Patent number: 9651458Abstract: A method and system for auto safety verification of automatic guided vehicle (AGV) sensors is presented. An auto safety verification test can be performed autonomously by the AGV to ensure that sensors on the AGV are configured correctly and working properly. The auto safety verification test avoids human errors that exist in manual verification tests and significantly reduces the amount of time required to verify sensors on the AGV.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Swisslog Logistics Inc.Inventors: Brad Moore, Horace Bailey, Isaiah Reynolds, Arsenio Evans

Patent number: 9507767Abstract: A parsing method and system. The method includes generating an n-gram model of a domain and computing a tf-idf frequency associated with n-grams of the n-gram model. A list including a frequently occurring group of n-grams based on the tf-idf frequency is generated. The frequently occurring group of n-grams is transmitted to a deep parser component and a deep parse output from the deep parser component is generated. The deep parse output is stored within a cache and a processor verifies if a specified text word sequence of the deep parse output is available in the cache.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2016Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Boudreau, Brad Moore, Ahmed Mousaad, Craig M.
