Patent number: 11862149Abstract: Techniques for decreasing (or eliminating) the possibility of a skill performing an action that is not responsive to a corresponding user input are described. A system may train one or more machine learning models with respect to user inputs, which resulted in incorrect actions being performed by skills, and corresponding user inputs, which resulted in the correct action being performed. The system may use the trained machine learning model(s) to rewrite user inputs that, if not rewritten, may result in incorrect actions being performed. The system may implement the trained machine learning model(s) with respect to ASR output text data to determine if the ASR output text data corresponds (or substantially corresponds) to previous ASR output text data that resulted in an incorrect action being performed.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bigyan Rajbhandari, Praveen Kumar Bodigutla, Zhenxiang Zhou, Karen Catelyn Stabile, Chenlei Guo, Abhinav Sethy, Alireza Roshan Ghias, Pragaash Ponnusamy, Kevin Quinn

Patent number: 8453700Abstract: Continuous motion label transferring apparatus includes a non-stick surface between a peel point and a pinch point. A label unwinder continuously passes a first web along a path towards the pinch point. The first web includes a series of spaced labels having pressure sensitive self-adhesive on a surface to which a liner of release material is releasably attached. As the release liner travels around the peel point, the labels continue to move toward the pinch point, passing over the nonstick surface as they approach the pinch point. A target mover passes a succession of spaced targets through the pinch point adjacent the self-adhesive surface of the labels, so that the labels are individually adhered to the targets. A control system for the label unwinder monitors the target mover, and synchronizes the labels and targets in a desired manner. The distance between the peel point and the pinch point is set so that the labels can be fed continuously into the pinch point in registration with the targets.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2006Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: PowerForward, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Painter, Kevin Quinn

In the illustrative embodiment, the system includes a ramp that is coupled to the vessel in such a way as to permit one translational and three rotational degrees of freedom at the vessel-end of the ramp. When the ramp couples to the stationary platform, the coupling permits no translational and only two rotational degrees of freedom.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2009Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Lily T. Birmingham, Corey A. Fleischer, Alexander C. Boon, Kevin Quinn
