Patent number: 11970876Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Shibumi Shade, Inc.Inventors: Dane Brooks Barnes, Alexander Griffith Slater, Scott Christian Barnes

Patent number: 11556705Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Alexander Brooks, Gabriel Goodhart, Sukriti Sharma, Nhan Hoang, Jalal Mahmud, Gaurav Kumbhat, Amita Misra, Zachary Branson

Patent number: 11462038Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Alexander Brooks, Gaurav Kumbhat

Patent number: 8735173Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Women's and Children's HospitalInventors: Peter John Meikle, John Joseph Hopwood, Douglas Alexander Brooks, Caroline Dean
