  • Patent number: 12353475
    Abstract: A method for a search engine to provide domain-agnostic options for structured exploration based on a query. The method comprises clustering a corpus of historical queries into a plurality of query clusters. The method further comprises identifying a set of variable query terms in each query cluster. Then, a query structure of a new user query is identified, and a specific query cluster matching the query structure of the new user query is selected. Furthermore, the variable query term in the query structure of the new user query is identified. The method further comprises providing a query exploration interface offering user-selectable options for structured exploration of the new user query. Each of the user-selectable option corresponds to a variable query term in the identified set of variable query terms for the specific query cluster identified as matching the query structure of the new user query.

  • Patent number: 12353950
    Abstract: A system controlled responsive at least in part to data read from data bearing records is operative to cause vehicle parts usable to repair or upgrade vehicles to be determined and furnished. Data from the vehicle such as data read by a reader from a tag associated with a vehicle or from a circuit of the vehicle is used to determine vehicle identifying data. A repair estimate calculation circuit (RECC) operates responsive to the read data to produce a needed parts record (NPR). The records produced by the RECC are operative to cause a vehicle repair entity (VRE) to be furnished the vehicle repair or upgrade parts.

  • Patent number: 12353492
    Abstract: Provided are a system and method for obtaining, according to current and historical URL placement(s) on search engine results pages (SERPs) for identified keywords, predicted URL performance in SERP positioning. Such performance can, using URL titles and snippets appearing on SERPS, be assessed for URLs filtered to meet targeted (i.e., non-branded, informational, transactional) classifications. When a machine learning model receives input, including, for example, (a) historical trajectories of SERP positions for filtered URLs matched for identified keywords, (b) URL classification as informational or transactional, and (c) URL work type categorization (e.g. optimization, new Content, or no action), positioning for an analyzed URL on one or more SERPs returned for query according to one or more identified keywords can be predicted for a predetermined time horizon.

  • Patent number: 12355729
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for automatic peering between virtual networks, such as virtual private clouds (VPCs). A VPC may be configured to operate in an “auto-peering” mode, allowing for automatic peering to be turned on or off. When auto-peering is turned on, that VPC may seek connections with other VPCs, such as other VPCs matching one or more predefined policies. In addition, the particular VPC with auto-peering turned on may be open to accept connection requests from other VPCs matching one or more predefined policies. The policies for requesting connection may be the same as or different than the policies for accepting connection requests. According to some examples, the VPC may be set to a “listening” mode, in which it is open to peering with any other VPC that matches a predefined policy, but is not actively seeking to establish other connections.

  • Patent number: 12356527
    Abstract: A multimode lighting system is disclosed. Due to industry standards, manufacturers of lighting devices are incentivized to create high initial light outputs that drop off quickly. Portable lighting devices with multiple modes of operation that can maximize light output and runtime according to industry standards (e.g., FL-1) as well as other lighting modes with more consistent light output over the device runtime. Lighting modes may be adjusted automatically based on sensor input. In an extreme mode, light output may be adjusted based on the temperature of the lights. Automatic modes may be adjusted based on ambient lighting or distance to a target. Lifecycle adjustments may be made to output current levels to obtain consistent light output throughout the lifecycle of lights by adjusting lighting based on accumulated usage.

  • Patent number: 12351115
    Abstract: A vehicle electrical power system includes a phase module assembly of a multi-phase inverter. The phase module assembly includes first and second flat laminated busbars extending in orthogonal planes. The phase module assembly also includes one or more transistors that convert direct current into one phase of a multi-phase alternating current of the multi-phase inverter, and to output the phase of the multi-phase alternating current to the load. The phase module assembly also includes one or more capacitors conductively coupled with the internal positive and negative terminal connectors and with the external positive and negative bushings configured to be conductively coupled with the power source of direct current. The assembly can be useful for vehicles because the components of the system are configured to carry large amounts of current in a more reliable and sustainable manner.

  • Patent number: 12353974
    Abstract: Data-dependent node-to-node knowledge sharing to increase the interpretability of the activation pattern of one or more nodes in a neural network, is implemented by a set of knowledge sharing links. Each link may comprise a knowledge providing node or other source P and a knowledge receiving node R. A knowledge sharing link can impose a node-specific regularization on the knowledge receiving node R to help guide the knowledge receiving node R to have an activation pattern that is more easily interpreted. The specification and training of the knowledge sharing links may be controlled by a cooperative human-AI learning supervisor system in which a human and an artificial intelligence system work cooperatively to improve the interpretability and performance of the client system.
