Patent number: 11721324Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for providing high quality speech recognition. A first speech-to-text model is selected to perform speech recognition of a customer's spoken words and a second speech-to-text model is selected to perform speech recognition of the agent's spoken words during a call. The combined results of the speech-to-text models used to process the customer's and agent's spoken words are then analyzed to generate a reference speech-to-text result. The customer speech data that was processed by the first speech-to-text model is reprocessed by multiple other speech-to-text models. A similarity analysis is performed on the results of these speech-to-text models with respect to the reference speech-to-text result resulting in similarity scores being assigned to these speech-to-text models.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yuan Jin, Xi Xi Liu, Li ping Wang, Fan Xiao Xin, Zheng Ping Chu

Patent number: 11672382Abstract: A micro puree machine including a housing, a power shaft, a bowl assembly and a platform. The power shaft extends from the housing. The bowl assembly including at least one locking bowl element. The platform includes at least one complementary locking platform element that is configured to engage the at least one locking bowl element such that rotation of the bowl assembly relative to the platform is prevented at times the bowl assembly is positioned thereon. The platform is rotatable from a first position to a second position relative to the housing such that the platform raises the bowl assembly towards the power shaft during the rotation of the bowl assembly and platform. The raising of the bowl assembly facilitates connection between the power shaft and a blade assembly that is positioned in a lid assembly on the bowl assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: SHARKNINJA OPERATING LLCInventors: Pushan He, Ting Hua Zhang, Ping Chu

Patent number: 11617474Abstract: A lid and blade assembly for a micro puree machine includes a lid having a central aperture for receiving a central hub of the blade. At least two cutting arms and at least two mixing arms extend radially outward from the central hub. A retaining component retains the blade within the lid during processing. The lid includes a recess below the retaining component for collecting slush and ice displaced by the blade during processing. Portions of the blade also include serrated grooves for clearing slush deposits when the blade engages the lid.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2022Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: SHARKNINJA OPERATING LLCInventors: Helen Williams, Sam William Bannister, Lukas Tubby, Ryan Michienzi, Max He, Ping Chu

Patent number: 11583144Abstract: A micro puree machine includes a mixing shaft coupled to a blade and rotatable by means of a gear. A magnet is coupled to the gear and a rotation sensor is mounted on the machine housing. As the mixing shaft descends into the pre-frozen ingredients, the rotation sensor detects a magnetic field of the magnet as the gear rotates and generates a rotation signal in response. A controller receives the rotation signal and determines a rotation count associated with the gear, causing the mixing shaft to ascend back toward the housing once a pre-selected rotation count has been reached. The pre-selected rotation count correlates with the partial processing of the ingredients.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2022Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: SHARKNINJA OPERATING LLCInventors: Helen Williams, Sam Bannister, Lukas Tubby, Ryan Michienzi, Max He, Ping Chu
