Patent number: 11934922Abstract: A computer system, product, and method are provided. The computer system includes an artificial intelligence (AI) platform operatively coupled to a processor. The AI platform includes tools in the form of a machine learning model (MLM) manager, a metric manager, and a training manager. The MLM manager accesses a plurality of pre-trained source MLMs, and inputs a plurality of data objects of a test dataset into each of the source MLMs. The test dataset includes the plurality of data objects associated with respective labels. For each source MLM, associated labels are generated from the inputted data objects and a similarity metric is calculated. The MLM manager selects a base MLM to be used for transfer learning from the plurality of source MLMs based upon the calculated similarity metric. The training manager trains the selected base MLM with a target dataset for the target domain.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Parul Awasthy, Bishwaranjan Bhattacharjee, John Ronald Kender, Radu Florian, Hui Wan

Publication number: 20220108151Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for utilizing an augmented neural network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes utilizing a neural network (NN) pre-processor to convert generic coordinates associated with a dynamical system to canonical coordinates, concatenating a Hamiltonian neural network (HNN) to the NN pre-processor to create a generalized HNN, and training the generalized HNN to learn nonlinear dynamics present in the dynamical system from generic training data. The method also includes utilizing the trained generalized HNN to forecast the nonlinear dynamics, and quantifying chaotic behavior from the forecasted nonlinear dynamics to discover and map one or more transitions between orderly states and chaotic states exhibited by the dynamical system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Inventors: William Lawrence Ditto, John Florian Lindner, Sudeshna Sinha, Scott Thomas Miller, Anshul Choudhary, Elliott Gregory Holliday

Publication number: 20090308416Abstract: An ultrasonic cleaner apparatus with an opening mechanism including a plurality of lugs preferably formed on a top surface of the apparatus, a lid enclosing the apparatus and resting on the lugs when the lid is in a closed position, and a rim formed exterior to the lugs, wherein the lid is secured in an open position between two or more of the plurality of lugs and the rim. A drain assembly coupled to the ultrasonic cleaner provides an advantageous configuration for dispensing cleaning and/or sterilizing fluid and the like from the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2009Publication date: December 17, 2009Applicant: COLTENE WHALEDENT INC.Inventors: Zachary Utz, John Florian, Douglas Mansor, James Fitzsimmons, Dean Dao, Jonathan Frato, David Calvert

Patent number: 4058247Abstract: A rectangularly shaped tray comprising a bottom product-supporting wall and up-standing side and end walls. The bottom product supporting wall is characterized by being elevated at its center portion, such as is provided by a quadrilateral pyramid-like bottom product-supporting wall with the apex of said quadrilateral pyramid being at the center portion of the bottom wall and at an elevation higher than the horizontal plane of the bottom of the four corners of said tray, whereby, when the commodity to be packaged is placed in the tray, the weight of said commodity presses the bottom wall of the tray downwardly resulting in the longer sidewalls of the tray being pulled inwardly.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1976Date of Patent: November 15, 1977Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventor: John Florian
-
Patent number: 4057651Abstract: A meat tray of thermoformed plastic foam is provided with high side walls of sufficient stability to retain cut pieces by vertical flutes in the side walls and at the corners.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 1975Date of Patent: November 8, 1977Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventor: John Florian
-
Patent number: 4049187Abstract: Thermoformed cups, having elements adapted to provide a stable handle, which are nestable in a small space, the handle including a tab extending radially from the brim of the cup and a hinged flange at each side of the tab. To form the handle the flanges are turned down and are retained by shoulders of a recess in the upper surface of the cup. Weight of liquid in the cup causes the flanges to bear against the side of the cup to afford stability in addition to that resulting from retention by said shoulders.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1976Date of Patent: September 20, 1977Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventor: John Florian
-
Patent number: 3997101Abstract: Stability of a thermoformed foam meat tray, especially to overwrapping by machine, is enhanced by a circumferential flange of the side walls of generally V-shaped cross section to terminate at approximately the plane of the bottom of the tray. Full nestability is afforded by upper surfaces of the flange at an angle to each other smaller than the corresponding angle between lower surfaces of the flange.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1975Date of Patent: December 14, 1976Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventor: John Florian

Patent number: 3989158Abstract: A self-draining saucer is provided by combination of two concave discs (saucer shape). The lower disc has a central well defined by a depressed central bottom and circular wall. The upper disc is formed such that its bottom convex surface generally follows the concave upper surface of the lower disc. A vertical surface on the under side of the upper disc frictionally engages a similar surface inside the lower disc to retain the pair. Holes are provided through the top disc above the well in the lower disc for drainage of spilled liquid into the well. The combination is easily formed of thermoplastic resin and assembled on standard thermoforming machinery.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1974Date of Patent: November 2, 1976Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventor: John Florian
-
Patent number: 3974722Abstract: A packaging tray, especially adapted for the containment of moisture containing food products such as meat, poultry and fresh produce comprising a bottom supporting surface having a plurality of spaced apart liquid entrapping recesses. The individual recesses have a larger cross-sectional area at their base than at their top.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1975Date of Patent: August 17, 1976Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventor: John Florian
-
Patent number: 3942671Abstract: A tray for food and beverages in which the beverage cup recesses are adapted to retain differing size cups by reason of an arcuate projection from the bottom at one side of such recess.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1974Date of Patent: March 9, 1976Assignee: Mobil Oil CorporationInventor: John Florian
