Filed:

Aug 15, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/642360

Inventors:

Adam Wolff - San Francisco CA, US

Henry Minsky - Newtonville MA, US

International Classification:

G06F009/44

US Classification:

717114000

Abstract:

Code for a program is received by a compiler (or other entity). The code includes an expression for a variable and a marker that specifies when the expressions should be evaluated during execution of the program. Example markers can indicate that an expression should be evaluated immediately, once or always. Additional functionality is provided to the code in order to evaluate the expression at the specified time during execution of the program. If the expression is to be evaluated always, then the expression will likely be dependent on a item that can change. Functionality is provided that evaluates the expression when the item changes so that the variable can be updated.

Abstract:

A lighting fixture includes a main arm and a cantilever that is attached to main arm. The cantilever has mounted at one end a lamp and at the other end a weight.

International Classification:

G06F 40/35
G06F 40/279
G06N 3/04

Abstract:

A natural language understanding (NLU) system utilizes a knowledge network having interconnected actor perceiver predictor (APP) nodes associated with context, action, and result. For a received utterance, an utterance type is determined, and an input message is generated based on the utterance type. The input message includes word-concept groupings, which include words of the received utterance and concept tags associated with the words. An action type is determined based on the utterance type. The knowledge network is searched to locate a subset of the APP nodes that exceed a threshold connection weight and thereby discriminate the word-concept groupings from other word-concept groupings represented by nodes of the network. Metadata for the word-concept groupings is retrieved from the subset of the APP nodes, and a response to the received utterance is generated by incorporating the metadata into a response template.

International Classification:

H05B 37/02
H04L 12/28
H05B 33/08

Abstract:

Systems and methods of the disclosed subject matter provide a first light source, a second light source, and a controller communicatively coupled to the first light source and the second light source, the controller to control a first operation of the first light source according to an input received by the controller for at first period of time, and to control a second operation of the second light source when the input received by the controller is for a second period of time that is greater than the first period of time.
