  • Publication number: 20240163298
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automated threat detection. For example, the system receives various types of unlabeled data and determines, through an unsupervised machine learning model, a label for the data. The labels are provided to a supervised machine learning model during a first training process. When new data is received, the supervised machine learning model is executed during an inference process to cluster the new data in accordance with the labels that were determined by the unsupervised machine learning model. In some examples, a label audit process may be implemented to update the cluster/output of the supervised machine learning model. The updated labels from the label audit process may be provided back to the supervised machine learning model during a second training process. In other words, the system may combine the unsupervised machine learning model with a supervised machine learning model to perform automated threat detection.

  • Patent number: 10695727
    Abstract: The present invention relates, inter alia, to a process for enriching a hydrocarbon fuel for use in an internal combustion engine, the process comprising: (i) contacting a hydrocarbon fuel with a gas stream containing hydrogen gas such that at least some of the hydrogen gas is introduced into the hydrocarbon fuel to produce an enriched hydrocarbon fuel; and optionally (ii) delivering the enriched hydrocarbon fuel to an internal combustion engine. The present invention further provides a device for use in the process.

  • Patent number: 7522972
    Abstract: An oxygen vending machine receives payment from a user. The payment is validated for appropriateness and sufficiency. If a valid payment is made, then concentrated oxygen is provided to a nipple or coupling located in an accessible place. In addition, a packaged breathing device, such as a nasal cannula, is dispensed. The user retrieves the packaged nasal device and uses it to direct the concentrated oxygen from the nipple into the user's nose or mouth. The user may select the particular breathing device which is to be dispensed. The flow of concentrated oxygen to the nipple is ceased after a predetermined period of time has passed.

  • Publication number: 20070015560
    Abstract: An organized game of baseball is carried out under traditional rules of play modified such that a player at bat who is given a base-on-balls can choose to either take the base or remain at bat for additional pitches while a replacement runner takes the base. Replacement runners can be selected in a predetermined line-up order or in random order from the bench or from the active roster. Optionally, certain restrictions may be provided to control or limit how often replacement runners can be used by a team in a given inning and/or game.
