  • Patent number: 12378610
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a machine learning model may be accessed and used to generate a likelihood score related to a condition. In some embodiments, pre-computed vectors may be derived from a training dataset used to build the machine learning model, and the pre-computed vectors may be used to generate processed data from target data derived from a target sample. The machine learning model may then be used on the processed data to generate the likelihood score related to the condition. As an example, subsets of the training dataset may be randomly selected, and the pre-computed vectors may be derived from the randomly-selected subsets of the training dataset. The pre-computed vectors may be applied to the target data to generate the processed data. In one use case, for example, the target data may be normalized using the pre-computed vectors.

  • Patent number: 12272945
    Abstract: Multi-semiconductor SSPCs that solve bus level problems affecting systems as well as controller level problems affecting individual multi-semiconductor SSPCs are disclosed. Bus level and controller level problems adversely affect multi-semiconductor SSPCs and their associated systems. The disclosed multi-semiconductor SSPCs solve both bus level and controller level problems by implementing controlled rate-change of voltage (dv/dt) ramp-on rate, to ensure that the voltage on the input bus does not collapse when a multi-semiconductor SSPC is commanded closed and that a minimum amount of power is being dissipated evenly across the switching semiconductors.

  • Publication number: 20250012535
    Abstract: A trigger mechanism having a hammer, a trigger member, movable ejector lever, and locking member. The trigger member being forced to the set position by the hammer during rearward pivoting. A locking member is adapted to move between a first position at which the locking member mechanically blocks the trigger member from moving to the released position and a second position at which the locking member does not mechanically block the trigger member allowing the trigger member to be moved to the released position. The locking member is spring biased toward the first position and moved against the spring bias to the second position by contact from the movable ejector lever during forward movement of the bolt carrier as the bolt carrier reaches a substantially in-battery position.

  • Publication number: 20240232976
    Abstract: An online concierge system generates an aggregated lift score for a test feature for the online concierge system. The online concierge presents prioritized items from a set of item groups to two sets of users: a test set and a control set. The online concierge system uses the test feature to present prioritized items to users in the test set, and the online concierge system uses existing functionality to present prioritized items to users in the control set. For each test group, the online concierge system creates holdout subsets out of the test set and the control set. The online concierge system tracks user interactions with items in an item group and computes a group lift score for the item group. The online concierge system generates an aggregated lift score for the test feature based on the group lift scores and presents items to users based on the aggregated lift score.
