  • Patent number: 11977527
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, machine learning and lineage data may be used to manage data. In some embodiments, a computing system may use lineage data to identify two datasets that may be related. The computing system may determine that a user has access to a derivative dataset but does not have access to an original dataset that was used to create the derivative dataset. In response, the computing system may use a machine learning model to generate a similarity score indicating a level of similarity between the original dataset and the derivative dataset. If the similarity score satisfies a threshold score, the computing system may modify access rights of the user so that the user is unable to access a portion of the data in the derivative dataset.

  • Publication number: 20240142990
    Abstract: A leading vehicle controls a following vehicle during a fill operation to change the positions of the two vehicles relative to one another. A control system generates a communication signal indicating that a position change operation that changes the position of the vehicles relative to one another is about to be executed. An operator display displays an indication of the position change operation prior to commencing the position change operation.

  • Publication number: 20240138314
    Abstract: A physical attribute of a receiving vehicle (a receiving vehicle parameter) is located by calculating a vehicle parameter offset value indicative of the location of the receiving vehicle parameter relative to a reference point on a following vehicle, the following vehicle providing propulsion to the receiving vehicle. The vehicle parameter offset value is stored for access during an unloading operation. A leading vehicle automatically accesses the vehicle parameter offset value and unloads material into the receiving vehicle using the vehicle parameter offset value corresponding to the receiving vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11894286
    Abstract: A hermetically sealed electronics module includes a core IC installed on a substrate. A collar surrounds the core IC and is sealed to the substrate and to a lid, forming a sealed chamber. A heat spreader bonded to an internal surface of the lid extends downward into proximal thermal contact with the core IC. A thin layer of TIM can be applied between the heat spreader and core IC. The heat spreader does not overlap any tall components that extend above the core IC, and can extend over regions adjacent to the core IC. Tall components can be limited to a periphery of the chamber, and/or the heat spreader can include openings that surround central tall components. The heat spreader can be soldered or welded to the lid over an entire upper surface of the heat spreader. X-ray and/or CSAM scanning can detect heat spreader bonding flaws.

  • Patent number: 11845195
    Abstract: A blade assembly includes a support frame, a cutting blade, a motor to drive the cutting blade, a support shaft operatively coupled to the support frame to permit pivotal movement of the support frame, and an actuator operatively coupled to the support frame to reciprocally move the slicing assembly between an extended position and a retracted position. When the slicing assembly is in the extended position, a plane of the cutting blade is substantially co-planar with a cutting plane of the food product, and the cutting blade slices the food product. Conversely, when the slicing assembly is in the retracted position, the plane of the cutting blade is disposed at a predetermined angle away from the cutting plane of the food product, and the cutting blade does not contact the food product.
