  • Patent number: 11526799
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to determine suitable hyperparameters for a machine learning model and/or feature engineering process. A suitable machine learning model and associated hyperparameters are determined by analyzing a dataset. Suitable hyperparameter values for compatible machine learning models having one or more hyperparameters in common and a compatible dataset schema are identified. Hyperparameters may be ranked according to each of their respective influences on a model performance metrics, and hyperparameter values identified as having greater influence may be more aggressively searched.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7331437
    Abstract: A friction clutch assembly for use in an on/off fan drive is provided having a simplified method for retention of the friction liner between the clutch housing and rotating drive shaft. The friction clutch assembly introduces a groove within the inner rearward portion of the clutch housing. A spiral snap ring is installed into the groove to retain the friction liner between the clutch housing and rotating drive shaft. The spiral snap ring functions to axially retain the friction liner between the clutch housing and rotating drive shaft during use.

  • Patent number: 7100544
    Abstract: An on/off clutch assembly is disclosed having a simplified method for attaching the drive shaft to the hub portion of the drive pulley. The rotating shaft is formed with an integral external threaded portion that is designed to mate with a corresponding internal threaded portion of the hub. The external threaded portion, in conjunction with the internal threaded portion, replace the holes and corresponding cap screws that are used to attach the drive shaft to the hub in current designs. The new design limits the complexity of design and manufacture of the fan drive.
