  • Publication number: 20240384445
    Abstract: Systems for producing M bundles of filaments, wherein M?1, include N extruders, M spin stations, and a processor, wherein N>1. Each extruder includes a thermoplastic polymer having a color, hue, and/or dyability characteristic, which are different from each other. Each spin station produces N bundles of filaments that form a yarn. Each spin station comprises N spinnerets through which filaments are spun from molten polymers streams received by the respective spin station and N spin pumps upstream of the N spinnerets for the respective spin station. Each spin pump is paired with one of the N extruders. The processor is in electrical communication with the N*M spin pumps and is configured to adjust the volumetric flow rate of the polymers pumped from each spin pump to achieve a ratio of the polymers to be included in the yarn from each spin station.

    Abstract: Career coaching comprising defining a number of employment positions, wherein each employment position comprises a number of required skills. Relationships between the employment positions are modeled, wherein the model maps potential transitions between employment positions according to similarities of required skills. A number of persons who have occupied the employment positions are modeled according to skills, employment history, and job performance. A user provides user data that comprises skills, employment history, and job performance. The user data is compared to the modeled persons, and a number of potential employment opportunities from among the number of employment positions are matched to the user based on similarities between the user and the modeled persons. The potential employment opportunities are then displayed to the user on a graphical user interface.

  • Publication number: 20240252889
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify, independently from each other, the resistance of the pedals. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the pedals. The method includes determining, based on the measurements, a quantifiable or qualitative modification to the resistance provided by a pedal of the pedals. The resistance provided by another pedal of the pedals is not modified. The method includes transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device to cause the resistance provided by the pedal to be modified.
