  • Patent number: 11928180
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are disclosed. The method includes receiving a first text unit, extracting features from the first text unit, receiving a second text unit, extracting features from the second text unit, receiving a portion comprising the first text unit and the second text unit, and aggregating the features extracted from the first text unit and the features extracted from the second text unit. The method also includes generating a set of scores for the first text unit, the second text unit, and the portion, and based on the set of scores, selecting at least one ground truth candidate from the first text unit, the second text unit, and the portion. Additionally, the method includes determining that the at least one ground truth candidate includes at least one confirmed ground truth, and adding the at least one confirmed ground truth to a ground truth repository.

  • Publication number: 20230333663
    Abstract: A control unit for a plumbing assembly includes a first sensor for sensing a gesture and at least one direction associated with the gesture. The control unit also includes a first pair of sensors arranged along a first axis of the control unit, which determine a velocity of the gesture along the first axis. The control unit includes a second pair of sensors arranged a long a second axis of the control unit, which determine a velocity of the gesture along the second axis. The control unit includes at least one controller operably coupled to the first sensor, the first pair of sensors, and the second pair of sensors, where the at least one controller adjusts an operational state of the plumbing assembly based on the velocity of the gesture along the first axis, the velocity of the gesture along the second axis, and the at least one direction.

  • Patent number: 11751651
    Abstract: A configurable bag is provided. The configurable bag has plurality of various interconnecting storage compartments (or “modules”). The interconnecting storage compartments may be selectively used to store various objects such as, for example, shoes, clean clothes, dirty clothes, toiletries, etc. The interconnecting storage compartments may be selectively secured vertically to each other so as to be able to be easily fit within, for example, a standard vertical gym locker. Retractable hooks may be secured to the sides of the interconnecting storage compartments so as to allow the assembled device to hang vertically from a hanger poll. The storage compartments may allow for both front and top access into the interior of the device.

  • Patent number: 11526544
    Abstract: A multidimensional system for generating a multimedia search engine is provided. A computer device identifies a plurality of independently separable aspects of a multimedia file. The computing device provides at least one independently separable aspect of the plurality of independently separable aspects as input into an object detection model. The computing device receives, from the object detection model, an identification of at least one object and a corresponding level of confidence that the object is present in the multimedia file. The computing device classifies the object as either confident or not confident, based on whether the level of confidence meets a threshold level of confidence. The computing device generates a multimedia search engine based, at least in part, on the object and the classification.
