Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores first and second machine learning algorithms. The processor receives, from a user, voice signals associated with an information request and converts them into text. The processor uses the first machine learning algorithm to determine, based on the text, to automatically generate a reply to the request, rather than transmitting the request to an agent. The processor uses the second machine learning algorithm to generate, based on the set of text, the reply, which it transmits to the user. The processor receives feedback associated with the reply, indicating that the reply does or does not include the requested information. The processor uses the feedback to update either or both machine learning algorithms.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for bypass flow filtering. A bypass valve filter includes at least one wall configured to engage a surface of a bypass valve and a filter surface having a plurality of openings between an inside of the at least one wall and an outside of the at least one wall. One or more openings of the plurality of openings have a first size and one or more other openings of the plurality of openings have a second size, wherein the first size is different than the second size to define different levels of filtering. The bypass valve further includes an open end configured to allow fluid flow therethrough and to the plurality of openings.

Abstract: A process of removal and recovery of metal-cyanide complex from effluents is disclosed. The process includes isolating a species of Scenedesmus via enrichment culture technique in alkaline medium. The process further includes releasing the species of Scenedesmus, after being isolated, in the effluents at predetermined conditions including a predefined pH and a predefined temperature. The species of Scenedesmus released in the effluents at the predetermined conditions: degrades cyanide moiety of a metal-cyanide present in the effluents and releases the metal ions; utilizes the carbon and nitrogen from the cyanide or metal cyanide complex present in the effluents; accumulates a first fraction of metal ions from the solution; and bio-sorbs the second fraction of the metal ions onto the cells of the microalgae thereby resulting in the removal of both the cyanide and the metal from the effluents. The metal-cyanide complexes comprise at least one of a copper-cyanide and a zinc-cyanide.

Abstract: A method of removal and recovery of hexavalent chromium from effluents by passive-active biological process is described. The method may include adsorption of the hexavalent chromium by passive biological process of removal of hexavalent chromium from effluents by adsorbing the hexavalent chromium using a treated and conditioned Limonia acidissima biomass particles. The method may further include conducting bioreduction of the leftover chromium present in the effluent in low concentration by using active bacterial culture for complete removal of hexavalent chromium. The treated and conditioned Limonia acidissima biomass particles having the adsorbed hexavalent chromium may be burnt in a furnace at 400° C. to obtain an ash containing hexavalent chromium. The ash obtained may be mixed with water and filtered to obtain a hexavalent chromium solution which could be recycled and reused.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of preparing a fluorinated copolymer, comprising a step of copolymerization of a fluorinated monomer (of the vinylidene fluoride type) with an ?-trifluoromethacrylic acid monomer or derivative of ?-trifluoromethacrylic acid, in the presence of a xanthate or trithiocarbonate compound. The invention also relates to copolymers obtained by this method as well as block copolymers comprising a copolymer block prepared according to this method.
