  • Publication number: 20200342478
    Abstract: An embodiment provides a data processing system comprising a processor coupled to a memory for storing a machine learning current value model trained to output a prediction of current value, the machine learning current value model representing a set of vehicle features and historical secondary market transaction values. The processor is configured to create a set of inventory records. The processor is further configured to extract a set of vehicle attributes for a respective vehicle from an inventory record, create a feature vector for the respective vehicle based on the set of vehicle attributes extracted from the inventory record, determine a current value for the respective vehicle by processing the feature vector for the respective vehicle using the machine learning current value model and update the inventory record for the respective vehicle by adding the current value for the respective vehicle to the inventory record for the respective vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4382321
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a machine for fraying woven fabrics, comprising a table adapted to receive the fabric; a drive device adapted to advance the fabric over the table; an engaging device with reciprocating vertical displacement adapted to pass the yarns of the fabric which are parallel to the direction of advance, through an opening in the table; a cutting tool disposed beneath the table to cut the yarns having passed through said opening, so as to obtain a drawn fabric having only yarns perpendicular to the direction of advance; and a fraying knife disposed above the table and behind the engaging device, with respect to the direction of advance, to cut the yarns of the drawn fabric and fray the fabric.
