  • Patent number: 12105776
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for a feature generator that may generate values for a plurality of features based on the feature names The plurality of features may comprise pre-calculated features and dynamic features. While values of the pre-calculated features may have been calculated beforehand, the names of the dynamic features may comprise instructions for calculating the values of the dynamic features. The feature generator may parse, based on a dynamic feature grammar, the names of the dynamic features to determine the instructions for calculating the values of the dynamic features. The instructions may comprise a function token, data tokens, and/or parameter tokens. The feature generator may calculate the dynamic values based on the tokens. The feature generator may be a part of a machine learning based data analyzing system and generate inputs for the data analyzing system.

  • Patent number: 8248420
    Abstract: An animation file player can display animation files with an embedded system graphics application programming interface (graphics API). In an example implementation, an animation file comprises a Flash® animation file such as, a Shockwave Flash® animation file, and the embedded system graphics API comprises an OpenGL®|ES graphics API. The present invention is not intended to be so limited, and other types of animation files and embedded system graphics APIs can be used.

  • Patent number: 8195409
    Abstract: A portable threat detection apparatus and method is disclosed which may comprise a plurality of acoustic emission sensors arranged in a cluster, forming a polygon defining at least two axes of alignment between respective pairs of acoustic emission sensors; a computing device in cooperation with a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions for performing: receiving a first signal produced by a first acoustic emission sensor within a respective pair of acoustic emission sensors, in response to the first acoustic emission sensor detecting an acoustic emission from a source, and receiving a second signal produced by a second acoustic emission sensor within the respective pair of acoustic emission sensors, in response to the second acoustic emission sensor detecting the acoustic emission; determining a cross-correlation factor between the first signal and the second signal; and, determining a bearing to the source based on the cross correlation factor.

  • Publication number: 20110249118
    Abstract: The invention relate to a collision avoidance apparatus (100, 200, 300, 22), system (10) and method (500). The apparatus (100, 200, 300, 22) includes a UHF (Ultra High Frequency) transceiver (102) operable to send and receive UHF signals in electric field (E-field) mode, a VLF (Very Low frequency) transceiver (104) operable to send and receive VLF signals in magnetic field (H-field) mode, and a SHF (Super High Frequency) transceiver (106) operable to send and receive SHF signals in electric field (E-field) mode. The apparatus (100, 200, 300, 22) further includes a control module (110) operable to direct the operation of the respective transceivers (102, 104, 106), thereby to detect receipt of a signal via at least one of the transceivers (102, 104, 106), and determine whether or not an alert is to be issued, based on the nature of the received signal.

  • Patent number: 5486006
    Abstract: The present invention is a question-and-answer format quiz game having a music theme. The quiz game is based upon questions wherein a song title and year are identified and a player is requested to identify the artist that performed the song within a predetermined time period. In addition to temporal categories for the questions, such as by decade, there may be categories for different types of music, such as pop, country, R&B, etc. The temporal and music categories are randomly selected by rolling dice.
