Patent number: 11935298Abstract: A system and method of predicting a team's formation on a playing surface are disclosed herein. A computing system retrieves one or more sets of event data for a plurality of events. Each set of event data corresponds to a segment of the event. A deep neural network, such as a mixture density network, learns to predict an optimal permutation of players in each segment of the event based on the one or more sets of event data. The deep neural network learns a distribution of players for each segment based on the corresponding event data and optimal permutation of players. The computing system generates a fully trained prediction model based on the learning. The computing system receives target event data corresponding to a target event. The computing system generates, via the trained prediction model, an expected position of each player based on the target event data.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: STATS LLCInventors: Jennifer Hobbs, Sujoy Ganguly, Patrick Joseph Lucey

Patent number: 8074904Abstract: A broadcast spreader includes a directional control assembly that defines a pathway for granular material from a hopper through a discharge port and onto a rotating fan. The directional control assembly includes a first plate that is secured to and adapted for slidable movement with respect to the hopper. The first plate defines an opening therethrough that is substantially in registry with but smaller than the discharge port, thus serving to define a pathway for the granular material from the hopper through the discharge port and onto the fan. The directional control assembly further includes a second plate secured to and adapted for slidable movement with respect to the hopper and the first plate. Movement of the second plate relative to the first plate selectively opens or closes the pathway for the granular material from the hopper through the discharge port and onto the fan.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2008Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Brinly-Hardy CompanyInventor: Patrick Hobbs
