  • Patent number: 12187146
    Abstract: Techniques related to powertrain architectures for vehicles (such as hybrid electric vehicle/electric vehicles) utilizing an on-board charger are disclosed. The techniques include a device for power regulation, the device comprising a direct current (DC)-to-DC voltage converter configurable to convert a first DC voltage from an alternating current (AC)-to-DC converter to generate a first converted DC voltage to charge a battery, and convert a second DC voltage from the battery to a second converted DC voltage for a DC-to-AC inverter. The inverter couples to a motor. A control circuit is configured to direct an operating mode of the voltage converter.

  • Patent number: 11989755
    Abstract: Systems and methods of evaluating information in a computer network environment are provided. A data processing system can obtain or receive a content placement criterion, such as a keyword, associated with a content item and can determine a quality metric of the content placement criterion. The data processing system can identify a candidate content placement criterion and expand placement criteria associated with the content item to include the content placement criterion and the candidate content placement criterion based at least in part on an evaluation of the quality metric of the content placement criterion. The data processing system can expand placement criteria based in part on a throttling parameter. The data processing system can identify a correlation between a document and the placement criteria to identify appropriate content items for the document.

  • Patent number: 10540610
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are provided for analyzing a cluster of communications, such as B2C emails, to generate a template for the cluster that defines transient segments and fixed segments of the cluster of communications. More particularly, methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and/or applying a trained structured machine learning model for a generated template that can be used to determine, for one or more transient segments of subsequent communications, a corresponding probability that a given semantic label is the correct semantic label for extracted content of the transient segment(s).

  • Patent number: 10360537
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for generating and applying event data extraction templates. In various implementations, a data extraction template may be applied to structured communications to extract, from each structured communication, event data associated with a transient markup language path indicated in the data extraction template. The data extraction template may include an event-related semantic data type assigned to the transient markup language path and a strength of association between the transient structural path and the event-related semantic data type. Feedback may be obtained concerning event data extracted from one or more of the structured communications. Based on the feedback, the strength of association between the transient markup language path and the event-related semantic data type may be altered.

  • Patent number: 10007717
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to clustering documents based on one or more classification terms and optionally based on similarity of structural paths of the documents. In some implementations, the documents are communications such as structured emails or other structured communications. In some of those implementations, clustering the communications includes identifying a plurality of classification terms indicative of a classification, identifying a corpus of communications that includes communications that are not labeled with an association to the classification, and determining a cluster of the communications based on occurrence of one or more of the classification terms in the communications of the cluster.

  • Patent number: 9652530
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described herein for generating and applying event data extraction templates. In various implementations, a set of structural paths may be identified from a corpus of communications. A first structural path of the set of structural paths, associated with a first segment of text, may be classified as transient in response to a determination that a frequency of occurrences of the first segment of text across the corpus satisfies a criterion. Event heuristics may be applied to the communications of the corpus. A determination may be made, based on the applying, that the communications of the corpus are event-related. An event data type may be assigned to the transient structural path based on the applying. An event data extraction template may be generated to extract, from one or more subsequent communications, one or more event-related segments of text associated with the transient structural path.
