Publication number: 20240090721Abstract: A robotic cleaner includes a housing, a suction conduit with an opening, and a leading roller mounted in front of a brush roll. An inter-roller air passageway may be defined between the leading roller and the brush roll wherein the lower portion of the leading roller is exposed to a flow path to the suction conduit and an upper portion of the leading roller is outside of the flow path. Optionally, a combing unit includes a plurality of combing protrusions extending into the leading roller and having leading edges not aligned with a center of the leading roller. Optionally, a sealing strip is located along a rear side of the opening and along a portion of left and right sides of the opening. The underside may define side edge vacuum passageways extending from the sides of the housing partially between the leading roller and the sealing strip towards the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Steven Paul CARTER, Adam Udy, Catriona A.

Patent number: 11783223Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for techniques for creating machine learning models. Application developers can select a machine learning template from a plurality of templates appropriate for the type of data used in their application. Templates can include multiple templates for classification of images, text, sound, motion, and tabular data. A graphical user interface allows for intuitive selection of training data, validation data, and integration of the trained model into the application. The techniques further display a numerical score for both the training accuracy and validation accuracy using the test data. The application provides a live mode that allows for execution of the machine learning model on a mobile device to allow for testing the model from data from one or more of the sensors (i.e., camera or microphone) on the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Michael R. Siracusa, Alexander B. Brown, Dheeraj Goswami, Nathan C. Wertman, Jacob T. Sawyer, Donald M. Firlik

Patent number: 11614922Abstract: The subject technology transforms a machine learning model into a transformed machine learning model in accordance with a particular model specification when the machine learning model does not conform to the particular model specification, the particular model specification being compatible with an integrated development environment (IDE). The subject technology generates a code interface and code for the transformed machine learning model, the code interface including code statements in the object oriented programming language, the code statements corresponding to an object representing the transformed machine learning model. Further, the subject technology provides the generated code interface and the code for display in the IDE, the IDE enabling modifying of the generated code interface and the code.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alexander B.

Patent number: 11537368Abstract: The subject technology provides for parsing a line of code in a project of an integrated development environment (IDE). The subject technology executes indirectly, using the interpreter, the parsed line of code. The interpreter references a translated source code document generated by a source code translation component from a machine learning (ML) document written in a particular data format. The translated source code document includes code in a chosen programming language specific to the IDE, and the code of the translated source code document is executable by the interpreter. Further the subject technology provides, by the interpreter, an output of the executed parsed line of code.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alexander B. Brown, Michael R. Siracusa, Norman N. Wang

Patent number: 11256479Abstract: An interactive software development environment in one embodiment can interactively provide outputs of execution or evaluation of software entered into the environment prior to compilation of the software and can automatically add one or more error handling expressions that isolate errors from effecting future software. The environment can automatically add the one or more error handling expressions for each line for software or for a set of software to wrap the set to catch and isolate errors. The execution or evaluation of software in the environment can be, for example, by read-evaluate-print-loop functionality provided by the environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventor: Alexander B.

Patent number: 11256481Abstract: Methods and systems for developing software can perform both compilation operations and read-evaluate-print-loop (REPL) operations on source code. In one embodiment, an integrated development environment can include a source code editor and a compiler and can perform the following operations: receiving source code and performing REPL operations as the source code is received; receiving edits in the source code for which REPL operations have been performed and compiling, by the compiler, the edited source code; and storing results of execution of the edited source code for use in subsequent REPL operations.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Alexander B.
