Publication number: 20240127331Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a model to be used for evaluating credit and loan applications are provided. The method includes: training a first model by using all features included in a universe of candidate features; measuring a first metric that relates to an accuracy of the first model and a second metric that relates to a disparity of the first model; constructing a graph based on pairwise correlations of the features; clustering the features into feature sets; estimating a respective disparity contribution associated with each feature set; selecting feature sets to be included in a second model; training, the second model; measuring the first metric and the second metric with respect to the second model; and determining whether the second model satisfies a predetermined accuracy level and a predetermined disparity reduction with respect to the first model.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.Inventors: Ivan BRUGERE, Daniele MAGAZZENI, Nicolas MARCHESOTTI, David HEIKE, FengQin ZHAO, Eric WANG, Huai SHU, Mark GABRIEL, Manuela VELOSO, Cecilia TILLI, Sanghamitra DUTTA, Bivor MALLIK, Ade ONIGBANJO

Patent number: 8349003Abstract: A suture locking assembly for use with a heart valve repair device. The suture locking assembly including a rim and a suture band. The rim defines a first flange and a second flange spaced from the first flange. The rim is configured to extend at least partially around a periphery of the heart valve repair device. The suture band is maintained between the first flange and the second flange. The suture locking assembly is configured to securely maintain a suture segment that is pulled from a first position to a second position relative the suture locking assembly, the second position being at least partially defined near an outer periphery of the rim.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2011Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Mark Shu, Chris Coppin, Louis A. Campbell

Patent number: 8276379Abstract: The present application thus describes a solar-thermal power generation plant that includes one or more towers; a plurality of heliostats disposed around each of the one or more towers; a direct solar evaporator mounted at an elevated position on each of the one or more towers, the heliostats being configured to reflect solar radiation toward the direct solar evaporator such that concentrated solar radiation heats a receiving surface on the direct solar evaporator; and a heat engine mounted at an elevated position on each of the one or more towers, attached to the direct solar evaporator, and configured to use the heat from the receiving surface on the direct solar evaporator to generate electricity.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2009Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Thomas M. Logan, Mark M. Meyers, Mark Shu, Thomas J. Frey, Kevin R. Lang, Mark S. Dudzinski

Patent number: 7952232Abstract: Commands are generated for controlling a state of charge of an energy storage device coupled between an energy source and an auxiliary load. Commands are also generated for providing from the energy storage device to the auxiliary load and for using power from the energy storage device for controlling a DC link voltage, energy source torque, grid side power flow, or combinations thereof. Commands may also be generated to provide frequency compatible power to auxiliary loads of the energy source.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2008Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Rajni Kant Burra, Robert William Delmerico, Ralph Teichmann, Abhitap Jain, Mark Shu
