Patent number: 10789529Abstract: A data entry system is described which has a user interface which receives a sequence of one or more context text items input by a user. The data entry system has a predictor trained to predict a next item in the sequence. The predictor comprises a plurality of learnt text item embeddings each text item embedding representing a text item in a numerical form, the text item embeddings having a plurality of different lengths. A projection component obtains text item embeddings of the context text items and projects these to be of the same length. The predictor comprises a trained neural network which is fed the projected text item embeddings and which computes a numerical output associated with the predicted next item.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Douglas Alexander Harper Orr, Juha Iso-Sipila, Marco Fiscato, Matthew James Wilson, Joseph Osborne

Patent number: 10787892Abstract: A system and method for the in situ processing of internal SRF cavity surfaces to reduce field emission and improve maximum gradient. An electromagnetic radiation source is introduced in the bore of a superconducting cavity to enhance ionization or dissociation of gases which then remove contaminants from the surface of the cavity, either through direct surface bombardment, chemical reaction or through the production of radiation which interacts with the contaminants. An RF or low frequency electromagnetic field may be established in the cavity which further enhances the ionization or dissociation process and may cause the ions to bombard sites with enhanced electric fields. The invention removes the requirement that the RF field be sufficient by itself to ionize gas in the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: JEFFERSON SCIENCE ASSOCIATES, LLCInventors: Robert Legg, Thomas Powers

Patent number: 10786702Abstract: The exercise mat system includes an exercise mat consisting of an upper surface with visual markers. The relative positioning of the visual markers correlates to a user's body parts and the distances between the user's body parts. The visual markers accommodate various body shapes and sizes and also accommodate the body changes experienced by a user. The visual markers are represented in different forms, positive space, and negative space so that the user's brain engages the marker's differently depending on which way the user orients his or her body on the mat. The visual markers also serve as measurement device for tracking progress. The symmetry of the mat enables a user to compare and contract movements on each side of his or her body while visually seeing the differences through the relative reference points.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: AG ADVISORY GROUP, LLCInventors: Gina-Marie DeRaimo, Alexandra Szakats

Patent number: 10786797Abstract: A Fluid Catalytic Cracking process converts heavy crude oil fractions into lighter hydrocarbon products at high temperature and moderate pressure in the presence of a catalyst. During this process, catalyst particles stay entrained in the descending gas stream. An inlet scroll on the cyclone may be used to keep the inlet gas stream and the entrained particles away from the entrance to the gas outlet tube. Refractory material may applied to the interior of the wall of the cyclone to form an abrasion resistant lining to insulate the walls of the cyclone from the gas flow contents. The inlet feed velocity may be used as a predictive factor to determine a wear rate of the cyclones. Thus, lining erosion can be predicted so that the lining can be repaired or replaced during a planned turnaround.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: UOP LLCInventor: Dharmesh Chunilal Panchal
