Patent number: 9536522Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for training a natural language processing model with information retrieval model annotations. A natural language processing model may be trained, through machine learning, using training examples that include part-of-speech tagging and annotations added by an information retrieval model. The natural language processing model may generate part-of-speech, parse-tree, beginning, inside, and outside label, mention chunking, and named-entity recognition predictions with confidence scores for text in the training examples. The information retrieval model annotations and part-of-speech tagging in the training example may be used to determine the accuracy of the predictions, and the natural language processing model may be adjusted. After training, the natural language processing model may be used to make predictions for novel input, such as search queries and potential search results.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Keith Hall, Dipanjan Das, Terry Yang-Hoe Koo, Fernando Pereira

Publication number: 20160325822Abstract: The present disclosure generally refers to an aircraft horizontal tail plane (HTP) having a multi-rib torsion box formed by first and second lateral torsion boxes symmetrically arranged with respect to a plane of symmetry of the horizontal tail plane. A group of ribs are substantially parallel to the plane of symmetry of the horizontal tail plane, and the stringers are arranged as to define an angle within the range 80°-100° with respect to the plane of symmetry of the horizontal tail plane. Due to this relative arrangement of the ribs and stringers, the stringers are not continuous through ribs, thus the ribs can be manufactured without mouse holes. The HTP of the invention can be manufactured easier and faster than traditional HTP designs.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Fernando Pereira Mosqueira, Andrea-Ivan Marasco

Patent number: 9405849Abstract: A method identifies pairs of first and second command inputs from respective user device sessions for which the first and second operation data are indicative of a first operation failure and a second operation success. The first operation data indicate a first operation performed on data from a first resource property in response to the first command input, and the second operation data indicate a second operation performed on data from a second resource property in response to the second command input. They system determines, from the identified pairs of first and second command inputs, command inputs for which a parsing rule that is associated with the second operation is to be generated.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jakob D.

Patent number: 9381992Abstract: An optimized leading edge for an aircraft lifting or supporting surfaces, such as wings and stabilizers, wherein the leading edge includes inboard and outboard leading edge sections that are span-wise arranged so as to form together an aerodynamic surface of the leading edge. Each of the leading edge sections includes a skin panel and a support structure formed by spars that are internally arranged in the skin panel. These two support structures are designed taking into account the different load requirements of those two different sections, so that the number of spars in each leading edge section is progressively reduced from root to tip of the leading edge, in such a way that the support structure of the outboard leading edge section, has less spars than the inboard leading edge section. Hence the weight of the leading edge is reduced while still maintaining the required structural behavior.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS S.L.Inventors: Fernando Pereira Mosqueira, Enrique Guinaldo Fernandez, Carlos Garcia Nieto, Francisco Javier Honorato Ruiz, Andrea Ivan Marasco

Patent number: 9224103Abstract: Implementations include systems and methods generate data for training or evaluating semantic analysis engines. For example, a method may include receiving documents from a corpus that includes an authoritative set of documents from an authoritative source. Each document in the authoritative set may be associated with an entity. A second set of documents from the corpus that do not overlap with the first set may include at least one link to a document in the authoritative set, the at least one link being associated with anchor text. For each document in the second set, the method may include identifying entity mentions in the document based on the anchor text. The method may include associating the entity mention with the entity in a graph-structured knowledge base or associating entity types with the entity mention. The method may also include training a semantic analysis engine using the identified entity mentions and associations.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Amarnag Subramanya, Fernando Pereira

Publication number: 20150197328Abstract: An optimized structure of a control surface for aircrafts, such as elevators, rudders, landing flaps, ailerons, and other similar lifting surfaces. The control surface includes a front spar, a rear spar, a plurality of ribs and at least one hinge fitting, as well as and an actuator fitting joined with the front spar. At least one rib is connected with the actuator fitting and it is arranged so as to define an oblique angle with the front spar. One or more ribs are located in correspondence with the main torsion and bending load paths created in the control surface during flight, landing or takeoff, so the same structural behavior of the control surface is achieved, but, with a reduced number of ribs, so that the weight of the control surface is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2014Publication date: July 16, 2015Inventors: Fernando Pereira Mosqueira, Enrique Guinaldo Fernandez, Carlos Garcia Nieto, Francisco Javier Honorato Ruiz, Andrea Ivan Marasco, Francisco José Cruz Dominguez
