Patent number: 11630852Abstract: Techniques are described for automatic creation of optimal auditable entities (AEs) using a machine learning (ML)-based clustering model. The clustering model, when executed on one or more computing devices within an audit system of a company, is configured to automatically cluster the company's business processes into AEs based on similarity analyses of business process attributes. More specifically, in some examples, the clustering model ingests business processes and their corresponding attributes from a database, automatically clusters together business processes to achieve maximum intra-cluster similarity scores, and outputs the final clusters as model AEs. The resulting model AEs may be used as functional units for internal audits of the company's business processes. The resulting model AEs may improve audit efficiency due to the model AEs including only highly similar business processes.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Tylor Christopher Mondloch, Richard Penfil, II, Brian Karp, Corinne Elizabeth Larsen, Jeremy Salden, Kelley Lyn Impoco, Jeremy Paynes

Publication number: 20180129537Abstract: An example system for managing memory usage includes memory and a processor configured to publish a soft memory target for each of a plurality of applications, wherein the soft memory target is to be statically predetermined based at least on a detected state of execution of each application and a size of the memory of the system. The processor is to also detect that an application exceeds the soft memory target. Additionally, the processor is to detect that a total memory usage of the system exceeds a threshold amount. The processor is to further terminate the application based at least in part on the detected soft memory target being exceeded and in response to detecting that the total memory usage of the system exceeds the threshold amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2016Publication date: May 10, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Timothy Kurtzman, Jeremy Payne Robinson, Andrew Whitechapel

Publication number: 20150369366Abstract: A metallic seal design that reduces manufacturing costs by minimizing production steps and also lowers the sealing force by incorporating a thin-wall, high height/width ratio annular column. The seal has two horizontal ribs which constrain the thin-wall column from unstable buckling to thereby reduce or eliminate the tendency of the sealing dams to become inclined to sealing flange surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2015Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: Amitava Datta, Hai-Ping Ma, Jeremy Payne

Publication number: 20150296091Abstract: A media stiffness sensor assembly for an imaging device. The assembly comprises a translation mechanism coupled to a contact member, a drive mechanism coupled to the translation mechanism and a position sensor for providing a signal indicative of the position of the contact member. The assembly is mounted within an imaging device so that the contact member is moved into bending contact with a cantilevered portion of a media sheet in the media path. The energy used to translate the contact member from a home position into the cantilevered portion of a media sheet in the media path to deflect the cantilevered portion is used to determine a weight of the media sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2013Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: Stefan M Atay, Timothy L. Brown, Daniel L. Carter, Marc Alan Herwald, Niko Jay Murrell, Jeremy Payne

Patent number: 8104770Abstract: A process chamber 10 comprising a container (12), a lid (14), and a sealed interface (16) therebetween. The container's interface surface (30) and/or the lid's interface surface (32) includes at least one groove (36) in which a seal (40) is situated. The seal (40) comprises an elastomeric element (50) and a metallic element (60). The elastomeric element (50) and the metallic element (60) can be arranged and adapted to seal the chamber's interface (16) sequentially during its conversion to a sealed condition. And/or the elastomeric element (50) and the metallic element (60) can be arranged and adapted to seal the chamber's interface in series once the lid (14) is in its sealed condition.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2008Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Amitava Datta, Peter G.

Patent number: 7938407Abstract: A spring seal for sealing in high temperature applications includes a jacket and a spring member disposed within the jacket. The spring member is constructed to control a sealing load or spring rate of the spring seal relative to opposing flanges while the jacket is constructed to provide a sealing surface relative to the opposing flanges. The spring member is manufactured from a cast blade alloy, thereby allowing the spring member to maintain its spring back characteristics at relatively high temperatures of about 1300° F. and greater. Accordingly, the spring member minimizes the formation of a leak path between the spring seal and the opposing flanges. In one embodiment, the spring member is manufactured with a substantially U-shaped cross-section. With such a configuration, the spring seal provides substantially balanced, opposing forces on the jacket to minimize the formation of gaps between the spring seal and the flanges.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2007Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Amitava Datta, Dominick G.
