  • Publication number: 20240153256
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining a pretrained image encoder and a training sample comprising a training image and a training text string corresponding to the training image. The method may also include initializing a text encoder in an untrained state, determining, using the pretrained image encoder and based on the training image, a first latent representation of the training image, and determining, using the text encoder and based on the training text string, a second latent representation of the training text string. The method may further include determining a loss value based on the first latent representation and the second latent representation, updating, based on the loss value, one or more parameters of the text encoder while holding fixed parameters of the pretrained image encoder, and outputting the text encoder in a trained state.

  • Patent number: 11679389
    Abstract: A retainer assembly for securing a mantle to a mainshaft of a gyratory crusher. The retainer assembly includes a headnut and a burn ring that are joined to each other prior to installation. The headnut includes a first and a second series of bores that each extend though the annular headnut. A series of jacking bolts are installed in the second series of bores and a series of connector are installed in the first series of bores. The combination of the headnut and burn ring are installed on the mainshaft. Once in place, the connectors are removed and a series of cylinders are positioned in the first series of bores. The cylinders are pressurized to create a gap between the headnut and the burn ring. The series of jacking bolts are rotated to maintain the gap and one or more shims can be positioned in the gap. The cylinder are removed and a headnut cover is installed to protect the headnut. During removal of the headnut, the cylinders can be reinstalled and pressurized.
