  • Publication number: 20210312256
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tagging data strings in electronic documents using a convolutional neural network model. The method includes receiving an electronic document and extracting data strings from the electronic document. The method also includes tokenizing each of the data strings into tokens and determining a first tag corresponding to a first token for a first data string using a convolutional neural network model. The method further includes receiving user response data corresponding to an accuracy of the first tag and determining a second tag corresponding to the first token based on the user response data using the convolutional neural network model. The method also includes storing results data into a database and generating for display the results data on a user device.

  • Patent number: 10677261
    Abstract: A turbine engine that includes an engine casing including a shell and an angel wing member. The angel wing member includes a base defined at the shell, a tip positioned distal from the base, and a first side and a second side that define a thickness of the angel wing member. The thickness of the angel wing member is non-uniform between the base and the tip.

  • Patent number: 10662813
    Abstract: A turbine engine that includes an engine casing including a shell and an angel wing member. The angel wing member includes a base defined at the shell and a tip positioned distal from the base. The turbine engine also includes a backsheet extending over the angel wing member such that an angled region is defined in the backsheet at an interface with the tip. The tip has a predetermined contour capable of mitigating stress concentrations in the angled region induced from said tip.
