  • Publication number: 20240212318
    Abstract: A method is described for automatic creation of image classifiers using unannotated data. The method may include receiving a CLIP model configured to generate images from text; using the CLIP model to generate images of pump jacks and images of oil pools; providing the training pairs comprising the images of pump jacks and the text “pump jack” and the images of oil pools and the text “oil pool” to a classification model; and training the classification model using the training pairs for contrastive learning to generate a refined model. The refined model may be used to classify images provided by drones to identify possible oil pools. The method is executed by a computer system.

  • Patent number: 9604775
    Abstract: A beverage container or package that includes an internal surface for promoting nitrogen bubble nucleation and growth. The surface incorporates a plurality of nanoscale structures, e.g. between 6 and 100 nanometers in size. Most preferably the structures are pits, greater than 15 nm in depth/height. Upon opening the container filled with a Nitrogen (and carbon dioxide) supersaturated beverage, a foaming effect occurs which provides a desirable head of fine bubbles when transferred to a drinking glass.
