  • Publication number: 20210330009
    Abstract: An article or garment comprising a micro hook-and-loop closure system is provided herein. The article comprises at least one extremity-covering portion. The distal end of the extremity-covering portion comprises a first textile at an outer-facing surface and a second textile at an inner-facing surface. The second textile includes micro hook or micro loop materials that releasably mate with complementary micro hook or micro loop materials of the first textile in order to place the micro hook-and-loop closure system in a closed configuration. The placement, size, and shape of each of the first and second textiles, as extending from a distal end toward a proximal end of the article, enable the article or garment to be expediently and comfortably donned and doffed.

  • Publication number: 20210204626
    Abstract: The technology described herein generally relates to a garment that is insulating yet light weight, which may provide protection from the elements without weighing down the wearer. The garment in accordance with the technology described herein comprises a layer of thermally insulating sheet material having one or more voided portions in place of conventional down or other synthetic thermally insulating materials. The one or more voided portions allow the thermal insulation to be light weight and adequately protective in cooler/cold weather, without adding motion hindering bulk to the garment.

  • Publication number: 20210137756
    Abstract: A convertible wheelchair system, between a wheelchair configuration and an all-terrain configuration, is provided. Embodiments include a central frame aligned along a central longitudinal axis, the central frame having a front and back bar parallel to each other and orthogonal to the central longitudinal axis, paired side bars aligned with the central longitudinal axis, and paired wheel cages, aligned with the central longitudinal axis and attached to the front and back bars, each wheel cage supporting an axle and a wheel mounted thereon. The system further includes a forward beam alignable with the central longitudinal axis, configured to support a forward wheel, and reversibly attached to the front bar. The convertible wheelchair is in the all-terrain configuration when the forward beam is attached to the frame, and the wheelchair configuration when the forward beam is detached from the frame, the central frame thereby standing without the forward beam.

  • Publication number: 20210133162
    Abstract: A method for automatically generating documentation for an artificial intelligence model includes receiving, by a computing device, an artificial intelligence model. The computing device accesses a model facts policy that indicates data to be collected for artificial intelligence models. The computing device collects artificial intelligence model facts regarding the artificial intelligence model according to the model facts policy. The computing device accesses a factsheet template. The factsheet template provides a schema for an artificial intelligence model factsheet for the artificial intelligence model. The computing device populates the artificial intelligence model factsheet using the factsheet template with the artificial intelligence model facts related to the artificial intelligence model.

  • Patent number: 10791776
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an apparel system for an upper torso of a wearer. The apparel system may comprise a first layer of a breathable fabric and a water resistant second layer. The second layer may be stowed in a pocket located on the front of the first layer. The second layer may be transitioned from within the pocket to cover at least a portion of the first layer to protect the wearer from external conditions. In some embodiments, the second layer may be affixed to the first layer at an area within the pocket.

  • Patent number: 10795938
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for correcting a spelling of a search term includes extracting search information from a clickstream database that includes search keywords received by a search engine. A server builds a database of acceptable terms that includes search keywords from the clickstream database that match a product in a product database. The server builds a database of correctable terms that include search keywords from the clickstream database that do not match a product in the product database. A plurality of spell correction candidates are identified based on the search keywords in the database of correctable terms. A confidence value for each of the plurality of spell correction candidates is determined. The spell correction candidate having a relatively highest confidence value among the confidence values for the plurality of spell correction candidates is stored in the database of correctable terms.

  • Publication number: 20200272938
    Abstract: A method optimizes a training of a machine learning system. A conflict detection system discovers a conflict between a first training data and a second training data for a machine learning system, where the first training data and the second training data are ground truths that describe a same type of entity, and where the first training data and the second training data have different labels. In response to discovering the conflict between the first training data and the second training data for the machine learning system, an oracle adjusts the different labels of the first training data and the second training data. The machine learning system is then trained using the first training data and the second training data with the adjusted labels.

  • Patent number: 10752110
    Abstract: A refrigeration system can include an electrical generator coupled to a mechanical interface, the mechanical interface configured to transfer mechanical energy from a vehicle to the electrical generator, and a control module connected to the electrical generator via electrical wiring. The refrigeration system can also include an electrically-driven refrigeration unit coupled to the control module, and a battery coupled to the control module via electrical wiring. The control module can be adapted to provide electrical power to the refrigeration unit from the electrical generator or the battery and is further adapted to charge the battery with electrical energy not needed for operating the refrigeration unit.

  • Patent number: 10171283
    Abstract: Running a global production rule on data distributed over a plurality of machines may comprise receiving a local production rule that can run on each of the plurality of machines to jointly accomplish a global computation specified by the global production rule. The local production rule may be deployed to each of the plurality of machines, each of which stores a portion of the data and runs an instance of a rules engine that can run the local production rule. The plurality of machines are enabled to communicate intermediate data produced by the instance of the rules engine running the local production rule on said each of the machines. Coordinating between the plurality of machines is enabled to synchronize one or more local computations performed locally according to the local production rule on said each machine.
