  • Patent number: 11970876
    Abstract: A system for providing shade onto a surface is described herein. The system includes a canopy configured for engagement with, and aerial suspension by, a frame. The frame includes a plurality of sections configured for end-to-end alignment from a left end to a right end of the frame. Each section is configured to engage with any adjacent sections to form the frame. The ends of the frame are secured to the surface, thereby aerially suspending the canopy and providing shade to the surface.

  • Patent number: 11960299
    Abstract: A flexible material handling system for can handle varied loads and placements including operation in varying weather conditions, and integrates safety systems to tolerate pedestrians and manual vehicles in an operating environment. An autonomous vehicle is operable along a vehicle traversal path within a predetermined set of environmental conditions. A GPS base station is operatively in communication with the autonomous vehicle. A supervisor/orchestrator is operatively in communication with the autonomous vehicle and the GPS base station and is operative to coordinate movement of the autonomous vehicle along the vehicle traversal path and assign one or more tasks for the autonomous vehicle to accomplish.

  • Patent number: 11556705
    Abstract: An input text that is also transmitted to a text processing service (e.g., a cloud based text processing service) is received. Characterizing information (e.g., contiguous parts of speech, terms used per part of speech, payload length, etc.) is extracted from the input text. A text payload is generated using the characterizing information. A performance test is run on the text payload. The performance test can include performing at least one selected from a group consisting of: sentiment analysis on the text payload, entity analysis on the text payload, content classification on the text payload, and syntax analysis on the text payload. The performance test can yield a processing time required to perform the performance test. Memory and processing power resource allocation to the text processing service can be altered based on the processing time of the performance test.

  • Patent number: 11462038
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for interpreting text classification predictions through deterministic extraction of prominent n-grams. A determination is made of n-gram vectors comprising word embeddings of n-grams in a document and of a document vector comprising word embeddings of the document. A label is received from the text classifier program, comprising a text classification of the document. A determination is made of a label vector comprising word embeddings of the label. The n-gram vectors, the document vector, and the label vector are used to determine n-grams that explain the text classification of the text classifier program.

  • Patent number: 8735173
    Abstract: A novel protein profiling method of testing for Lysosomal Storage Diseases (“LSD”) using discovered normalized lysosomal fingerprint patterns. The fingerprint patterns reveal the health of lysosomal organelles, specific LSD, and clinical severity. Multiplexing bead technology for simultaneous screening of multiple LSD and normalizing measured enzyme activity or protein levels against other lysosomal proteins, enzymes, or enzyme activities. Compounds, reagents, and methods for identifying and quantifying multiple target enzymes and proteins.

  • Patent number: 7615224
    Abstract: Multiplexing bead technology is used for simultaneous screening of multiple LSD and normalizing measured enzyme activity or protein levels against other lysosomal proteins, enzymes, or enzyme activities. Diagnostic compositions include microspheres conjugated to purified antibodies that specifically bind LSD target antigens: saposin, LAMP-1, ?-iduronidase, ?-glucosidase, ?-glucosidase, 2-sulphatase, 4-sulphatase, ?-galactosidase, sphingomyelinase, 3-sulphatase or sulphamidase. The target antigens are naturally present in biological fluids or tissues of either LSD or non-LSD patients.
