  • Patent number: 11521092
    Abstract: An inference method according to the present invention in an inference system inferring a probability that an ending state holds based on a starting state and a rule set, the method includes: when a rule set derived by excluding one rule from rules constituting a first rule set is set as a second rule set, a probability that the ending state holds based on the starting state and the first rule set is set as a first inference result, and a probability that the ending state holds based on the starting state and the second rule set is set as a second inference result, calculating an importance being an indicator indicating magnitude of a difference between the first inference result and the second inference result; and outputting the rule and the importance of the rule, being associated with each other for each of the excluded rule.

  • Patent number: 11520988
    Abstract: The current invention concerns a computer-implemented method, a computer system, and a computer program product for the semantic classification of an entity in a building information model (BIM). The BIM comprises multiple target entities. Update data is obtained. For each target entity, geometric information about the target entity is obtained from the BIM. For each target entity, an initial probability distribution of semantic classification is determined based on the obtained geometric information about the target entity. Relative geometric information about the target entities is obtained from the BIM. For each target entity, an updated probability distribution of semantic classification is determined based on the obtained relative geometric information, the initial probability distributions of all target entities, and the update data. For each target entity, a semantic classification is selected based on the updated probability distribution of the target entity.

  • Patent number: 11496033
    Abstract: A device and method of producing electrical energy by gravitomagnetic induction utilizing Nano-features fabricated on an object surface of an object is presented. The Nano-features may include Nano-bumps and Nano-pits. One device version includes a computer hard disk, a piezoelectric glide head, and/or a GMR read head, a prior art hard drive module electronics. By spinning the nano-features disk one produces an associated magnetic force utilizing a GMR read head for producing power by the presence or the absence of matter on an object that is in motion relative to the GMR read head. A computer system generated by the alternate computer system generates gravito-magnetic energy to power itself and/or other electrical or electronic devices, and/or, detects patterns of asperities or bump on a hard disk to generate binary value private keys applicable in asymmetric cryptography, such as public key cryptography.

  • Patent number: 11488256
    Abstract: Millions of bodily injury insurance claims are filed yearly to help people who've suffered accidents from work, slip-and-falls, and auto collisions. In processing these claims, insurance companies, TPAs, and law firms routinely hire experts, such as physicians, to conduct independent medical evaluations (IMEs) to assist claims adjusters and attorneys in analyzing the eligibility of claimants for indemnity and medical benefit payments. IMEs typically cost thousands of dollars each. Yet, many are ordered too early, wasting money that could otherwise be used to reduce insurance premiums. To reduce this waste, the inventors devised, among other things, one or more exemplary systems which not only predict the outcomes of IMEs based on claimant medical records and/or or activity data before ordering them, but also presents selected claims and predictions within a graphical user interface that facilitates ordering the IMEs from a list of available physicians.

  • Patent number: 11429885
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for identifying individuals having a risk of non-adherence to or from a prescribed treatment program; for predicting and the risk, which may be determined as a forecast over a future time span; and evaluating it to further determine or invoke specific actions to mitigate the risk or otherwise improve likelihood of compliance. A singular spectrum analysis (SSA) is utilized to analyze temporal properties of a time series determined from measured or observational data to determine an emergent pattern. Based on this pattern, a risk of non-adherence, including relapse or absconding, over a future time interval by the individual may be determined and utilized to implement an intervening action.

  • Patent number: 11386327
    Abstract: Embodiments for training a neural network are provided. A neural network is divided into a first block and a second block, and the parameters in the first block and second block are trained in parallel. To train the parameters, a gradient from a gradient mini-batch included in training data is generated. A curvature-vector product from a curvature mini-batch included in the training data is also generated. The gradient and the curvature-vector product generate a conjugate gradient. The conjugate gradient is used to determine a change in parameters in the first block in parallel with a change in parameters in the second block. The curvature matrix in the curvature-vector product includes zero values when the terms correspond to parameters from different blocks.
