Patent number: 11853390Abstract: Techniques for evaluating an output of a machine learning model and using the evaluation to retrain the machine learning model are described. For example, a data set that is output from a layer of the machine learning model is reduced to a 2-D or 3-D representation that is suitable for viewing. A user views the reduced data set in a viewing environment such as virtual reality or augmented reality. The user makes changes using that viewing environment. The changes are then used to retrain the machine learning model.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2018Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Scott Bowman, Maksim Lapin, Leo Parker Dirac

Patent number: 9046559Abstract: An isolation monitor is disclosed in which a switchable bias voltage is imposed on a chassis ground. An isolation voltage is measured when a bias voltage is applied. When there are no electrical faults, the isolation voltage swings up and down to known values. When a fault occurs, the isolation voltage will not to swing to the known values, and thus the isolation resistance can be measured and alarm generated if the isolation resistance falls below a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: CURTIS INSTRUMENTS, INC.Inventors: Ryan Lindsay, Roger White, Scott Bowman, John Cochoy
