Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling a power generating subsystem connected to a power generating system at a point of interconnection (POI). A subsystem controller receives a feedback first data signal corresponding to an electrical parameter for reactive power or power factor contributed by the power generating subsystem to the POI, the first data signal having a first signal fidelity. The subsystem controller receives a second data signal indicative of the electrical parameter measured at the power generating subsystem and having a second signal fidelity higher than the first signal fidelity. The subsystem controller generates a correlation value between the first and second data signals and applies the correlation value to modify a setpoint value for the electrical parameter at the POI. The subsystem controller uses the modified setpoint value and the second data signal to generate a setpoint command for the power generating subsystem.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for providing a multi-tasked trained machine learning model that may be configured to generate product embeddings from multiple types of product information. The exemplary product embeddings may be generated for a corpus of products (e.g., products included in a product catalog, etc.) based on both image information and text information associated with each respective product. Accordingly, the generated product embeddings may be compatible with learned representations of the different types of product information (e.g., image information, text information, etc.) and may be used to create a product index, which can be used to determine and serve product recommendations in connection with multiple different recommendation services that may be configured to receive different types of inputs (e.g., a single image, multiple images, text-based information, etc.).

Abstract: Healthcare object (HCO) discriminator systems and methods are presented. Systems can obtain a digital representation of a scene via a sensor interface. An HCO discriminator platform analyzes the digital representation to discriminate objects within the scene as being associated with a type of HCO or as being unrelated to a type of HCO. Once the HCO recognition platform determines that a type of HCO is relevant, it instantiates an actual HCO. The HCO can be routed to one or more destinations based on routing rules generated from a template or based on the manner in which the objects in the scene were discriminated.

Abstract: The present invention is a ball feeding and throwing apparatus that is capable of feeding multiple ball throwing devices. The present invention feeds balls to each device at a constant rate and allows each ball feed to be independently controlled via a remote control. The present invention comprises a main hull, feeder modules, feeding tubes, and ball throwing devices. The main hull be an all-in-one system which feeds balls via the feeder modules at a constant rate. The feeder modules then transfer the balls through the feeding tubes to each of the multiple ball throwing devices where the balls are thrown towards an athlete. The present invention allows a single coach to control a number of ball feeds remotely and independently. Thereby allowing a single coach to train a number of athletes at one time. Further, the training experience is improved as the coach is free to control the ball feeds remotely, placing the coach in close proximity to an athlete.

Abstract: Systems and methods for responding to a subscriber's text-based request for content items are presented. In response to a request from a subscriber, word pieces are generated from the text-based terms of the request. A request embedding vector of the word pieces is obtained from a trained machine learning model. Using the request embedding vector, a set of content items, from a corpus of content items, is identified. At least some content items of the set of content items are returned to the subscriber in response to the text-based request for content items.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying content for an input query are presented. A mapping model is trained to map elements of an input query embedding vector for a received query into one or more elements of a destination embedding vector. In response to receiving an input query, an input query embedding vector is generated that projects into an input query embedding space. The input query embedding vector is processed by the mapping model to map the input query embedding vector into one or more elements of a destination embedding vector in a destination embedding space, resulting in a partial destination embedding vector. Items of a corpus of content are projected into the destination embedding space and the partial destination embedding vector is also projected into the destination embedding space. A similarity measure determines the most-similar items to the partial destination embedding vector and at least some of the most-similar items are returned in response to the input query.

Accordingly, the facility-level controller determines a reactive-power-delivery coefficient for each power generating asset of the power generating facility. The reactive-power-delivery coefficient includes at least one of a reactive-power-generation coefficient and a reactive-power-transmission coefficient. The reactive-power-delivery coefficient is indicative of an impact on the active power production capability of each of the power generating assets due to a change in an amount of reactive power delivered to a point of interconnect. Based at least in part on the reactive-power-delivery coefficient, the facility-level controller determines a portion of a demand signal to be satisfied by each of the power generating assets.

Accordingly, the farm controller designates at least one of the plurality of wind turbines of the wind farm as a designated turbine.

When a power output for the designated wind turbine exceeds a power threshold, the farm controller directs at least one group of the remaining wind turbines to transition from the reduced auxiliary mode to the full auxiliary mode. During certain grid conditions, the transition between auxiliary modes may be delayed.
