  • Publication number: 20170024645
    Abstract: A novel unified neural network framework, the dynamic memory network, is disclosed. This unified framework reduces every task in natural language processing to a question answering problem over an input sequence. Inputs and questions are used to create and connect deep memory sequences. Answers are then generated based on dynamically retrieved memories.

  • Patent number: 9547308
    Abstract: A rapid transition floating vessel that is able to follow the yaw motions of a turret moored floating vessel is provided. The rapid transition floating vessel includes a system and processes for dynamically positioning the floating vessel alongside a turret moored floating vessel whereby the floating vessel remains at a safe distance while being connected to the turret moored floating vessel. This is achieved by the floating vessel following the yaw motions of the turret moored floating vessel as the turret moored floating vessel weathervanes about a center of the turret moorings.

  • Patent number: 9463848
    Abstract: A semi-submersible platform that is suitable to serve as a logistics hub at a remote offshore location. The semi-submersible platform is configured in a V-shape to reduce motion of the semi-submersible platform caused by rough sea conditions. The semi-submersible platform has a vessel docking area within the platform and a balancing unit to balance the unsymmetrical load of the platform that protects a vessel in the docking area from rough sea conditions.

  • Patent number: 8924707
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for communicating confidential information in a resource friendly manner between an application and a database using an application programming interface, API. The method establishes first and second socket connections between the application and the database in an API connection between the application and the database. The first socket connection is arranged to be secure and the second socket connection is arranged to be non-secure. Information is then communicated through the first or second socket connection based on whether the information is identified as being confidential information or not. The evaluation of confidentiality may be undertaken at the client side of a JDBC or ODBC layer without putting any extra pressure on the database server side.

  • Patent number: 8385599
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and a method of segmenting and detecting objects which can be approximated by planar or nearly planar surfaces in order to detect one or more objects with threats or potential threats. The method includes capturing imagery of the scene proximate a platform, producing a depth map from the imagery and tessellating the depth map into a number of patches. The method also includes classifying the plurality of patches as threat patches and projecting the threat patches into a pre-generated vertical support histogram to facilitate selection of the projected threat patches having a score value within a sufficiency criterion. The method further includes grouping the selected patches having the score value using a plane fit to obtain a region of interest and processing the region of interest to detect said object.

The tray energy absorber further comprises a plurality of ribs that extend from the base joining the first transverse wall to the second transverse wall. In one embodiment the density of the ribs varies along the transverse width of the tray energy absorber. In another embodiment at least one of the plurality of ribs is greater than 50% of the height of the first transverse wall or the second transverse wall where the rib joins the first and second transverse walls. The present invention also provides for a bumper system used in a vehicle that includes a tray energy absorber attached to a bumper beam.
