  • Patent number: 11341409
    Abstract: Deep learning approaches and systems are described to control the process of casting physical objects. A neural network, operating on one or more processors of a server or distributed computing resources and maintained in one or more data storage devices, is trained to recognize relationships between the target digital representation and the resulting metal parts that are cast, and a number of specific approaches are described herein to overcome technical issues in relation to misalignments between reference points, among others. These deep learning approaches are then used for generation of command or control signals which modify how the casting process is conducted. Command or control signals can be used to modify how a cast mold is made, to modify environmental variables, to modify manufacturing parameters, and combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 7781392
    Abstract: A malodor reducing perfume composition comprising materials a having fruity note and a two groups of an amber note material where the amount of amber and fruity materials together is at least 3% by weight where the total weight percentage of group A amber materials and group B amber materials, WA, is equal to or greater than 0.5% or the total amount of amber and fruity materials together is at least 3+22*(0.5?WA) % by weight where WA is less than 0.5%; wherein amber note materials have an odour threshold lower than that of 1-(2,3,8,8-tetramethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8octahydronaphthalen-2-yl)ethanone and group B comprises materials with an amber note having an odour threshold equal to or higher than that of 1-(2,3,8,8-tetramethyl1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydronaphthalen-2-yl)ethanone; the weight ratio of amber note material having to fruity note material in the composition is in the range about 1:30 to 30:1.

  • Publication number: 20060019630
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed to support multiple wireless account for a given subscriber. A method that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, linking various accounts to a wireless enabled device of a wireless service subscriber. In one embodiment, device addresses like telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses for devices that may call or be called by the subscriber may be associated one of the various accounts. In operation, a call may be completed between the subscriber's wireless enabled device and one of the other devices, and a call metric for the call may be tracked. A billing entry for the call may be generated from the call metric and the call may be charged to an appropriate account selected from the various accounts. The process of determining the appropriate account may include, for example, determining if the device address for the other device is associated with one of the accounts linked to the subscriber's wireless enabled device.
