  • Patent number: 9935478
    Abstract: A power delivery rate from a renewable power source to a load is managed by determining, by processing circuitry, a change in a power generation rate, determining, by the processing circuitry, whether the change in the power generation rate exceeds a limit, and then, adjusting, by control circuitry, a power transfer rate to or from a power storage device, such that the adjusting is sufficient to prevent the power delivery rate from exceeding the limit.

  • Publication number: 20170213156
    Abstract: The multiple independent processes run in an AI engine on its cloud-based platform. The multiple independent processes are configured as an independent process wrapped in its own container so that multiple instances of the same processes can run simultaneously to scale to handle one or more users to perform actions. The actions to solve AI problems can include 1) running multiple training sessions on two or more AI models at the same time, 2) creating two or more AI models at the same time, 3) running a training session on one or more AI models while creating one or more AI models at the same time, 4) deploying and using two or more trained AI models to do predictions on data from one or more data sources, 5) etc. A service handles scaling by dynamically calling in additional computing devices to load on and run additional instances of one or more of the independent processes as needed.

  • Publication number: 20170213155
    Abstract: An AI database hosted on cloud platform is configured to cooperate with a search engine and an AI engine. The AI database stores and indexes trained AI objects and its class of AI objects have searchable criteria. The AI database cooperates with the search engine to utilize search criteria supplied from a user, from either or both 1) via scripted software code and 2) via data put into defined fields of a user interface. The search engine utilizes the search criteria in order for the search engine to retrieve one or more AI data objects that have already been trained as query results. The AI database is coupled to an AI engine to allow any of reuse, reconfigure ability, and recomposition of the one or more trained AI data objects from the AI database into a new trained AI model.

  • Publication number: 20170106959
    Abstract: An electric actuator comprises a housing and an output shaft reciprocatingly received by the housing. There is a screw assembly disposed within the housing and coupled to the output shaft. The screw assembly includes a plurality of annular rollers and a central screw received by the annular rollers. The annular rollers are rotatable about the central screw. There is a motor which includes a stator and a rotor. The rotor has an inner bore which engages the annular rollers. Rotation of the rotor causes the central screw to translate axially relative to the rotor and the output shaft to reciprocate relative to the housing.

  • Patent number: 9580148
    Abstract: A boat hull or other marine structure is made by shaping a plastic foam core and covering it with a plastic outer skin glued in place by adhesive, mechanically fastened, or applied in liquid form. Minimal sawcuts to the foam core ease manufacture. Methods for anchoring fittings, masts, pipes and shade canopies are presented. No-sew sails for the boat have corners made of plastic sheet attached using both adhesive and mechanical fastening. Lateral resistance of the hull is provided by telescoping leeboards. A suite of these boats share the same modular masts and sails. Such boat hulls offer light weight, ease of transport, and unswampable buoyancy.

  • Publication number: 20170035083
    Abstract: A food composition comprising pulverized corn germ and a fat source is described herein. The germ is derived from an isolated germ source that has not been derived from a wet milling process or extracted with organic solvent. The composition may have a paste form, which may be spreadable or flowable. The composition may include a vitamin and/or a mineral supplement, preferably from natural sources. Colorings and flavorings may be added. Cocoa may be added. The composition can be used in place of peanut butter or other spreads made with priority allergens, and thus can be used in institutional settings that have banned peanut and tree nut products. Methods of formulating the composition, as well as uses therefor, such as in confectionery, are described. The composition may be associated with health benefits.

  • Patent number: 8852450
    Abstract: The use of a side stream and residue from the lignocellulose to ethanol process for use in preventing the formation of ice and in melting ice and snow on roadways. The future lignocellulose to ethanol industry will provide a significant proportion of these streams that provide an organic solution that when added to chloride salts of calcium, magnesium and sodium provides an improved environmentally friendly road deicing product with reduced corrosiveness and increased friction. A deicer composition of calcium chloride aqueous solution containing 25-38% by weight calcium chloride mixed up to 50% by volume of hemicellulose hydrolysis side stream can reduce the corrosivity of calcium chloride to 70% less that of a sodium chloride solution.
