Systems and processes for processing natural language input are described. An example process for processing natural language input includes receiving a natural language input and determining a domain corresponding to the natural language input. The example process further includes, in accordance with determining the domain corresponding to the natural language input, determining, based on the natural language input, a first value for a first property of the domain and determining, based on a named entity model and the natural language input, a second value for the first property of the domain, where the second value defines a parameter for a task corresponding to the natural language input. The example process further includes performing the task based on the parameter and providing a result based on the performed task.

Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example process receives natural language input and determines a first and a second parsing result for the natural language input. The first and the second parsing results include respective mappings of one or more properties of a domain corresponding to the natural language input to one or more words of the natural language input. The process determines whether the second parsing result corresponds to a data item in a knowledge base, and in accordance with determining that the second parsing result corresponds to the data item in the knowledge base, the process ranks the second parsing result higher than the first parsing result. Based on the ranking, the process generates a task flow using the second parsing result and executes the task flow to provide an output based on the data item.

The invention relates to nano-sized complexes formed by associating or attaching amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and/or amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate (ACFP) with an amphiphilic polymer surfactant (APS) and a bioadhesive polymer. The bioadhesive polymer may serve as a connector or an anchor to attach the nano ACP-APS or ACFP-APS to the tooth surface and to chemically bond the calcium in the enamel to the calcium ions in the nano ACP-APS or ACFP-APS complexes, thus allowing for more controlled release of remineralizing components into the oral cavity. Methods of use of the composition and kits are also disclosed.

A method for fabricating an integrated MEMS-CMOS device uses a micro-fabrication process that realizes moving mechanical structures (MEMS) on top of a conventional CMOS structure by bonding a mechanical structural wafer on top of the CMOS and etching the mechanical layer using plasma etching processes, such as Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE). During etching of the mechanical layer, CMOS devices that are directly connected to the mechanical layer are exposed to plasma. This sometimes causes permanent damage to CMOS circuits and is termed Plasma Induced Damage (PID). Embodiments of the present invention presents methods and structures to prevent or reduce this PID and protect the underlying CMOS circuits by grounding and providing an alternate path for the CMOS circuits until the MEMS layer is completely etched.

A dental syringe device that provides air and water to a dental patient. The device includes an adapter that connects a dental tip to a dental syringe body. The dental syringe body provides a conventional syringe body with a handle for a dentist to hold onto and a source of air and water. The tip delivers the air and water to the dental patient. The adapter is an improved adapter having a unique release and attachment component allowing for a quick connect and disconnect between the dental syringe body and the tip. The tip advantageously includes an inner portion with large and uniform air channels for smooth transfer of air and an outer portion made from a rigid plastic that provides an improved cheek retraction feature.

The invention relates to nano-sized complexes formed by associating amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and/or amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate (ACFP) with an amphiphilic polymer surfactant. The amphiphilic polymer surfactants can form nano-sized assemblies in aqueous solution, serving as a nano dispersant preventing ACP and/or ACFP from aggregation, and as a nano carrier associating or attaching ACP and/or ACFP, stabilizing ACP and/or ACFP against the conversion to a crystalline form as well, thus maintaining calcium and phosphate/and fluoride ions in a bioavailable state for dental re-mineralization and prevention of dental caries, dental calculus and dental hyper-sensitivity. A method for the nano-sized complex preparation and compositions comprising the nano-sized complexes are also provided.
