  • Patent number: 11960867
    Abstract: Using a natural language (NL) latent presentation in the automated conversion of source code from a base programming language (e.g., C++) to a target programming language (e.g., Python). A base-to-NL model can be used to generate an NL latent representation by processing a base source code snippet in the base programming language. Further, an NL-to-target model can be used to generate a target source code snippet in the target programming language (that is functionally equivalent to the base source code snippet), by processing the NL latent representation. In some implementations, output(s) from the NL-to-target model indicate canonical representation(s) of variables, and in generating the target source code snippet, technique(s) are used to match those canonical representation(s) to variable(s) of the base source code snippet. In some implementations, multiple candidate target source code snippets are generated, and a subset (e.g., one) is selected based on evaluation(s).

  • Patent number: 11957393
    Abstract: A variable length headless compression screw insertion system includes a compression screw and a driver assembly for driving the compression screw into a bone. The compression screw has a bone screw and a compression sleeve coupled to the bone screw. The bone screw includes a proximal end having an external threading threadably received in the compression sleeve, and the compression sleeve includes a proximal end having a predefined drive feature and an external threading. The driver assembly includes a sleeve coupler adapted to threadably receive the external threading of the compression sleeve. A ram driver is coupled to the sleeve coupler and has a predetermined length such that its distal end is shaped to contact the proximal end of the bone screw to prevent translation of the bone screw relative to the compression sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20240091757
    Abstract: A method for activating a catalyst is described comprising the steps of: (i) installing a reduced and passivated catalyst containing crystallites of a catalytic metal comprising nickel, cobalt or iron in elemental form encapsulated by a layer comprising an oxide of the catalytic metal in a reactor, such as a steam methane reforming reactor, in which it is to be used, and (ii) heating the reduced and passivated catalyst in the reactor under a vacuum or an inert gas to a temperature in the range (TT?X) to (TT+Y), where TT is the Tammann temperature of the catalytic metal in elemental form in degrees Centigrade, X is 400 and Y is 200, to form a catalytically active surface on the catalyst without requiring the application of a reducing gas.

  • Patent number: 11921903
    Abstract: Data is received that characterizes artefacts associated with each of a plurality of layers of a first machine learning model. Fingerprints are then generated for each of the artefacts in the layers of the first machine learning model. These generated fingerprints collectively form a model indicator for the first machine learning model. It is then determined whether the first machine learning model is derived from another machine learning model by performing a similarity analysis between the model indicator for the first machine learning model and model indicators generated for each of a plurality of reference machine learning models each comprising a respective set of fingerprints. Data characterizing the determination can be provided to a consuming application or process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240071593
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

  • Patent number: 11914137
    Abstract: In one aspect, a light module is disclosed, which includes a housing providing a hollow chamber extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and a lens positioned in the hollow chamber, where the lens has a lens body comprising an input surface for receiving light from a light source and an output surface through which light exits the lens body, said lens further comprising a collar at least partially encircling said lens body. The light module further includes at least one shoulder on which the lens collar can be seated for positioning the lens within the housing. A light source, e.g., an LED, is coupled to the hollow chamber, e.g., at its proximal end, for providing light to the lens. In some embodiments, an optical window is disposed in the hollow chamber and is optically coupled to the output surface of the lens such that the light exiting the lens passes through the optical window before exiting the light module. In some embodiments, the shoulder can be formed as part of the housing.

  • Patent number: 10975732
    Abstract: A rotor turning device for balancing a rotor secured atop a tower of a wind turbine during installation and/or repair of one or more rotor blades of the wind turbine includes a hydraulic drive mechanism for operably engaging with a brake disc of the wind turbine. The brake disc is positioned adjacent to a gearbox of the wind turbine. The rotor turning device also includes a mounting device for securing the rotor turning device adjacent to the brake disc of the wind turbine. Thus, when the hydraulic drive mechanism engages the brake disc, the rotor is rotated to a desired position so as to position one or more rotor blades of the wind turbine in a balanced configuration.
