  • Publication number: 20250005285
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method is executed using processors of a computer system, and includes accessing stored corpus data and tokenizing the corpus data into sequences of tokens; based on matching the sequences of tokens to a stored part-of-speech (POS) dictionary, generating a plurality of POS sequences; and accessing a first treebank data set and storing a plurality of parses from the first treebank data set in a tree data structure in a memory of the computing system. For each POS sequence, the method further includes, using the tree data structure, identifying candidate parses that matches that POS sequence; based on a stored lexical database, selecting a sentence corresponding to one candidate parse that is semantically similar to that POS sequence; substituting, in the one candidate parse, words from that POS sequence, to form an updated parse; and storing the updated parse in a second treebank data set.

  • Publication number: 20240104294
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the disclosure provides a computer-implemented method, comprising receiving, by a computer system, electronic digital data representing a first text sequence in a first language, the first text sequence comprising unstructured natural language text; by one or more machine-learning models of the computer system, determining a score corresponding to the first text sequence, the score being determined by one or more rule-based filters and indicating one or more predicted tones; determining whether to modify the first text sequence based on the score of the first text sequence; in response to a determination to modify the first text sequence, modifying the first text sequence, the modifying comprising replacement of at least one or more words of the first text sequence to result in creating and digitally storing a second text sequence; and transmitting a graphical control element indicative of a tone associated with the second text sequence for display.

  • Publication number: 20240001987
    Abstract: A vehicle vibration control system (VCS) includes a vehicle having at least an engine, a transmission, a frame, a steering column with a steering wheel attached, a passenger cabin, and a controller area network (CAN) bus. The vibration and noise in the cabin and in or around steering column are bothersome to passengers in the passenger cabin. Linear force generators (LFGs) are used to control the noise and vibration in or around the steering column and/or steering wheel. Circular force generators (CFGs) are used to control noise and vibration in the passenger cabin. Sensors are used to measure the noise and vibration.

  • Patent number: 11808318
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for active vibration control using circular force generators. In one aspect, a vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a cabin, an engine, and a number of vibration control devices mounted on the vehicle frame. Each vibration device includes a circular force generator comprising at least one mass and at least one motor configured to rotate the mass. The vibration control devices are configured to perform active vibration control to reduce noise and/or vibration within the cabin resulting from the engine deactivating a subset of cylinders in operation.

  • Publication number: 20230311733
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame. A body is coupled with the frame and defines a passenger cabin therein. The body has a plurality of interior sensors and a plurality of exterior sensors. A plurality of seating positions are within the passenger cabin. Each seating position has a plurality of occupant touch points. A plurality of force generators are positioned proximate the occupant touch points. A controller is in communication with the plurality of interior sensors, the plurality of exterior sensors and the plurality of force generators. The controller operates the plurality of force generators in response to sensed feedback from at least one sensor of the plurality of interior sensors and the plurality of exterior sensors.

  • Publication number: 20210356012
    Abstract: A vehicle active vibration control (AVC) system includes a vehicle having at least an engine, a transmission, a controller area network (CAN) bus, a frame, and a cabin. The vibration control devices (120) are distributed about the frame, with each device including a circular force generator (CFG) (122). At least one sensor is positioned on the frame to detect and measure a noise and/or vibration within the cabin. Each sensor creates an electronic data signal and electrically communicates with a corresponding vibration control device. Each vibration control device receives an electronic data signal from a corresponding sensor and vehicle data from the CAN bus. Each vibration control device processes the electronic data signal and the vehicle data. The CFG of each vibration control device generates a vibration canceling force having a magnitude and phase that attenuates noise and/or vibration within the cabin.

  • Patent number: 8296232
    Abstract: Methods and systems for anti money laundering screening are provided. A risk score and a first validation code is determined based on information related to a funds transfer transaction. The first validation code is associated with the risk score. Thereafter, a second validation code is calculated and compared with the first validation code. The risk score and the validation score are included in a payment authorization message sent to a payment processing network. The payment processing network extracts the validation code and communicates the payment authorization message including the risk score to a receiving financial institution. The receiving financial entity accepts or denies the incoming funds transfer based on the risk score included in the payment authorization message.

  • Patent number: 8266031
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to facilitate the sharing of account features. In one aspect, a system includes a transaction handler to process transactions and a data warehouse to record the transactions and store account data identifying account features of separate accounts, such as a second account having a feature and a first account without this feature. Account holders of the first and second accounts are in a same household and thus, in accordance with a set of rules, eligible to share the account features. A portal is configured to receive a request identifying the first account and to determine whether a transaction initiated in the first account and qualified for a benefit of the account feature is entitled to the benefit; and if so, a notification engine is to transmit a notification message to an account holder of the first account.
