  • Publication number: 20250118057
    Abstract: An unlabelled or partially labelled target dataset is modelled with a machine learning model for classification (or regression). The target dataset is processed by the machine learning model; a subgroup of the target dataset is prepared for presentation to a user for labelling or label verification; label verification or user re-labelling or user labelling of the subgroup is received; and the updated target dataset is re-processed by the machine learning model. User labelling or label verification combined with modelling an unclassified or partially classified target dataset with a machine learning model aims to provide efficient labelling of an unlabelled component of the target dataset.

  • Publication number: 20200180181
    Abstract: A present application relates to a chain management system that includes a chain dispensing unit and/or a chain cutting device or table configured to conveniently store reels of roller chain and/or separate the reels into customized strand lengths while significantly reducing the amount of handling and manual disassembly tooling required. The chain dispensing unit includes a rotatable station carousel capable of holding a plurality of reels, which allows reels of neatly stored roller chain to be stored, moved and/or dispensed using a single control point. Reels of the chain dispensing unit can be cycled to a position from which the user can dispense the roller chain to the chain cutting table where the roller chain can be disassembled into customized strand lengths, and then the unused remainder of the roller chain can be returned to the reel.

  • Patent number: 10065770
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a package with a rigid or semi-rigid container and a polymeric or plastic header with a reclosure, such as a zipper. The rigid or semi-rigid container is typically provided in a stack of flat containers. The header is sealed, glued or otherwise secured to the containers. The container, typically inverted, is filled, and the bottom is formed by folding and sealing the bottom portion of the container.

  • Patent number: 9814775
    Abstract: A composition comprising a high purity cannabinoid, an acid, and a pharmaceutically-acceptable solvent achieves room temperature stability for over 24 months. The acid improves the stability of the composition and the solvent enhances the solubility of the acid, thereby allowing the acid to have an improved stabilizing effect on the highly pure cannabinoid. Preferably, the solvent is an alcohol and, more preferably, the composition contains an oil. A method for making the composition includes combining the cannabinoid and the solvent and evaporating a portion of the solvent, along with adding an acid to the composition, before, during, or after the evaporating step. A method for making and storing the composition includes storing the composition in a manner adapted to maintain its stability. Pharmaceutical dosage forms include a formulated composition, such as having the oil. A method of treating a subject comprises administering to the subject the dosage form.

  • Patent number: 9194842
    Abstract: Thermal Acoustic Imaging (TAI) methods and systems are provided for detecting defects in an object. The TAI system may include a plurality of acoustic wave transceivers (AWTs), which are positioned around the object at different locations, and a broadband frequency signal generator, which is coupled to each of the AWTs. The system may further include an acoustic processor configured to utilize the AWTs to gather acoustic data pertaining to the object, process the acoustic data to generate spectral response data, and then process the spectral response data to determine an optimized setup. The optimized setup may include optimized excitation frequencies and optimized inspection positions for positioning a plurality of infrared imaging devices at different locations around the object. A plurality of infrared imaging devices may then be selectively positioned with respect to the object at the optimized inspection positions and utilized to further inspect the object for defects.
