  • Publication number: 20250342311
    Abstract: System and method for generating custom content and reports about a subject based on user input received from a human user and potentially from one or more other sources related to the subject is disclosed. The system and method dynamically prompt one or more deep learning models using the user input to generate custom content, which is then incorporated into a draft report. The prompts may potentially incorporate an author persona characterizing a user, which may include an entity user, and in some embodiments the author persona may have been previously generated based on prior publications or editing. In some embodiments, individualized data may be obscured and confounding data may be included when prompting the one or more deep learning models. An editor may edit the draft report, including making refinements to the custom content, enabling the creation of tailored reports that reflect the user's intent and preferences.

  • Patent number: 9873566
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium containing instructions for operating a conveyor. One method includes receiving, by a controller, a signal from each of a plurality of substations. Each of the plurality of substations provides power to a motor drive unit driving a conveyor belt of the conveyor. The signal received by the controller indicates whether an isolation switch associated with each substation has been manually operated. The method also includes, when the signal received from one of the plurality of substations indicates that the isolation switch associated with the one of the plurality of substations has been manually operated, transmitting, by the controller, a signal to each of the plurality of substations, the signal instructing each of the plurality of substations to isolate the motor drive unit from a power source.

  • Publication number: 20060187000
    Abstract: An apparatus for fighting a fire comprises a suspendible container (10) having a perforated lower surface (12) each of whose perforations (16) is closed by a heat-sensitive membrane (14) which is capable of rupture at an elevated temperature. The container contains a fire retardant material which is released upon rupture of the membrane. The apparatus further includes an electric heater (22) adjacent the membrane and a smoke detector (24) controlling the heater such that upon the detection of smoke the heater is switched on to rupture the membrane. A second embodiment has at least one further heat-sensitive membrane embedded in the fire retardant material above the first membrane such that a respective layer of fire retardant material lies above each membrane.

  • Patent number: 6810302
    Abstract: A method of predicting the cutting speed for machining of titanium alloy comprising the steps of obtaining a first transfer function for a tool system, obtaining a second transfer function for a workpiece system, selecting from the first transfer function a first flexible mode, selecting from the second transfer function a second flexible mode, defining a natural frequency of the first flexible mode and the second flexible mode, calculating a tooth passing frequency using the defined natural frequency, accepting the calculated tooth passing frequency if the calculated tooth passing frequency differs from a second harmonic of a combined system formed of the tool system and the workpiece system and from at least one natural frequency corresponding to the tool system and the workpiece system, calculating a stable spindle speed, defining a cut depth using the calculated spindle speed.

  • Patent number: 4406161
    Abstract: An air mass flow measuring system for measuring flow into an internal combustion engine comprises a throttle angle transducer and further transducers measuring ambient air temperature and pressure as well as the pressure drop across the throttle valve. The signals from these transducers are supplied to calculating circuit which carries out the calculation M=K.sqroot.P.multidot..DELTA.P/T. The values of the coefficient K used in this calculation are derived from an empirically programmed read only memory incorporated in the calculating circuit, such memory storing empirically determined values of K for each combination of a plurality of values of throttle angle and a plurality of values of .sqroot. P.multidot..DELTA.P/T.
