  • Patent number: 12047252
    Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system may use machine learning to determine whether a control is faulty or generate recommendations to make a modification to a control. may identify a portion of problematic computer code that implements the faulty control through the use of machine learning. A computing system may use machine learning to generate embeddings that map incident data and control data (e.g., computer-readable code of a control) to the same vector space. Further, a computing system may use a weighting mechanism that may be used to weight each sample used to train a machine learning model, which may allow a model to train more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 8823794
    Abstract: Methods and systems may include high speed camera to capture a video of a display output, a robotic arm to interact with a device, a processor, and a computer readable storage medium having a set of instructions. If executed by the processor, the instructions cause the system to identify one or more user experience characteristics based on the captured video, and generate a report based on the one or more user experience characteristics. The report may include a perceptional model score that is generated based on the user experience characteristics as well as other parameters. The user experience characteristics could include response time, frame rate and run time characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20070288138
    Abstract: Diagnostic codes from a vehicle or other system in transit are transmitted to an opportunity server. The opportunity server searches for potential providers according to user preferences, specifications of the system in transit, and location of the provider in relationship to the travel itinerary of the mobile system. Requests for bids are issued to potential providers, and offers are received and coalesced from the providers. The operator of the vehicle is presented with one or more coalesced offers. Upon selection of an offer by the operator, the service is scheduled, including arranging for parts, personnel and facilities.

  • Publication number: 20040099376
    Abstract: Plasma etching is controlled utilizing two etchant gases to form a plasma so as to obtain controlled (e.g., uniform) etch rate across a wafer. One etchant gas forms appositive plasma, which is the dominant plasma. The other etchant gas forms a negative plasma, which is the secondary plasma. The ratio of dominant plasma to the secondary plasma can be adjusted such that ion densities are uniform across the wafer, resulting in uniform etch rate over the wafer.
