  • Patent number: 11281962
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, content items may be obtained, where each of the content items may include multiple data types. Machine learning models may be caused to be trained based on the content items to map data in a vector space by providing at least a first portion of each of the content items as input to at least one of the machine learning models and providing at least a second portion of each of the content items as input to at least another one of the machine learning models. A search request for results may be obtained, where the search request includes search parameters. One or more locations within the vector space may be predicted (e.g., by one or more of the machine learning models) based on the search parameters. Information (indicating content items mapped to or proximate the predicted locations) may be provided as a request response.

  • Patent number: 11251832
    Abstract: Nyquist folding receivers (NYFRs) are disclosed that use three or more non-modulated sampling clock signals with different frequencies to produce multiple projections in a sampled output. Using these three or more different sampling clock signals, multiple Nyquist zones are aliased together while still allowing signals from different Nyquist zones to be separated and identified in later processing based upon the sampling provided by the different sampling clock signals. NYFR sampling receivers are also disclosed that simultaneously produce multiple separate and different parallel channels from an input signal, with each different channel having a different sampling clock sampling rate from the other channels so as to generate a respective folding pattern that is different from the folding pattern generated by the respective RF sampling rate of each of the other simultaneous and parallel channels.

  • Publication number: 20200110046
    Abstract: A method of using the transverse relaxation rate (R2) of solvent NMR signal to noninvasively assess alum-containing products such as vaccines.

  • Patent number: 9775286
    Abstract: A disk for vertically cutting grass surfaces, the disk includes a center plate mountable to a shaft and a plurality of teeth extending from a circumferential edge of the center plate. Each tooth comprises a base extending from the circumferential edge of the center plate and at least one blade extending from the base at an offset angle. Each blade includes a neck extending from the base at the offset angle, and a tip extending radially outward from the neck relative to a center plane of the center plate such that the tip is offset from the center plane. The tip also extends from the neck at a yaw angle relative to the center plane such that when the disk is rotated about a rotational axis of the shaft a leading edge of the tip rotates in a different rotational plane than a trailing edge of the tip.
