  • Patent number: 11954597
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using embedded function with a deep network. One of the methods includes receiving an input comprising a plurality of features, wherein each of the features is of a different feature type; processing each of the features using a respective embedding function to generate one or more numeric values, wherein each of the embedding functions operates independently of each other embedding function, and wherein each of the embedding functions is used for features of a respective feature type; processing the numeric values using a deep network to generate a first alternative representation of the input, wherein the deep network is a machine learning model composed of a plurality of levels of non-linear operations; and processing the first alternative representation of the input using a logistic regression classifier to predict a label for the input.

  • Patent number: 4651998
    Abstract: The invention relates to a projectile target game of the dart type which has individual player score keeping apparatus that includes a pair of nonrotatable shafts around which are loosely carried continuous belts which have an opaque background through which transparent numbers have been formed. Each digit of a number has a width substantially greater than the digits height. The continuous belt passes between a light source and a unidirectional magnifying lens which magnifies only the height dimension of the number's digits. The continuous belt is provided with score advance openings that are exposed via a slot in the face of the game that supports the target. The score advance openings are adjacent the transparent numbers such that a score may be made to appear in the magnifying lens. The target of the dart game is a dart board which has a unique bullseye target deflection detection mechanism.
