Patent number: 11681505Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application relate to improving the process of generating and deploying software applications in a network environment, particularly software applications that incorporate or rely upon machine learning models. More specifically, the present disclosure provides specific user interface features and associated computer-implemented features that may effectively, from a user's perspective, remove most of the complexities associated with writing and deploying code and developing and improving machine learning models. For example, the present disclosure may provide user-friendly visual building blocks that allow users to build and customize machine learning workflows that can then be turned into a full software application and optimized and deployed at target destinations of the users' choice.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: OPENTRONS LABWORKS INC.Inventors: Sankha Subhra Mukherjee, Rolf Hugh Baxter, Neil Martin Robertson

Patent number: 6904807Abstract: Shakers and methods of testing suitable for various applications, including those presenting adverse test environments. The shakers have a permanent magnet assembly mounted in a sealed housing for vibration along a shaker axis. The permanent magnet assembly is double ended, and includes at least one shorting ring to hold down the inductance of the driving coils at higher frequencies. Fluid cooling (or heating) of both the shaker housing and the permanent magnet assembly allows placement of the shakers inside a temperature test chamber. The shakers may be coupled directly to the article to be tested, or coupled singularly or in a plurality to a test table to which an article to be tested is coupled. Various embodiments and methods of testing are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2003Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Labworks, Inc.Inventor: Gary C. Butts

Patent number: 4825022Abstract: An improved mail sorting computer keyboard, having a plurality of keys arranged in first and second groups for rotational movement, is provided. A first rod is disposed through apertures of each key of the first group of keys while a second rod is disposed through apertures of each key the second group of keys. A third rod extending transversely across the keyboard and under a front portion of the first group of keys and a fourth rod extending above the first group of keys define the rotational arch for the first group of keys. A fifth rod transversely disposed under a front portion of the second group of keys and a sixth rod transversely disposed under the rearward portion of the second group of keys defines the rotational arch for the second group of keys. Each key of the keyboard actuates a corresponding electrical switch for sending impulses to a mail sorting computer.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1986Date of Patent: April 25, 1989Assignee: Labworks Inc.Inventor: Gary C.

Patent number: 4803362Abstract: An optical switch for use as a modular keyboard switch designed to provide tactile and audible feedback to the keyboard operator. The switch includes an opaque housing in which a light emitting device and a light activated detector are mounted. A "U" shaped spring shutter rests within the housing between the emitter and detector and has an aperture through which light from the emitter may illuminate the detector. A spring loaded key stem moves longitudinally within the housing and is designed to penetrate the open end of the shutter. The key stem and shutter are shaped such that as the key stem is depressed the upwardly extending arms of the shutter are at first forced outward by projecting shoulders on the key stem and then snap back along upwardly sloping surfaces of the shoulder, thereby causing the shutter to spring upwards and block the optical path between the emitter and detector. The snap action of the shutter causes an audible "click" and also provides tactile feedback to the operator.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1987Date of Patent: February 7, 1989Assignee: Labworks, Inc.Inventor: Gary C.
