  • Patent number: 12050975
    Abstract: A framework for interpreting machine learning models is proposed that utilizes interpretability methods to determine the contribution of groups of input variables to the output of the model. Input variables are grouped based on correlation with other input variables. The groups are identified by processing a training data set with a clustering algorithm. Once the groups of input variables are defined, partial dependent plot (PDP) tables for each group are calculated and stored in a memory, which are used for calculating scores related to each group of input variables for a given instance of the input vector processed by the model. Furthermore, Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) values for each group can be calculated by summing the SHAP values of the input variables for a given instance of an input vector per group. These scores can then be sorted, ranked for each interpretability method, and then combined into one hybrid ranking.

  • Patent number: 12052365
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for protecting a secret on a device with limited memory, while still providing tamper resistance, are described. To achieve security, an encoding computer can apply a memory-hard function MHF to a secret S and determine a result Y, then determine a proof ? for the result Y. Then, the encoding computer can send a codeword C comprising the secret S and the proof ? to a decoding computer. The decoding computer can retrieve the codeword C from persistent memory and parse the secret S and the proof ?. The decoding device can use transient memory to decode the codeword C by verifying the proof ? was generated with the secret S and the result Y. When the correctness of the result Y is verified, the decoding device can apply a cryptographic function to input data using the secret S then reset the transient memory.

  • Patent number: 12049397
    Abstract: A mobile lift column (200) is configured to automatically position itself with respect to a vehicle (112) to be lifted. A proximity and object sensor is used to identify a location of a vehicle and navigate obstructions while advancing to the vehicle. The column includes a set of automatically driven Mecanum wheels (222, 224) that can be variably controlled to provide precise movement in any direction without rotating the column. A camera (244) positioned on the column identifies a wheel of the vehicle, and an alignment beam is projected onto the wheel to verify centering on the wheel. Once positioned, the column may operate one of several lift members, including a pair of removable fork adapters (216, 218), to extend underneath the vehicle and contact the vehicle lifting points. With at least two columns properly positioned, each mobile column can simultaneously raise its lift member(s) to lift the vehicle to a desired height.

  • Patent number: 12052349
    Abstract: Several round-efficient solitary multi-party computation protocols with guaranteed output delivery are disclosed. A plurality of input devices and an output device can collectively perform a computation using methods such as fully homomorphic encryption. The output of the computation is only known to the output device. Some number of these devices may be corrupt. However, even in the presence of corrupt devices, the output device can still either generate a correct output or identify that the computation was compromised. These protocols operate under different assumptions regarding the communication infrastructure (e.g., broadcast vs point-to-point), the number of participating devices, and the number of corrupt devices. These protocols are round-efficient in that they require a minimal number of communication rounds to calculate the result of the multi-party computation.

  • Patent number: 12051903
    Abstract: A system for controlling power in a facility having an electrical system including an energy storage device and a generator and an associated fuel tank. The fuel tank provides fuel to the generator and has a gauge indicating remaining fuel. Both the energy storage device and the generator operate. The generator may be used to provide power to the facility, the energy storage device, or both simultaneously. A first power consuming device imposes a first load connected to the electrical system and second power consuming device imposes a second load connected to the electrical system. The system receives information related to the loads and calculates an initial estimated run time of the energy storage device, and information related to the first load and information related to the second load. The system selectively removes the second load in a simulation and calculates a second run time of the energy storage device.
