  • Publication number: 20240378353
    Abstract: The present disclosure may include a method of training an electro-mechanical system that includes local trainable AI, including training a local AI for a controller of the electro-mechanical system with simulated data. A task or set of tasks or operations with the device or system as controlled, instructed, influenced, or the like by the controller having the local AI system may be performed. Real-life data may be collected from the step of performing. Further training of the local AI system is done and improving the AI simulated data generator with real-life data. A chat function may provide a human ability to ask questions. In another aspect, a system for providing a user with suggestions during social interactions. The invention may extend across many combinations of devices and systems, control systems, sensors, types of AI, and so forth.

  • Publication number: 20240378330
    Abstract: The invention presents a method for optimizing the design of structures or engineering designs utilizing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, specifically Generative Design AI. The AI system proposes an initial design, which is then iteratively optimized by a structural or design optimization system to maximize or minimize a property under certain constraints. The optimal design is used to construct a real-world structure or object, from which real-world data is gathered under actual use conditions. This data is used to retrain the AI system, facilitating ongoing improvement of the design process. The invention can be applied to a variety of fields, including but not limited to, biomedical devices, civil structures, mechanical systems, and electronic devices, among others.

  • Publication number: 20070034566
    Abstract: The present invention may be used for treatment of waste streams using domestic wastewater. A concentrate waste stream containing one or more of perchlorate, nitrate, bromate, selenate and chromate may be combined with a domestic wastewater stream. The concentrate waste stream may have not less than 3000 mg/l of total dissolved solids. The concentrate waste stream and domestic wastewater stream may be combined at a ratio of between 20% volumetric flow rate and 75% volumetric flow rate to produce a blended stream. The blended stream may be processed in a bioreactor.
