  • Publication number: 20230300091
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for managing content generated by bots for presentation to a user in association with a chat application. The system receives content items generated by bots monitoring a chat application for display to a user at a user interface (UI). The system provides input based on the received one or more content items and associated contextual information to a trained machine learning (ML) model, and receives, from the trained ML model, for each of the content items, at least one score value based on at least one predicted user response associated with potentially displaying the content item to the user at the UI. The system selects a subset of content items from the received content items based on the received score values and causes a display of this selected subset of content items in addition to a display of content generated by the chat application.

  • Publication number: 20230273373
    Abstract: An interface device for performing off-chip coupling in optical waveguides includes an optical waveguide core for propagating light of a particular wavelength or a plurality of wavelengths and an array of radiative elements configured to change the propagation direction of the light. The optical waveguide core is configured to control the effective refractive index of the propagation mode of the light. The device can thus serve as an optical antenna for coupling between a waveguide mode and a free-space propagating beam or a plurality of free-space propagating beams in an arrayed configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230258865
    Abstract: An antenna device for performing off-chip light coupling comprising an array of radiating elements whose thickness is larger than ?/2, the radiating elements being chosen such that the length of the array is smaller than 10?, where ? is the wavelength of light in the material chosen for the radiating elements. An advantage of this method is that, unlike in conventional waveguide grating antenna, by reducing the number of the radiating elements in the array, the dependence of the off-chip emission angle on the wavelength of light can be greatly reduced. Another advantage is that by using thick radiating elements the antenna efficiency can be greatly enhanced, thereby compensating for the reduced efficiency occurring as a consequence of using only a small number of radiating elements in the array.

  • Patent number: 11647700
    Abstract: One variation of a method for monitoring growth of plants within a facility includes: aggregating global ambient data recorded by a suite of fixed sensors, arranged proximal a grow area within the facility, at a first frequency during a grow period; extracting interim outcomes of a set of plants, occupying a module in the grow area, from module-level images recorded by a mover at a second frequency less than the first frequency while interfacing with the module during the period of time; dispatching the mover to autonomously deliver the module to a transfer station; extracting interim outcomes of the set of plants from plant-level images recorded by the transfer station while sequentially transferring plants out of the module at the conclusion of the grow period; and deriving relationships between ambient conditions, interim outcomes, and final outcomes from a corpus of plant records associated with plants grown in the facility.
