  • Patent number: 11429908
    Abstract: By executing a natural language processing model on a set of natural language text describing a first engagement, a set of characteristics of the first engagement is generated. By executing the natural language processing model on a set of natural language text describing a future engagement, a set of characteristics of the future engagement is generated. The first engagement is determined to be above a threshold similarity with the future engagement. Using the skillset used in performing the first engagement, a required skillset of the future engagement is forecasted. By executing the natural language processing model on a set of natural language text describing a current skillset, a set of characteristics of the current skillset is generated. Using the required skillset of the future engagement and the set of characteristics of the current skillset, a learning path is generated.

  • Publication number: 20220269698
    Abstract: From an unstructured content using an ontology, a forward materialization graph is generated. The forward materialization graph is converted to a set of vector representations comprising multidimensional numbers representing elements of the forward materialization graph. A set of inference paths is computed for the set of vector representations. An inference path in the set of inference paths connecting a first vector representation with a second vector representation. Based on a set of features, the set of vector representations is formed into clusters, a feature in the set of features comprising a relevance probability, the relevance probability corresponding to a relevance of a portion of the unstructured content according to a relevance metric. A structured representation of the unstructured content is placed at an edge location of a content delivery network determined using the set of clusters.

  • Publication number: 20220272136
    Abstract: A set of nodes of a content delivery network are weighted according to an effect of a node on a network. A data points parameter specifying a number of nodes constituting a cluster is set according to a policy. A subset of the weighted nodes is clustered according to the data points parameter. A cluster comprises nodes having a content access history similarity greater than a threshold similarity. A structured representation of a natural language document is positioned at a node within the cluster, the positioning determined by evaluating a similarity between the structured representation and a content access history of the node.

  • Patent number: 11421399
    Abstract: A load sensitive ride system and method is disclosed for a vehicle with an implement movably attached by a boom cylinder. The system includes a payload weight measuring system that measures payload weight and generates a signal indicative of the payload weight, a ride control circuit that adjusts hydraulic flow to and from the boom cylinder; and a controller that receives the signal indicative of the payload weight, and sends compliance commands to adjust ride control compliance based on the signal indicative of the payload weight. The system can include a tire inflation system that adjusts tire pressure. The controller can send inflation commands to adjust tire pressure based on the signal indicative of the payload weight. The compliance commands can depend on the components and compliance adjustment methods of the ride control circuit.

  • Patent number: 11424018
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and processes for monitoring attributes of a user's physical activity (e.g., workout) or inactivity, and to user interfaces (e.g., an activity indicator) for displaying the same. In some examples, a device determines whether physical activity corresponds to a first type based on a first set of criteria, and whether physical activity corresponds to a second type based on a second set of criteria. In some examples, the device controls an inactivity timer that measures user's inactivity. In some examples, the device displays a first visual representation of an attribute or amount of a first type of physical activity, and a second visual representation of an attribute or amount of a second type. In some examples, the device displays a third visual representation of an attribute or amount of a third type of activity. In some examples, the third visual representation corresponds to user's inactivity.

  • Patent number: 11412792
    Abstract: A self-sterilizing, face mask, respirator, open or enclosed face shield employs germicidal, far UV-C light safe for direct human exposure, mitigating risk of acquisition or transmission of respiratory pathogens, such as COVID 19. Device attachments or special lenses direct far UV-C light into the respiratory chamber and/or reservoir areas of infection including nasal, oropharyngeal or ocular areas to reduce or eliminate pathogens, serving also as a treatment modality. In a preferred embodiment the face shield has a removable front section, which can be exchanged or replaced with sections that include various functional attributes while maintaining germicidal protections and avoiding need to remove PPE during these activities including consumption of liquids, oral medications or food, as well as providing antimicrobial absorbent sneeze or cough guard or rhinorrhea secretion absorption, or a communication device to address communication deficiencies caused by respiratory protection barriers.

  • Publication number: 20220236980
    Abstract: By analyzing execution of a set of transactions by an application, a set of actual code execution paths of the application are determined. From the set of actual code execution paths, a set of predicted execution paths of the application are predicted using an execution prediction model. The set of predicted execution paths includes the set of actual code execution paths. By determining that paths in the set of predicted execution paths have above a threshold similarity to each other, a cluster of predicted execution paths is identified. The cluster of predicted execution paths is recommended, using a recommendation model, for implementation as a single execution path in a revised version of the application.
