  • Publication number: 20250148351
    Abstract: A continuous meta-learning system operating at a server is described. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method includes accessing, at the server, a deployed machine learning model, metadata, and new prediction data for the deployed machine learning model, detecting a novel trend in the deployed machine learning model based on the new prediction data, generating label suggestions for the novel trend using metadata, querying a plurality of users to verify the label suggestions, detecting a consensus of the plurality of users, the consensus based on a rate of responses from the plurality of users that confirm the label suggestions, and in response to detecting the consensus, training a new machine learning model based on the new prediction data and the consensus of the plurality of users. The computer-implemented method also includes deploying the new machine learning model at the server.

  • Publication number: 20250143433
    Abstract: A hair care appliance is provided. The hair care appliance includes a handle and a body coupled to the handle via a rotational hinge joint. The body can be movable via the rotational hinge joint between a straight configuration in which the body is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the handle and a bent configuration in which the body extends along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle. A fluid flow path extends between an inlet in the handle and an outlet in the body. The hair care appliance can be operated with minimal loss of fluid flow in either the straight configuration and the bent configuration. The hair care appliance includes a fan assembly in the handle and a heater assembly in the body that are positioned to create a balanced center of mass of the hair care appliance when operated by a user.

  • Patent number: 12293553
    Abstract: The present concepts relate to lossless data compression techniques for reducing the size of a data structure. Certain data in the data structure that can be either recovered from another source or rebuilt from other available information may be removed from the data structure. To further reduce data size, the retained data in the data structure may be packed into a smaller-bit encoding data type. Additionally, to reduce the data size even more, the packed data may be zipped using a lossless data compression algorithm. To regain the original data structure, the process may be reversed. The zipped data may be unzipped using a lossless data decompression algorithm. The packed data may be unpacked into the original bit-sized data encoding. The removed data may be restored by either recovering it from another source or rebuilding it from other available information.

  • Patent number: 12275098
    Abstract: A tool less method of connecting a welding-type power source with a cart is disclosed. In some examples, the cart may be configured to carry one or more gas bottles (and/or cylinders). In some examples, the power source housing and the cart may connect at interfacing ends and/or walls of the housing and cart. A connector, such as a clip for example, may span the interface to connect the power source housing and the cart. Catches (e.g. slots, holes, crevices, and/or protrusions) may be formed in and/or on the power supply housing and/or cart proximate to the interfacing ends and/or walls. In some examples, the catches may be aligned. In some examples, the cart and/or power source housing may include alignment surfaces to assist with alignment.

  • Publication number: 20250076876
    Abstract: A worksite tracking system uses sensor data associated with operations of a machine on a worksite to detect when the machine performs a dump event to dump material at the worksite, and to update tracking data that tracks machine operations and material movement at the worksite. If sensor data causes detection of a false dump event that did not actually occur, the worksite tracking system identifies the detected false dump event and suppresses corresponding information to update and correct the tracking data.
