  • Patent number: 11923663
    Abstract: In the spark plug heat rating measurement method and system based on spark discharge current active heating, the spark plug is installed in a constant-temperature water jacket cooling chamber with a specific torque. A constant spark discharge current control module is connected to the high-voltage terminal of the spark plug, to provide real-time controlled discharge current to heat up the high-voltage central electrode of the spark plug. During the spark discharge process, the temperature change of the high-voltage central electrode and the surrounding ceramic insulator are measured by a temperature detection module and used to determine the heat rating of the spark plug. By real time adjusting the discharge current level of the spark plug, or providing a same amount of spark energy to the spark gap, the heat ratings of spark plugs with different ceramic insulation structures can be evaluated through the temperature changes during discharge or after discharge.

  • Patent number: 11886523
    Abstract: Techniques for training and/or using a machine learning (ML) algorithm to generate search results are disclosed. An ML algorithm is configured (i) to identify a search starting event and a search terminating event for a search session, where the search session includes multiple navigations across multiple different webpages, and (ii) to derive a dynamic score for the search session, where the dynamic score reflects whether the search session successfully identified an end result that was initially unknown at a time when the search starting event occurred. The trained ML algorithm can then be used during later search sessions to promote better search results and help users identify end targets or results in a faster and more intuitive manner.

  • Patent number: 11750479
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing customer encountered issue resolution are disclosed. To manage the customer encountered issue resolution, tickets for the customer encountered issues may be managed to reduce suffering and reduce the rate of ticket churn. To do so, customer pain levels may be identified and used to prioritize resource deployment for ticket resolution. The tickets may be classified into groups for resolution via automated or human-assisted processes, which may be limited in capacity. To ascertain the pain levels of the customers, communications from the customers may be emotionally analyzed to identify emotions present in the customers. The identified emotions may be used to identify whether performed remediation processes for resolving the customer encountered issues were successful, and to what extent they were successful.
