Publication number: 20230306264Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and computer-program product embodiments for selecting a face image based on a name. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving the name. Based on the name, a name vector is selected from a plurality of name vectors in a dataset that maps a plurality of names to a plurality of corresponding name vectors in a vector space, where each name vector includes representations associated with a plurality of words associated with each name. A plurality of face vectors corresponding to a plurality of face images is received. A face vector is selected from the plurality of face vectors based on a plurality of similarity scores calculated for the plurality of corresponding face vectors, where for each name vector, a similarity score is calculated based on the name vector and each face vector. The face image is output based on the selected face vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: The MITRE CorporationInventors: John C.

Patent number: 10754639Abstract: A system and method of automating software fix installation rate management for a software package including two or more hierarchical levels include obtaining information from two or more customer systems. The information indicates software fixes installed at each of the two or more customer systems. The method also includes generating a report corresponding with each of the two or more customer systems. The report indicates a number of the software fixes installed at the respective one of the two or more customer systems as compared with an average number of the software fixes installed at the two or more customer systems at one of the two or more hierarchical levels. Determining whether to increase, decrease, or maintain a rate of installation of the software fixes at each of the two or more customer systems is based on the report corresponding with each of the two or more customer systems.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Keith J.

Patent number: 7011531Abstract: A structure and method to establish an electrical connection between a tester and an electrical component. A flexible dielectric layer has a first side and a second side. A through via extends through the first side and the second side of the dielectric layer. A blind via is placed in a position that is offset from the through via and extends laterally in a first direction from a section of the first through via to a section of the flexible dielectric layer. The blind via extends in a second direction from the first side of the flexible dielectric layer to a section of the flexible dielectric layer that is between the first side and the second side of the dielectric layer. An electrically conductive member extends through the through via and extends into the blind via, thereby filling the through via and the blind via. The electrically conductive member has a first surface and a second surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2005Date of Patent: March 14, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frank D.
