacle slidably supported in the outer body. The receptacle may be configured to receive a beverage container therein. The top end of the inner receptacle is axially spaced from and above the top end of the outer body when the inner receptacle is in each of a retracted and extended position.
