  • Publication number: 20230211515
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for applying machine learning to provide feedback related to a personal care device are described. Embodiments of the systems, devices, and methods may identify data from a device such as a razor comprising a plurality of sensors on a razor, predict one or more features such as shaving features based on the data using a machine learning model trained using data from the plurality of sensors, and provide shaving feedback based on the one or more features such as shaving features. Embodiments of the systems, devices, and methods may train a machine learning model, execute a trained machine learning model, capture and/or process data for the machine learning model, provide feedback based on the output of the trained machine learning model, or combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220398542
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a cue sheet for submission to a performing rights organization. The system comprising a processor for executing the steps of: receiving an electronic file associated with a broadcast production comprising a list of cues used in the broadcast production and associated use data; extracting irrelevant data from the electronic file by determining and deleting irrelevant cues, determining and deleting unnecessary and unrelated use data from each cue, and determining and deleting duplicative cues, so that relevant cues and associated use data remain after extracting; searching a music catalog database to retrieve identification data for each relevant cue; storing each relevant cue with its associated use data and identification data in a memory; and generating a cue sheet comprising relevant cues with associated use data and identification data for each relevant cue.

  • Publication number: 20160158395
    Abstract: A sterilization method and apparatus for cleaning multiple devices of different sizes on all surfaces at one time. This apparatus allows for the cleaning of electronic devices which are corded and cordless/wireless without allowing ozone which is generated from the UV lights to escape from the product or allowing humans eyes to be effected by direct exposure to the UV light generated by the apparatus. This apparatus enables devices to be charged while they are being sterilized.

  • Patent number: 6147206
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a high yield process for producing high quality corn fiber gum by hydrogen peroxide treatment of corn fiber during alkaline extraction and/or after obtaining the alkaline extract of milled corn fiber. This process comprises the steps:a) mixing corn fiber with an alkaline solution to form a slurry and extract hemicellulose;b) treating the slurry with hydrogen peroxide at a pH of about 10.0 to 12.5; andc) separating out the insoluble fractions from the corn fiber slurry to yield corn fiber gum.The corn fiber gum produced by this process is highly soluble in water and provides low viscosity solutions which are nearly devoid of color over a wide pH range. The corn fiber gum lacks objectionable flavor and aroma. The corn fiber gum is useful for a variety of applications, including film formation and to thicken, emulsify, stabilize and/or extend aqueous solutions and suspensions.
