  • Publication number: 20250045591
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for using machine learning to generate and use synthetic profiles. A computing device may train a machine learning model to generate synthetic user profiles. The computing device may then use the trained machine learning model to generate a plurality of synthetic user profiles based on real user profile information, provide those synthetic user profiles to a quote provider via an API, then average the quotes received from that provider to determine an expected quote for the real user. The computing device may also collect a plurality of quotes from a quote provider based on synthetic user profiles, then train a second machine learning model to estimate quotes by that provider. That trained second machine learning model may be used to estimate quotes for users, and may be re-trained based on real quotes provided by the quote provider at a later time.

  • Patent number: 11104913
    Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and approaches for modifying guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) homeostasis in photosynthetic eukaryotes, in particular plants or algae, in order to modulate senescence for the remobilisation of nitrogen and other nutrients from the chloroplast, and modified photosynthetic eukaryotes thus produced.

  • Patent number: 10606019
    Abstract: A breakout assembly for transitioning a multi-fibre optical cable into one or more individual fibres is disclosed. The breakout assembly includes a first housing segment engageable at a first end to the cable and engageable at a second end with one or more furcation tubes that each receive an individual fibre from the cable, and a second housing segment engageable at a first end to the cable and engageable at a second end with one or more furcation tubes that each receive an individual fibre from the cable. The first housing segment is securable to the second housing segment so as to encapsulate at least a portion of the individual fibres as they break out from the cable.
