Abstract: A method includes receiving a first query issued by a user and processing the first query to classify the first query as being related to a particular existing topic that corresponds to a respective one of a plurality of topic summaries stored in a topic summary datastore. Each respective topic summary of the plurality of topic summaries stored in the topic summary datastore corresponds to a different respective topic and is associated with a respective summary of past query-response interactions between a user and an assistant interface that are related to the different respective topic. The method also includes retrieving the respective topic summary from the topic summary datastore that corresponds to the particular existing topic, processing the first query conditioned on the respective topic summary retrieved from the topic summary datastore to generate a first response, and providing presentation content based on the first response for output.

Abstract: An article of footwear comprising an upper defining a forefoot region, a midfoot region, and a heel region of the article of footwear, and a sole structure coupled with the upper. The sole structure includes a midsole and an outsole coupled with a bottom surface of the midsole. A void structure is provided within the sole structure, which includes a plurality of voids defining channels that extend through an entire width of the sole structure. The void structure includes a plurality of first voids in the shape of a vertical lemniscate and a plurality of second voids in the shape of a horizontal lemniscate.

Abstract: An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole structure. The sole structure has a longitudinal extension in a longitudinal direction and a vertical extension in a vertical direction and defines a plurality of recesses that extend into the sole structure at least in a transverse direction. The plurality of recesses includes a first row of recesses arranged toward the upper and a second row of recesses arranged vertically below the first row of recesses. Each recess of the plurality of recesses has, without external forces on the sole structure, a peripheral contour forming a shape of a lemniscate when viewed in the transverse direction and are larger in a first direction that in a second direction. The sole structure is configured such that, when an external force is applied to the sole structure, the plurality of recesses collapse in a predetermined manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method of using the device for collecting, transporting, and storing spent cartridge casings wherein the device is composed of a generally square mat, with a handle or hand accommodating device configured as a pocket affixed at each of three corners and a collection and storage bag affixed to the fourth corner.

Abstract: An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole structure. The sole structure has a longitudinal extension in a longitudinal direction and a vertical extension in a vertical direction. The sole structure defines a plurality of recesses arranged at least in a rearfoot region thereof and extend at least partially into the sole structure in a transverse direction and along a straight line that extends in the longitudinal direction. Without external forces on the sole structure, each recess of the plurality of recesses is larger in a first direction than in a second direction. The sole structure is configured to provide predetermined dampening and spring deflection characteristics such that, when an external force is applied to the sole structure, the plurality of recesses collapse in a predetermined manner and, when the external force is removed, the plurality of recesses expand back to their original shape.
