Patent number: 11238339Abstract: A set of vectors may be obtained. The vectors may be multi-dimensional vectors that are associated with and describe tokens from a first set of tokens from a corpus of sources. The description may be based in part on the relationship of the token to at least a portion of the remainder of the corpus. A set of sentiment scores may be obtained. The sentiment scores in the set of sentiment scores may describe a sentiment associated with a corresponding token that is described by a vector from the set of vectors. The set of vectors and the set of sentiment scores may be input into a pattern-recognizer pathway in a first neural network. A probability value of a potential future event may then be generated by the first neural network. The probability value may be based on the set of vectors and the set of sentiment scores.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2017Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeff Powell, Aaron K. Baughman, John J. Kent, John C. Newell, David Provan, Noah Syken

Patent number: 9346315Abstract: A game bird display device is provided that is configured to display multiple portions of a game bird from a single assembly. The display device is particularly suited for turkey birds, and comprises a rear mounting portion and a front mounting portion in parallel and spaced relation. The rear mounting portion is configured to be supported by a wall surface, while the offset between the portions accommodates the base of a turkey tail fan therein. Fasteners secure the base of the tail fan between the portions. Along the base of one of the portions is a game bird spur support member. The member supports a pair of turkey spurs in opposing relationship. Below or behind the game bird spur support member is supported the beard of the turkey. The display device therefore supports the tail fan, beard, and spurs of a game bird in one assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2015Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Inventor: Jeff Powell

Patent number: 6804872Abstract: A compression limiter formed by a roll forming process includes a substantially cylindrical body portion and a plurality of feet. A plurality of notches are stamped along a lower edge of a flat sheet of stock and bent to form the plurality of feet. The flat sheet of stock is then rolled to form the compression limiter. In the preferred embodiment, the compression limiter is formed of a high carbon steel. The plurality of feet of the compression limiter transmit the bolt load of a fastener attaching a plastic intake manifold to a component. In an alternative embodiment, an angled portion attaches each foot to the body of the compression limiter which accommodates for variations in the height of the plastic intake manifold.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2002Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignee: Siemens VDO Automotive Inc.Inventor: Jeff Powell

Patent number: 6386151Abstract: The air supply system of the vehicle engine includes a flow body that allows for the flow of air through a flow passage to the vehicle engine. An aluminum support mounts the engine control module. This support is then placed in communication with cool air flowing through the flow passage. Heat is accordingly dissipated from the engine control module. Because of the proximity of the air supply system to the vehicle engine, the wire harness for the engine control module is shortened.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2000Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: Siemens Canada LimitedInventor: Jeff Powell
