Publication number: 20240144396Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a concentrate grade recommendation using a concentrate grade optimization engine in a material processing engine of a material processing system. The concentrate grade recommendation refers to a quantified value for concentrate grade that corresponds to an economic value for ore of a mining process. In operation, input data comprising material processing planning data and economic data associated with a recovery process are accessed. The input data is analyzed using a grade recovery relationship machine learning model. The grade recovery relationship machine learning model is trained on historical material processing data features associated with concentrate grade and recovery of the material recovery process. The historical data includes data on produced concentrate (e.g., achieved grades and corresponding recovery). Based on analyzing the input data, a concentrate grade that corresponds to an economic value is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Rohin Wood, Ric Zong-Yang Porteous, Artem Vladimirov, Malcolm James Walsh, Julian Edwin Lovett Cooper

Patent number: 9104743Abstract: A system and method determines the differences between versions of an object, such as a file. The object versions are compared using a differencing tool to identify the differences between the versions. A scoring algorithm may be selected for the object based on one or more attributes of the object. The scoring algorithm is used to compute a difference score for the object. The difference score may be a function of the differences between the object versions and the characteristics or qualities of those differences. The difference score provides an indication of the relative importance of the changes made to the object. The difference scores from multiple objects may be presented in an interactive report, and sorted to identify those objects that underwent the most significant or noteworthy changes.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: The Mathworks, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm A. Wood, Gavin W. Walker
