Patent number: 11995559Abstract: A computer-implemented method optimizing genetic algorithms for finding solutions to a provided problem is described. The method implements a multi-arm bandit algorithm to determine performance scores for candidate individuals from a candidate pool in dependence on successes and failures of the one or more candidates. The method evolves the candidate individuals in the candidate pool by performing evolution steps including: determining a fitness score for each of the candidate individuals in the candidate pool in dependence on the performance scores for the candidate individuals, discarding candidate individuals from the candidate pool in dependence upon their assigned performance measure, and adding, to the candidate pool, a new candidate individual procreated from candidate individuals remaining in the candidate pool after the discarding of the candidate individuals.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Cognizant Technology Solutions U.S. CorporationInventors: Xin Qiu, Risto Miikkulainen

Patent number: 11994232Abstract: A fluid compressor system having an electro-magnetic throttle valve (EMTV) that utilizes magnetic forces supplied by an electromagnet to actuate the opening and closing of the valve. The fluid compressor system may include a control system that controls the position of a valve plate of the EMTV, allowing the EMTV to fully or partially actuate to a plurality of intermediate positions depending on a current supplied to the electromagnet by the control system. The control system may control a location of the valve plate with reference to the electromagnet by balancing the forces acting on the valve plate, such as electromagnetic forces supplied by the electromagnet, biasing forces supplied by biasing components, and gravitational forces acting on the valve plate. The EMTV may include a blowdown system configured to release a pressure within the fluid compressor system when the inlet on the EMTV is closed.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Ingersoll-Rand Industrial U.S., Inc.Inventors: Vineeth Poulose, Sajesh Poolathody, Nikhil Narayanan
