  • Patent number: 11971901
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems for encoding transforms based on intent to be useable by developers. The system receives input datasets, generates output datasets, and identifies characteristics of the input or output datasets. Using these characteristics, the system can encode transforms associated with the datasets based on intent. The system stores and/or associates the intent-encoded transforms in data profiles, so that the system enables the transforms to be searched, recommended, and/or combined.

  • Publication number: 20240137468
    Abstract: Systems and methods for replacing original media bookmarks of at least a portion of a digital media file with replacement bookmarks is described. A media fingerprint engine detects the location of the original fingerprints associated with the portion of the digital media file and a region analysis algorithm characterizes regions of media file spanning the location of the original bookmarks by data class types. The replacement bookmarks are associated with the data class types and are overwritten or otherwise are substituted for the original bookmarks. The replacement bookmarks then are subjected to a fingerprint matching algorithm that incorporates media timeline and media related metadata.

  • Publication number: 20240132278
    Abstract: A refuse collection drone includes a chassis, tractive elements rotatably coupled with and supporting the chassis, a propulsion system including a battery and an electric motor configured to consume electrical energy from the battery, and a bin removably coupled with the chassis and including a cover. The propulsion system is configured to drive one or more of the tractive elements to transport the refuse collection drone to a customer location. The bin defines a storage volume for refuse. The cover is configured to be driven by an actuator between an open position to allow access to the storage volume and a closed position to limit access to the storage volume. A lock is operable between a locked state to limit transition of the cover out of the closed position and an unlocked state to allow transition of the cover out of the closed position and into the open position.

  • Publication number: 20240132279
    Abstract: A depot for autonomous land-based refuse drones includes a chassis anchored to a ground surface, a container defining a storage volume for refuse, a collection implement, and refuse actuators. The collection implement is configured to selectively couple with at least one of (i) refuse within a drone storage volume or (ii) a portion of the one of the autonomous land-based refuse drones that defines the drone storage volume. The refuse actuators are operably coupled with the collection implement and configured to drive the collection implement to perform an unloading operation. The unloading operation includes selectively coupling, moving, and de-coupling from at least one of the refuse within the drone storage volume or the portion of the autonomous land-based refuse drone that defines the drone storage volume to unload the refuse from the drone storage volume into the storage volume of the container.

  • Publication number: 20240119303
    Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system may use a surrogate machine learning model to detect whether a production or other machine learning model has a tendency to generate different output depending on which subpopulation a particular sample belongs to. The surrogate machine learning model may be trained using features/outputs that are not included in the data used by the production model. For example, by using demographic information in lieu of the original labels of a dataset that was used to train a production model, a surrogate model may be used to detect whether the production model is able to discern one or more characteristics associated with but not present in a sample using other features of the dataset. Output of the surrogate machine learning model may be clustered to detect whether certain subpopulations are treated differently by the production model.

  • Publication number: 20240116110
    Abstract: A micro-alloyed copper powder was produced using gas atomization reaction synthesis, with the alloy preferably comprising Cu-0.3Zr-0.15Ag wt. %. The novel copper alloy improves the manufacturability of copper in powder bed fusion manufacturing processes by minimizing or avoiding the prior art problems associated with oxidation of the copper precursor used in additive manufacturing. Advantageously, the provided copper alloy powder maintains the high electrical conductivity of copper while addressing the prior art oxidation issue.
