  • Patent number: 11432042
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to classify all other tuning (AOT) data are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a media interface to access first channel information corresponding to a first record at a first time. An operating state identifier is to store the channel information corresponding to the first record at the first time in a data store. An AOT identifier is to determine the first record is classified as AOT data. A comparator is to compare the channel information at the first time with second channel information at a second time, wherein the second channel information at the second time corresponds to a previously classified media record. A record updater is to, when the first channel information matches the second channel information, update the first record with a media identification from the matched classification classified media record and store the updated first record in the data store.

  • Patent number: 11429953
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for processing a gift involving separate transactions. A system configured to practice the method first associates a policy with a giver having a giver account and a recipient having a recipient account, wherein the giver account is independent of the recipient account, and wherein the policy requires at least two transactions prior to applying a gift amount. Then the system monitors transactions using the recipient account to identify at least two separate qualifying transactions according to the policy. Upon identifying the at least two separate qualifying transactions, the system applies the gift amount to the recipient account according to the policy.

  • Patent number: 11429860
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a DNN classifier by “learning” a “student” DNN model from a larger more accurate “teacher” DNN model. The student DNN may be trained from un-labeled training data because its supervised signal is obtained by passing the un-labeled training data through the teacher DNN. In one embodiment, an iterative process is applied to train the student DNN by minimize the divergence of the output distributions from the teacher and student DNN models. For each iteration until convergence, the difference in the output distributions is used to update the student DNN model, and output distributions are determined again, using the unlabeled training data. The resulting trained student model may be suitable for providing accurate signal processing applications on devices having limited computational or storage resources such as mobile or wearable devices. In an embodiment, the teacher DNN model comprises an ensemble of DNN models.

  • Patent number: 11430578
    Abstract: A subcritical reactivity monitor that utilizes one or more primarily gamma sensitive (prompt responding) self-powered detector style radiation measurement devices located within the core of a nuclear reactor to determine the amount that the reactor multiplication factor (Keff) is below the reactivity required to achieve or maintain a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. This invention utilizes measured changes in the self-powered detectors' current(s) to allow a reactor operator to measure the value of Keff at essentially any desired interval while the reactor is shutdown with a Keff value less than the critical value of 1.0. This invention will enable integration of the output of the value of Keff directly into the Reactor Protection System, which will enable the elimination of the operational and core design analysis constraint costs associated with the current Boron Dilution Accident prevention methodology and enable automatic control of the Chemical Volume Control System.
