  • Publication number: 20240095549
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for predictive analysis of transaction data using machine learning. A server computing device trains a plurality of machine learning models using historical transaction data for a set of entities as input to predict a likelihood of future transaction activity for each of the entities, each machine learning model trained on a different target transaction variable. The server computing device executes each of the plurality of machine learning models to generate, for each entity, a predicted likelihood value for a future transaction associated with the entity and each of the target transaction variables. The server computing device transmits the predicted likelihood values for each entity to a remote computing device for display.

  • Publication number: 20240034251
    Abstract: The disclosed technology includes an automobile interior with enhanced acoustics and thermal resistance. In one embodiment, the automobile interior includes a sound-absorbing material coupled to an interior automobile surface adjacent to an automobile speaker. The sound-absorbing material includes an absorptive surface and a backing. The absorptive surface faces towards the automobile speaker to absorb sound waves emitted from a rear side of the automobile speaker and the backing blocks the sound waves from escaping a speaker compartment into a main cabin of the automobile, thereby mitigating echo and back wave frequency cancellation in the automobile interior. In some embodiments, the acoustically enhanced automobile interior may further include a second acoustical material coupled to the interior automobile surface and positioned between the sound-absorbing material and the interior automobile surface.

  • Patent number: 10579115
    Abstract: A thermal management assembly in accordance with one example may include a first thermal management member that includes a first main region that is continuous, a first connection region that is discontinuous, and a first top side. The thermal management assembly may also include a second thermal management member that includes a second main region, a second connection region, and a second top side. The second main region and the second connection region are continuous. The thermal management assembly may further include a connection member to couple the first thermal management member and the second thermal management member to a memory device via the first connection region and the second connection region. The first top side and the second top side are substantially level with a top side of the memory device in a horizontal direction when the first thermal management member and the second thermal management member are coupled to the memory device.

  • Patent number: 9849403
    Abstract: A fractionation tray includes a manway unit positioned to cover a manway opening in the fractionation tray. The manway opening is framed by one or more fractionation tray panels having apertures therethrough adjacent to the manway opening. The manway unit includes a first manway panel having: perforations for the passage of fluid; first and second opposing side edges and two opposing end edges; and finger elements extending from the second side edge. The finger elements of the second side edge are received within the apertures adjacent to a first side of the manway opening. The manway unit is configured to open and close by rotation of the finger elements within the apertures.

  • Patent number: 9336669
    Abstract: The system in at least one embodiment includes a tamper evident specimen sample locking device that in a further embodiment includes an embedded data storage mechanism. A method for using the system in at least one embodiment allows for efficiently and securely creating, maintaining, identifying, tracking, and controlling inventories (either prospective or retrospective) of biological and chemical sample containers and their contents, while eliminating potential loss and degradation associated with handling the samples. The system in at least one embodiment includes a sample container tray or cryogenic box having one or more integrated RFID readers within an associated smart lid that sense RFIDs associated with the individual samples thereby eliminating the need to remove, visually inspect, and/or handle the samples.
