  • Patent number: 11238228
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure can comprise systems and methods for creating and modifying named entity recognition models. The system can use two or more existing named entity recognition models to output responses to natural language queries for which the models have not yet been trained. When the output from the two or more models match, the query and the resulting output can be stored as training data for a new named entity recognition model. If the output from the two or models do not match, the query and the outputs can be stored in an exceptions file for additional review. In some embodiments, the system can comprise one or more processors and a display for providing a user interface (UI).

  • Publication number: 20200219368
    Abstract: I am moved by the Holy Spirit so that customers and banks may prosper. It is to prevent thieves from stealing pin numbers at ATM machines at banks inside and outside of the banks. The curtain hides the pin numbers at the ATM keypad. My invention would be new and would save customers and banks money. Also, it would be new to place a Bible quote and painting on the back of a room darkening curtain at the bank if the banks allow.

  • Patent number: 9287706
    Abstract: A method and implementing computer system are provided in which a smart power strip is controlled by a master device which is also plugged-into the power strip. In an exemplary implementation, a computer or PC operates as a master device and a direct line of communication from the computer allows the OS to make a decision based on settings whether or not to power on or off individual power outlets on the power strip used in common by the computer and various peripheral devices. Thus, only selected peripheral devices are powered-on along with the computer when the computer or other master device is powered-on at a common power strip.

  • Publication number: 20150125846
    Abstract: A rollable writing surface is provided that provides a user with a mobile whiteboard surface upon which a dry erase marker can be used to create written signs or to provide a personal writing surface. The writing surface comprises a backside layer of elastomeric material, preferably a rubberized material that is biased to remain flat, while thereover is a whiteboard substrate material that forms the writing surface. Over the substrate layer is a dry erase coating that is disposed along the exposed outer surface of substrate layer. The dry erase coating is substantially non-porous and supports dry erase markings without staining or permanently supporting the ink. The flexibility of the assembly allows the same to be rolled into a compact form and deployed, whereafter the assembly lies substantially flat for use as a writing surface using dry erase markers.
