Title: Intelligent automated personal assistant for recipe selection
Inventor: TENDAYI SAMURIWO
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2019-02-14
Abstract: A scalable artificial intelligence (AI) framework-implemented system 104 capable of discerning user intent and identifying personalised recipe recommendations, comprising: an interactive AI framework 122 deployed on a client device 106 for maintaining a user context; a platform capable of extracting a plurality of lexical features from a user’s audio input and discerning user intent based on statistical inference, machine learning and a food knowledge graph; and a platform communicatively coupled to a system configured to extract user intent by leveraging learned associations and relevant external contextual information to identify candidate recipe recommendations. The system may interpret a text input or may convert audio signals from the user (e.g. spoken utterances) into text before interpreting the input. Machine learning components may continuously identify and learn from user intents so that user identity and understanding is enhanced over time. The embodiments enable dynamic audio and text-based searching and identification of a user specific recipe from a vast catalogue of recipes.

Title: Methods and systems for validating data in a distributed computing network
Inventor: ADRIAN WALLER
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2019-04-15
Abstract: A method for validating data in a distributed computing network, the network including a plurality of nodes such as a distributed ledger or blockchain. The method involves generating, by a node in the network, a ciphertext by encrypting a message using (i) a public key of a public/private key pair and (ii) data that is to be validated. The node that generated the ciphertext transmits a request to one or more other node(s) in the network to decrypt the ciphertext. The one or more other nodes being configured to decrypt the ciphertext using a token generated using (i) the private key of the public/private key pair and (ii) information against which the data is to be validated. Determining, based on the result of decrypting the ciphertext, whether the data is valid. Miners may then publicise the result allowing nodes in the network to see whether parameter values are consistent with a function without having any knowledge of the function or the parameter values, this may be achieved with predicate based encryption.

Title: Ink jet printer and method of monitoring an ink jet printer
Inventor: THOMAS MICHAEL WAKE
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2020-08-29
Abstract: The current at a deflection electrode 23, 25 of an electrostatic deflection continuous ink jet printer 127 is monitored. If the current level satisfies a predetermined criterion the printer outputs a warning that the printer is likely to automatically cease printing. The warning can be generated when the current reaches a level higher than normal for a clean print head but below the current required to trigger an automatic shutdown. The warning indicates that an automatic shutdown is likely to follow unless the print head is cleaned. This allows the operator to shut the printer down in a planned manner for cleaning. The warning may be provided at the printer 127 or it may be provided by an external system 121, 129 which allows personnel who are not at the printer to be alerted. The monitoring may be done by the printer or information about the deflection electrode current may be provided to an external system 121, 129 that performs the monitoring.
