  • Patent number: 12266159
    Abstract: A product description generating system dynamically generates a description of an item based on one or more images. The product description generating system includes an attribute machine learning system that receives images of the item and determines at least one attribute value and corresponding prediction confidence value based on the image data. The user review interface provides an interface for reviewing attribute values generated by the attribute machine learning system. If the prediction confidence value is outside a threshold, then the attribute value is reviewed by a user via the user review interface. If, on the other hand, the prediction confidence value is within a threshold, then the attribute value is used to generate the description without user review. The user review interface groups items to be reviewed by taxon and facilitates user review of many items at scale.

  • Patent number: 12265587
    Abstract: Connections among two different entities are identified by processing a collection of documents to identify one or more documents that contain co-occurring mentions of each of the two different entities. This relationship may be graphically displayed in a user interface with an icon or the like for each of the two entities, along with a graphical link interconnecting the entities. The graphical link can be an active element of the user interface that responds to user interactions by providing access to evidence within the collection of documents that substantiates the connection between the two entities. In one aspect, a search input form field in a user interface may be used to explicitly request documents that substantiate a relationship between two entities. In another aspect, a user may ground entity mentions by explicitly selecting documents that mention an entity of interest.

  • Publication number: 20250094177
    Abstract: A method for firmware access on a computing device includes, at a firmware access agent of the computing device, receiving a read request for firmware instructions from a hardware logic component of the computing device. The read request is generated as part of a boot sequence of the hardware logic component, and is received via a data interface communicatively coupling the hardware logic device and the firmware access agent. The firmware access agent retrieves the firmware instructions over a computer network from a remote firmware storage system separate from the computing device. The firmware instructions are provided to the hardware logic component via the data interface, such that the hardware logic component executes the firmware instructions and continues the boot sequence.

  • Patent number: 12158327
    Abstract: Provided is a frangible munitions device optimized for a dome and cylinder that yields fragments having shapes corresponding to a predetermined embossment pattern upon explosive rupture. The embossment pattern includes a first set of inner regular hexagonal embossments formed into the dome and cylinder that are aligned with the axis of the cylinder, and a second set of outer pre-deformed hexagonal shapes that distort to produce regular hexagonal shapes after drawing into the cylinder wall. The second set of shapes are separated by sharp transition regions. The shapes are embossed in a repeated pattern around the hollow cylinder and the dome top. The dome yields a plurality of fragments having shapes corresponding to the first set of inner regular hexagonal embossments upon explosive rupture, while the cylinder yields a plurality of fragments having shapes corresponding to the second set of outer pre-deformed hexagonal embossments upon explosive rupture.
