Publication number: 20240412030Abstract: A computer system that customizes an output provided by a pretrained neural network is described. During operation, the computer system may receive a prompt (or input) associated with a first individual. Then, the computer system may access stored information (in memory) associated with a persona associated with a second individual. For example, the second individual may be different from the first individual. However, in some embodiments, the second individual may be the same as the first individual. Note that the stored information may include memories associated with one or more different sessions of interacting with the pretrained neural network than a current session. Moreover, the computer system may modify the prompt based at least in part on the persona associated with the second individual. Next, the computer system may generate, using the pretrained neural network, the output based at least in part on the modified prompt.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2023Publication date: December 12, 2024Applicant: Artificial Intelligence Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Devon Guinn, Robert Meadows

Publication number: 20080319983Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying and resolving conflicting data records are disclosed. The individual data fields of a master record are compared with the corresponding data fields of each source record in a particular data set. For each, one of various matching algorithms is used to assign a field matching score indicating the extent to which the data in the two data fields matches. The particular algorithm used to determine the extent of a match and to assign the corresponding score is dependent on the type of the data field. Once all of the data fields for a particular source record have been analyzed, the sum of the field matching scores is tallied to determine an overall record matching score for that particular source record.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2008Publication date: December 25, 2008Inventor: Robert Meadows

Patent number: 7031469Abstract: The present invention provides optimized enveloping for a public key cryptography system. A sender may reuse a secret key in multiple communications to a recipient without the need to recompute or re-encrypt the secret key. The first time a message is sent to a recipient, the sender generates and encrypts a secret key, then stores the secret key, the encrypted secret key, and associated counter data in a local data store. For subsequent messages to the recipient, the sender determines from the counter data whether the secret key may be reused; if the secret key is reused, the sender updates the counter data. A recipient stores previously received secret keys in a local data store in both encrypted and decrypted form. If an encrypted secret key in a received message matches an entry in the local data store, the recipient uses the previously decrypted secret key to decrypt the message.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2001Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Slam Dunk Networks, Inc.Inventors: Andre Srinivasan, Robert Meadows

Publication number: 20060001697Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a printhead carrier configured for movement along an X-axis. The printhead carrier includes a carrier housing having a first bearing pocket and a second bearing pocket. The first bearing pocket and the second bearing pocket are spaced apart along the X-axis. A Z-axis passes through a central region of the carrier housing. The Z-axis is substantially perpendicular to the X-axis. A first bearing is configured to be received in the first bearing pocket. The first bearing includes a first curved outer surface having a curve that extends in a direction of the X-axis. The curved outer surface is received in the first bearing pocket to facilitate a rotation of the first bearing in relation to the Z-axis of the carrier housing. A second bearing is configured to be received in the second bearing pocket.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2004Publication date: January 5, 2006Inventors: Robert Meadows, Brian Naro, Bryan Scharf, Randal Williamson
