Publication number: 20260161666Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and systems of entity resolution based on identity graph enrichment, candidate match identification with blocking, feature generation based on similarity scores, and training and executing deduplication models to perform match classification on candidate matches. An entity graph may include transaction data originating from point-of-sale devices, which may be low quality data for entity resolution. The identity graph may be enriched with enrichment data and candidate matches with blocking may identify potentially duplicate merchant records. A deduplication models is trained and executed based on features from the identity graph to generate a match classification, in which a match indicates a duplicate merchant.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2025Publication date: June 11, 2026Applicant: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Wally F. LO FARO, Hasan HICSASMAZ, Amanjit AHUJA, Daniel WALD, Mohammad Mehdi KAFASHAN, Prabin LAMICHHANE, Arturo DEL VALLE

Patent number: 12532893Abstract: A strainer basket system may include a reservoir in which a strainer basket is positioned and a chemical dispensing docking station. The chemical dispensing docking station may have a cavity that receives a container of chemical to be dispensed and a retention mechanism that is configured to mechanically engage and retain the container of chemical, when inserted into the cavity. The docking station may also include a piercing member positioned to pierce the container of chemical as the container of chemical is inserted into the cavity, thereby releasing chemical into the reservoir and/or strainer basket.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2023Date of Patent: January 27, 2026Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Thomas Dobizl, Emily Gaynor, Tracy Graham, Amber Langley, Gina McDowell, Elaine Money, Shravan Prasad, Benjamin Schaefer, Daniel Wald, Daniel Anderson, Daniel August Gentilini

Publication number: 20260003901Abstract: Exemplary system and methods for processing a natural language query in an edge computing system are disclosed. A processor of the computing system receives a natural language textual input as a query from a user interface and receives one or more containers of documentation over a communication channel. The processor generates a query embedding vector from the textual input. The processor extracts text from the received container and generates text chunks of specified length from the extracted data. Text embeddings are generated from the text chunks and stored in memory for a specified period. The query embeddings are compared with the text embeddings to determine relevant context information. The processor passes the relevant context information and the query through a trained neural network to generate a response. The response generated by the trained neural network is formatted and output to a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2025Publication date: January 1, 2026Applicant: Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.Inventors: Daniel Wald, Philip Collin Richard Navarro Paran, Eric Robert Willis, Nathan David Zameroski

Publication number: 20250014444Abstract: A system may monitor usage of a cleaning chemical and indicate when the chemical has expired and needs to be replaced. In some examples, the system includes a reservoir containing the chemical and a sensor associated with the reservoir that can detect user interaction with the chemical in the reservoir. The system may track an amount of time until the chemical in the reservoir is deemed to have expired and provide a user alert indicating expiration of the chemical. The system can control the amount of time remaining until the chemical is deemed to have expired based on the detected addition of the object to the reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Donna Thi Nguyen, Conor Sylvester Smith, Daniel Wald, Amani Eltahir Babekir, Kyle David Wood

Publication number: 20230181277Abstract: A drape connector system can be used to join different sections of drape material, such as different sections of compositionally dissimilar drape material. In some examples, a medical drape is formed that includes a first section of drape material, a second section of drape material, and the connector system. The connector system includes a receiving body defining a groove and a locking body insertable into the groove. A portion of the first section of drape material is positioned overlaying the groove, and a portion of the second section of drape material is also positioned overlaying the groove. The locking body is inserted into the groove thereby locking the portion of the first section of drape material and the portion of the second section of drape material in the groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Kenneth James Klann, Joshua David Gunn, Daniel Wald
