  • Patent number: 11752411
    Abstract: A training device for teaching and practicing ball handling skills for basketball players or persons training for sports, the training device including stanchions positionable on a floor using attachment members, such as suction cups, or a flexible resilient layer. A crossbar extends between the stanchions. Flexible elements can be used to connect the stanchions to the suction cups. The lengths of the stanchions and crossbar can be adjustable to set the height of the crossbar above the floor and the separation of the crossbars. Detents can allow for adjustably fixing the lengths.

  • Publication number: 20220198333
    Abstract: A method includes training a machine learning model with data input including one or more sets of historical recipe parameters associated with producing one or more substrates with substrate processing equipment and target data including historical performance data of the one or more substrates to generate a trained machine learning model. The method further includes identifying one or more sets of additional recipe parameters associated with a level of uncertainty of the trained machine learning model. The method further includes further training the machine learning model with additional data input including the one or more sets of additional recipe parameters and additional target data including additional performance data of one or more additional substrates produced based on the one or more sets of additional recipe parameters to update the trained machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20060034187
    Abstract: A method for measuring network performance parity includes the steps of computing a call completion ratio for at least one network provider, and determining whether the call completion ratio passes a first test. These steps may further include computing a first call completion ratio for a first network provider, a second call completion ratio for a second network provider, a difference between the first call completion ratio and the second call completion ratio, and a variance for the difference. The method also includes the step of assessing whether a second test is determinate if the call completion ratio does not pass the first test, by determining whether the variance is greater than a variance cutoff. In addition, the method includes the step of assessing whether a call completion ratio passes the second test, if the second test is determinate, by determining whether the difference is greater than a threshold.
