  • Publication number: 20250355914
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for an embedding search that are optimized, e.g., for a “find similar” or “more like this” search. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving a request to find data records in a collection of data records that are similar to a particular data record, determining that the particular data record is not included in a model comprising data indicative of similar data records among the collection based on embeddings of data records in the collection, and, responsive thereto, generating at least one embedding of the particular data record and searching the model for a subset of the collection that are similar to the particular data record, based on the at least one embedding. The method further comprises providing a response to the request comprising at least some of the similar data records.

  • Patent number: 12327099
    Abstract: A method at a computing system, the method including creating a signature for a software component, the signature being created by hashing source code for the software component; checking a cache to determine whether the signature matches a cached signature; and responsive to the signature matching a cached signature, obtaining a binary for the software component from another computing system without compiling the software component.

  • Publication number: 20240368888
    Abstract: A composite load-bearing member is disclosed. The member includes a core with opposed upper and lower side and opposed lateral sides extending between the upper and lower side and opposed ends extending between the upper and lower sides and between the lateral sides and with a longitudinal axis extending through the ends. The core is substantially solid. The member further includes a shell that is bonded to the core on at least the upper, lower and lateral sides and that includes first reinforcing fibres and second reinforcing fibres in a first resin matrix. The first reinforcing fibres are parallel to the longitudinal axis and the second reinforcing fibres are oblique to the longitudinal axis. Also disclosed is a method of forming the composite load-bearing member.

  • Patent number: 8166853
    Abstract: A digital torque wrench includes a position sensor assembly which measures the movement of a load beam with respect to an indicator beam to determine the torque being applied to a working element by the torque wrench. The position sensor assembly includes a first position sensor portion having multiple rotatable pinion gears coupled to a potentiometer, and includes a second position sensor portion having a rack gear that engages one of the pinion gears of the first position sensor portion. The first and second position sensor portions are attached to different ones of the load beam and the indicator beam so that at least one of the pinion gears rotates along the rack gear in response to force (torque) being applied through the load beam to the working element.

Rotation of the pinion gears causes rotation of a potentiometer element, which produces a signal indicative of the relative displacement of the load beam with respect to the indicator beam.
