Abstract: Management of Workcell Systems using an Automation Management System comprises associating a Sample Protocol to each Sample, associating a Resource Driver controlled by a Process Controller and communicating with other Resource Drivers to each Resource and executing the Sample Protocols by the Process Controller. Management of Workcell Systems using an Automation Management System (AMS) to control Resources (R1-Rn) designated to handle Samples (S1) along the Workcell Systems to perform operations on the Samples comprises: (a) associating a Sample Protocol (SP1) to each Sample; (b) associating a Resource Driver (D1-Dn) to each Resource; and (c) executing Sample Protocols by a Process Controller (PC). Each Resource Driver is controlled by the Process Controller. It communicates with other Resource Drivers through variables associated to each Resource. The variables define and modify the status of the Resources. An independent claim is included for an Automation Management System comprising mechanism to transfer elements between equipment where each element has a protocol and an execution status associated to it.

Abstract: An improved battery for children's ride-on vehicles. The battery includes a sealed housing that contains an internal circuit breaker that disconnects the flow of energy from the battery to the vehicle's one or more motors upon actuation. Upon removal of the actuating event, the circuit breaker automatically resets to reestablish the electrical circuit connecting the battery and the vehicle's one or more motors. The battery may alternatively include a manual reset that is accessible external the housing. Additionally, the battery may also include an internal one-shot fuse to protect against catastrophic failure of the battery.

Abstract: A vending machine module (12) is pre-programmed with a unique serial number. It is also programmed to dial up and connect to a specific registration database when first installed and powered up in the vending machine (1) which is one example of a remote embedded application. When the vending machine module (12) dials up the registration database for the first time, the registration database identifies the specific module (12) by means of its unique serial number, and then programs the module (12) with all of its relevant customised configuration-such as, for example, Telnet and PTP passwords, PTP Public Encryption Keys, telephone numbers for local ISP access (local telephone rates), customer name, customised web pages, new user configuration, subsequent database IP addresses, etc. Having been programmed with all of this data, the vending machine (12) is then ready to dial up an ISP server (2) over the Internet, for file transfer sessions. Thus, the vending machine module (12) requires only minimal programming. Many similar almost exactly the same information, each differing only in its own, unique serial number.

Abstract: An interaction simulator, such as a chatterbot, is connected with an external database, such as an electronic program guide. The information gathered during interaction, particularly conversational, is parsed and used to augment the database data. The interaction simulator may be guided by the data residing in the database so as to help fill in recognizable gaps by, for example, intermittently asking questions relating to the subject data requirement. The interaction simulator may be provided with specific response templates based on the needs of the database and a corresponding set of templates to extract the information required by the database. Another example database may be for recording and indexing by key word stories or other free-form verbal data uttered by the user. The interaction simulator may be programmed to help the user develop the story using templates designed for this purpose.
