  • Publication number: 20250037182
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for progressively training an auto recommendation machine learning model based on differences between customer automobile searching preferences and actual automobile purchasing behavior. Search data indicating a history of auto shopping searches by one or more users may be received. Training data may be generated based on the search data and historical vehicle financing data and used to train a machine learning model. Auto shopping preference information may be received and provided as input to the trained machine learning model, which may output one or more recommended automobiles. After display of those one or more recommended automobiles, the system may receive an indication of an automobile purchased by a user and determine a difference between the automobile purchased by the user and the automobile shopping preference information. Based on that difference, the trained machine learning model may be further trained.

  • Publication number: 20250018988
    Abstract: A utility handcart can include foldable struts to reduce an overall volumetric footprint of the handcart. The struts can be selectively rotated with a pin to fix the struts in either a stowed position or a downward position for supporting wheels during use. The utility handcart can also include an uphill assist mechanism securing the wheels to the struts or engaged with the wheel axles to prevent the wheels from rotating in one direction, for example backward, when parked or pulled up a hill. The uphill assist mechanism can be selectively engaged to either allow for rotation of the wheels in both directions or prevent the backward rotation of the wheels as desired by the user.

  • Publication number: 20250018987
    Abstract: A utility handcart can include a container secured to a lower frame. An adjustable, dual-purpose handle and/or kickstand assembly can be adjusted by a user to act as a kickstand when the handcart is stationary and act as a handle for pushing or pulling the handcart. The handle/kickstand assembly can include arms pivotally secured to arm mounts, which extend forward from the lower frame and upward in front of the container. The handcart can be selectively secured to a hitch mounting attachment with a tapered platform for easy mounting and dismounting from a vehicle hitch receiver. The handcart can include struts rotatably securing wheels to define a large, rectangular ground clearance volume beneath the lower frame and between the wheels.

  • Publication number: 20240020536
    Abstract: A processor architecture and model exploration system for deep learning is provided. A method of improving performance of a processor system and associated software includes selecting a set of performance parameter targets for a processor architecture having a set of functional units and an AI model. The method also includes evaluating performance of the processor architecture and the AI model and adjusting at least one of the functional units of the processor architecture to form a new processor architecture prior to iteratively evaluating the combination of the new processor architecture and the AI model. Further, the method includes repeating the evaluating step and the adjustment step until the performance evaluation of the processor architecture and AI model meets the set of performance parameter targets.
