  • Patent number: 10068185
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are technologies directed to a feature ideator. The feature ideator can initiate a classifier that analyzes a training set of data in a classification process. The feature ideator can generate one or more suggested features relating to errors generated during the classification process. The feature ideator can generate an output to cause the errors to be rendered in a format that provides for an interaction with a user. A user can review the summary of the errors or the individual errors and select one or more features to increase the accuracy of the classifier.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7545929
    Abstract: The ability to securely transmit information between two locations is of paramount importance in today's communication systems. Before the invention of digital transmission methods, analog transmission was commonplace. However, today's communication systems rely almost exclusively on transmitting information digitally. Digital transmission has become commonplace because it provides optimal accuracy and security. However, digital transmission also has drawbacks, for example, increased bandwidth requirements and the loss of information when converting information between the analog and digital domains. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for encrypting analog data while minimizing data loss and conserving bandwidth.

  • Publication number: 20030196864
    Abstract: An oil bath disc clutch structure having a series of floater discs having an annular contact face on each of its sides, and friction discs arranged axially alternately with said floater discs around an axis of rotation within a housing having an exteriorly mounted power transmission element, wherein the floater discs are rotated around the axis by a motor shaft, wherein the friction discs are axially slidably keyed to the housing and are provided on each side with a friction material contact face, wherein the contact faces of the floater and friction discs are brought into locking engagement by a centrifugal acting pressure mechanism in order to rotate the housing and element, and wherein large volume oil discharge slots are provided generally radially in the friction material for assisting in the rapid discharge of oil from between the contact faces of adjacent discs during the clutch engagement process brought on by engine acceleration.

  • Patent number: 4134591
    Abstract: A citizen band radio is provided which can be played by 2 to 5 players. A board is used which has on it a representation of a road map including an illustration of a road system having a plurality of roads. The roads are divided by playing stations, each playing station of which is used to count the places to be moved by the players. The playing stations on the roads are the dividing lines of the road, locations of cities, hazard areas, areas of good reception and the home stations for each of the players. Two decks of cards are provided; namely, a deck of 56 "breaker" cards and 13 "inspection" cards. A simulated citizen band radio is provided for each player having holes which simulate radio channels. The holes in the radio are sized to hold pegs which simulate crystals required to transmit on each of the channels on the simulated radio. A spinner is further provided in the configuration similar to a citizen band radio microphone.
