Michael A. Boudreau has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9507767
    Abstract: A parsing method and system. The method includes generating an n-gram model of a domain and computing a tf-idf frequency associated with n-grams of the n-gram model. A list including a frequently occurring group of n-grams based on the tf-idf frequency is generated. The frequently occurring group of n-grams is transmitted to a deep parser component and a deep parse output from the deep parser component is generated. The deep parse output is stored within a cache and a processor verifies if a specified text word sequence of the deep parse output is available in the cache.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110255927
    Abstract: A drill saw includes a motor, a drive shaft rotationally driven by the motor for rotation of the drive shaft about a corresponding drive axis, a transmission cooperating with the drive shaft to convert the rotation of the drive shaft to a driven output. The transmission includes a shuttle member having first and second gears. The shuttle member is slidably mounted for translation between first and second positions. A rotary motion-to-linearly reciprocating, motion converter operatively cooperates with the first gear when the shuttle member is in the first position so that a first driven output drives an output shaft reciprocatingly and linearly along an output axis. A rotary motion-to-rotary motion coupler operatively cooperates with the second gear when the shuttle member is in the second position so that a second driven output drives the output shaft rotationally about the output axis.

  • Patent number: 7877154
    Abstract: A first principles model may be used to simulate a batch process, and the first principles model may be used to configure a multiple-input/multiple-output control routine for controlling the batch process. The first principles model may generate estimates of batch parameters that cannot, or are not, measured during operation of the actual batch process. An example of such a parameter may be a rate of change of a component (e.g., a production rate, a cell growth rate, etc.) of the batch process. The first principles model and the configured multiple-input/multiple-output control routine may be used to facilitate control of the batch process.

  • Publication number: 20070109112
    Abstract: A communication antenna for communications with a near field device using at least one transmitter and receiver pair, wherein the antenna includes a machine body antenna which is electrically isolated from ground and includes an electrically conductive machine frame, and which, when in electrical communication with one transmitter or receiver element of the transmitter and receiver pair, is excited so as to enable communication between the transmitter and receiver pair when the other of the transmitter or receiver elements is in electrical communication with the near field device and mounted within the near field of the machine body antenna without being in contact with the machine body antenna.

  • Publication number: 20040200127
    Abstract: The barbless fishing hook has a shank having a longitudinal axis and a spike at one end, and extending longitudinally along the shank adjacent to the spike, a radially expanded surface extending radially outwardly of the longitudinal axis so as to define, in a first plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, a smoothly rounded generally radial arc devoid of stress concentration causing corners or elongate protrusions and so as to define, in a second plane containing the longitudinal axis, along the intersection of the second plane with the radially expanded surface, a line of intersection smoothly blending the radially expanded surface with the spike at one end of the line of intersection and with the shank at an opposed end of the line of intersection and the distance between the line of intersection and the longitudinal axis, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, increasing smoothly along the shank from the spike to a maximum radial distance where the smoothly rounded generally radial arc sweeps out a
