  • Publication number: 20240127078
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transferring learning in sensor devices. Historical time-series measurement samples of one or more parameters associated with a biological function being monitored by the sensor device are received and assigned to clusters. Feature data extracted from the historical time-series measurement samples are used to generate cluster-specific source-domain classifiers for each cluster. Unlabeled time-series measurement samples of the one or more parameters associated with the biological function are received. A cluster-identifier is assigned to each unlabeled target-domain sample, the cluster-identifier including information identifying a cluster-specific source-domain classifier associated with the unlabeled target-domain sample.

  • Patent number: 4035694
    Abstract: Metal-clad dielectric sheeting useful in the manufacture of printed circuitry comprising an electrically conductive metallic layer adhered to a nonwoven web that comprises a unique fiber blend compacted and held together by a polymeric binder material. The fiber blend includes heat-resistant fibers (preferably aromatic polyamide fibers) and high-tensile-strength fibers that absorb little moisture (preferably polyester fibers); and the amount of fibers that absorb moisture is held to a low amount.

  • Patent number: 3957253
    Abstract: Apparatus and method are disclosed for continuously handling sodium hydrosulfite for use in textile dyeing including means for receiving the pure dry chemical in semi-bulk returnable containers, for dissolving the same in a caustic solution and for storing the resulting solution in low inventory automatic make-up tanks. The novel resulting solution is stabilized against decomposition and may be metered to specified locations in the textile mill.
