  • Patent number: 11176477
    Abstract: Described is a system for unsupervised domain adaptation in an autonomous learning agent. The system adapts a learned model with a set of unlabeled data from a target domain, resulting in an adapted model. The learned model was previously trained to perform a task using a set of labeled data from a source domain. The set of labeled data has a first input data distribution, and the set of unlabeled target data has a second input data distribution that is distinct from the first input data distribution. The adapted model is implemented in the autonomous learning agent, causing the autonomous learning agent to perform the task in the target domain.

  • Patent number: 11174966
    Abstract: Fluid damped check valves are described herein. A representative check valve includes a piston assembly movably positioned within a housing. The housing can include a flow chamber, a damping chamber containing a damping fluid, and a leak chamber fluidly coupled between the flow chamber and the damping chamber. The piston assembly can include a poppet positioned in the flow chamber, and a flange positioned in the damping chamber. In operation, the piston assembly is movable between (i) a closed position in which the poppet sealingly engages the housing to at least inhibit fluid flow through the flow chamber and (ii) an open position in which the poppet disengages from the housing and permits fluid flow through the flow chamber. When the piston assembly moves between the open and closed positions, the flange moves through the damping fluid in the damping chamber to slow the movement of the poppet.

  • Patent number: 11177749
    Abstract: A system for controlling an electric motor including a rotor supported by a lubricant upon a stator with a plurality of stator poles and stator windings includes monitoring a radial position and rotor angle of the rotor by a controller. The system includes generating adjustments by the controller to cause the stator poles to apply a net radial force to the rotor. This net radial force may be used, for example to cause the rotor to be centered upon a central axis of the electric motor and may be particularly advantageous for a lubricant supported rotor. A motor drive provides an AC current to the stator windings as well as phase current adjustments of the electrical current in one or more of the stator windings to apply the net radial force to the rotor in a direction perpendicular to the drive axis.
