  • Patent number: 11907882
    Abstract: The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of validating models guided by machine learning algorithms. The innovation can begin by receiving a risk model for validation having multiple sets of data. A first data set is selected from as an input. Outputs are generated for validation. One output can be generating a second set of analysis results using a comparable algorithm to the risk model. Another output can be generating a second set of variables and transformations using a machine learning algorithm and an untransformed set of the selected variables to assess the set of selected transformations. Another output can be generating a third set of variables using one or more machine learning algorithms and an extended feature set of variables to assess the selected variables. The outputs are compared to the analysis results, coefficients, selected variables, and selected transformations. A report of the comparison is generated.

  • Patent number: 11896385
    Abstract: Digital imaging systems and methods are described for analyzing pixel data of an image of a shaving stroke for determining pressure being applied to a user's skin. A plurality of training images of a plurality of individuals are aggregated, each of the training images comprising pixel data of a respective individual when shaving with a shaving razor. A pressure model, trained with the pixel data, is operable to determine pressure being applied to the respective individual's skin. An image of a user when shaving with the shaving razor is received and analyzed, by the pressure model, to determine a user-specific pressure being applied to the user's skin by the shaving razor when a user shaving stroke is taken. A user-specific electronic recommendation to address at least one feature identifiable within the pixel data is generated and rendered, on a display screen of a user computing device.

  • Patent number: 11861336
    Abstract: Software systems and methods convert algorithms and software codes into time affecting linear pathways (TALPs) via decomposition and convert paired Input/Output (I/O) datasets into TALPs via Value Complexity polynomials. Generated TALPs can be enhanced through merging with other TALPs. TALPs can be grouped by matching the outputs of the TALP-associated prediction polynomials with some set of given criteria into families and cross-families that are useful in a new type of software optimization that allows for output values of grouped TALPs to be modeled, pooled, discretized and optimized to enhance goals or meet user goals.

  • Patent number: 11820531
    Abstract: Features for in-flight recovery of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A towline may be deployed by a host aircraft in-flight to recover an in-flight target UAV. The towline or portion thereof may be oriented nearly vertical. The towline may have a fitting thereon. A capture mechanism on the target UAV may have one or more deployable flaps that engage with the near vertical towline and fitting. The flaps may stow to secure the target aircraft to the towline and fitting. The host aircraft may then retract the towline to pull in the target UAV to the host aircraft using a hoist system having a winch. A latching system located in a pylon of the host aircraft, which may be under a wing, may have a towline connector that engages with and secures the target UAV. The host aircraft may have multiple hoist systems for deployment and/or recovery of multiple target UAV's.

  • Publication number: 20230325319
    Abstract: Methods and systems for existing software applications to automatically take advantage of multicore computer systems outside of the conventional simultaneous processing of multiple applications and without performance problems from cache misses and mismatched task processing times are presented. Unlike other multicore optimization techniques, the present invention uses techniques that are applied to design graphs and work for scaled and standard speedup-based parallel processing. The methods and systems optimize software designs that are attached to code for maximum performance on multicore computer hardware by analyzing and modifying loop structures to produce a general parallel solution, not just simple loop unrolling.
