  • Patent number: 11461643
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence engine that has two or more modules cooperating with each other in order to create one or more machine learning models that use an adaptive semantic learning for knowledge representations and reasoning. The modules cause encoding the representations and reasoning from one or more sources in a particular field with terminology used by one or more human sources in that field into a set of rules that act as constraints and that are graphed into a neural network understandable by a first machine learning model, and then ii) adapting an interpretation of that set of encoded rules. The understanding of that set of encoded rules is adapted by i) allowing for semantically similar terms and ii) by conclusions derived from training data, to create an understanding of that set of encoded rules utilized by the machine learning model and the AI engine.

  • Patent number: 11420651
    Abstract: A vehicle system including a vehicle component and a controller is provided. The controller may selectively activate the vehicle component and communicate with a mobile unit including an interface. The controller may be programmed to interact with the mobile unit upon detection by accessing vehicle sleep mode instructions preprogrammed by a user via the interface in which the controller activates the vehicle component according to an escalation sequence schedule to disengage a vehicle sleep mode. The system may further include a sensor in communication with the vehicle component and the controller. The controller may be further programed to activate the vehicle component according to the escalation sequence schedule based on receipt of a signal from a sensor indicating a passenger is asleep.

  • Patent number: 11270240
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing inventory movements are disclosed. Transfer orders are issued to move inventory from location to location in response to real-time demand events. One method includes receiving an inventory request in response to demand signals. The inventory request is analyzed to determine if inventory needs to be moved within the supply chain to satisfy the request. Origin locations are identified that have available stock of the requested items. Transfer orders are issued for each movement on an individual item basis regardless of the type of event that prompted the transfer. The transfer management system responds in real-time to inventory demands from both online and in-store sales.
