Publication number: 20250086505Abstract: A system for generating training data for a machine learning target prioritization model includes a processor and a memory having computer executable instructions stored thereon. The computer executable instructions are configured for execution by the processor to: cause the processor to receive rules linking a candidate targets to a goal, where the rules are incomplete, biased, and/or partially incorrect, cause the processor to generate voters, where each voter is associated with a corresponding rule and each voter contains the logic of each corresponding rule, cause the processor to assign, via each one of the voters, at least one of an association value or an abstention to each one of the candidate targets, and cause the processor to create a single training label for each one of the candidate targets having at least one association value by combining the association values assigned to each respective candidate target.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2022Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: Christopher Cotter, David Larson, Mitchell Goist

Patent number: 12230486Abstract: Described herein is an ion pump system implementing an electronic ratchet mechanism produced by modulating a spatially varying electric potential distribution that can result in a net ionic current and voltage. The ion pumping membrane system includes an ion-permeable layer integrated with ion-selective membranes. The electric potential distribution within the ion-permeable layer is modulated through external stimuli. When immersed in solution, ions within the ion-permeable layer experience a time varying, spatially asymmetric electric field distribution resulting in ratchet-driven direction pumping, which can be used in applications such as desalination.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Shane Ardo, Gideon Segev, Francesca Toma, Joel Ager, Rylan Kautz, David Larson

Patent number: 12202166Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for cutting wood workpieces, such as logs and cants, into desired products. In various embodiments, after a log is chipped into a cant, the cant may be scanned and re-optimized based on the new scan data and information about the source log, such as simulated orientation parameters, a 3D model, and/or potential cut solutions. In other embodiments, data from multiple sensor types may be used in combination to detect splits in logs, cants, or both. Optionally, re-optimization and split detection techniques may be used in combination to improve wood volume recovery, value, and/or throughput speed.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: USNR, LLCInventors: Douglas G.

Patent number: 10298875Abstract: An evidentiary management process for digital data associated with a localized Miranda-type process includes first detecting an electronic Miranda-type process trigger event, capturing audio/video of a suspect and storing a unique identifier of the suspect, selecting a particular stored Miranda-type warning variation, and then playing back the selected warning variation and storing an indication thereof. Then the unique identifier of the suspect and the stored indication of the warning variation are aggregated into a single data structure. An electronic anti-tamper process is then applied to the single data structure to generate an anti-tamper indicator, and the single data structure and anti-tamper indicator are stored or transmitted to a remote device.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: David Klein, David Larson, Lisajane M.
