Search engine training apparatus and method and search engine trained using the apparatus and method
Patent number: 11921789Abstract: An apparatus and method for training a search engine generates synthetic search arguments and target information that are provided to the search engine as training. A search argument simulator ingests product information and historical interaction data, determines relevant descriptors, creates compound descriptors, and creates candidate search arguments. A trainer checks the candidates against historical search arguments, identifies similar search arguments and determines likely search arguments that are used for training. An evaluator monitors search engine responses and triggers retraining of the search engine.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: MCMASTER-CARR SUPPLY COMPANYInventors: Ben C. Callanta, Deric A. Bertrand, Gracelyn R. Newhouse, John N. Rosensweig, Bina M. Vasavda, Ross P. Kelly, Larry G. Kirby, Matthew T. Hayden, Emily R. Rapport -
Publication number: 20240051122Abstract: Systems and methods for determining movement of a robot about an environment are provided. A computing system of the robot (i) receives information including a navigation target for the robot and a kinematic state of the robot; (ii) determines, based on the information and a trajectory target for the robot, a retargeted trajectory for the robot; (iii) determines, based on the retargeted trajectory, a centroidal trajectory for the robot and a kinematic trajectory for the robot consistent with the centroidal trajectory; and (iv) determines, based on the centroidal trajectory and the kinematic trajectory, a set of vectors having a vector for each of one or more joints of the robot.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: Boston Dynamics, Inc.Inventors: Robin Deits, Scott Kuindersma, Matthew P. Kelly, Twan Koolen, Yeuhi Abe, Benjamin Stephens

Patent number: 9579105Abstract: A sagittal saw includes a blade and an actuator configured to drive the blade. The blade includes a first end, a second end opposed to the first end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the first end and second end. The blade first end extends transverse to the longitudinal axis, and its movement defines a blade path. The blade path comprises a closed plane curve consisting of two loops meeting at a node ie, a figure-eight, whereby the blade path crosses over itself. The actuator includes a gear assembly configured to cyclically drive the blade so that the blade path includes multiple impulsive thrusts along the longitudinal axis in each blade path cycle. In addition, the blade cuts the work piece in both a first direction and a second direction in each blade cycle, the second direction opposed to the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2012Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: TUFTS UNIVERSITYInventors: Matthew P. Kelly, Timothy B. Lannin, Thomas P. James

Patent number: 8982688Abstract: A method and system for detecting congestion in a network of nodes, abating the network congestion, and identifying the cause of the network congestion is provided. A congestion detection system may comprise a detection system, an abatement system, and a causation system. The detection system monitors the performance of network components such as the network interface controllers and tiles of routers to determine whether the network is congested such that a delay in delivering packets becomes unacceptable. Upon detecting that the network is congested, an abatement system abates the congestion by limiting the rate at which packets are injected into the network from the nodes. Upon detecting that the network is congested, a causation system may identify the job that is executing on a node that is the cause of the network congestion.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2011Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Cray IncInventors: Edwin L. Froese, Christopher B. Johns, Aaron F. Godfrey, Laurence S. Kaplan, Matthew P. Kelly, Brent T. Shields
