  • Patent number: 11853949
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed including a computer and a processor and memory. The computer receives option constraint limiting values of a second option parameter based on a value for a first option parameter, wherein the first option parameter and the second option parameter comprise mix rates for options for a configuration. The computer further generates an interactive element for setting values of the first option parameter and an interactive element for setting the value for the second option parameter and displays the one or more interactive elements. The computer still further, in response to a value being set for the first option parameter, calculates limits for the values of the second option parameters and prevents the interactive element for setting the value for the second option parameter to be set to values outside of the calculated limits.

  • Patent number: 11854026
    Abstract: A method and system are described for generating a quantified perception profile of a predetermined stimulus. The method may be used in colorimetry or flavor quantization. Flavor descriptors are selected from database for the particular product and presented pairwise in all possible pair combinations to each of a plurality of tasters via user-devices. For each flavor descriptor pair, users select one of the descriptors which is perceived to be more intense than the other. The results of the selections are captured at host and mapped by normalizing means as intensity values into a flavor descriptor space in database to create a quantized flavor profile. Normalizing means performs a weighting on each descriptor selection result. Filtering means detects anomalous or inconsistent selection responses and issues adaptive control instructions.

  • Patent number: 11810034
    Abstract: Conventional resource management systems often merely assign resource data to accounts determined on a yearly basis, which does not provide an efficient means of planning for changes at a more granular level, or for making adjustments if an allocation needs to be modified during a budget period. An embodiment of the invention provides a method for managing modifications to an allocation. Modifications to an allocation may be represented as deltas, and the deltas may be evaluated against a set of rules to determine a precedence for selectively applying the deltas. The deltas may be selectively applied to the allocation according to the precedence to generate an allocation instance, and the allocation instance may be adapted into a location of a user interface.

  • Patent number: 11810010
    Abstract: Techniques for automatically manufacturing mechanical parts are described. A first estimate of manufacturing cost for a first mechanical part is generated using a first machine learning model. In response to determining that the first estimate of manufacturing cost for the first mechanical part falls within a range of effectivity for the first machine learning model, a second estimate of manufacturing cost for the first mechanical part is generated using a second machine learning model. An expected cost error in the second estimate of manufacturing cost for the first mechanical part is determined, and upon determining that the expected cost error falls within a pre-determined acceptable range, automatic manufacturing of the first mechanical part is facilitated.
