  • Publication number: 20150206067
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for systems, devices and methods relating to a machine learning environment. In some examples, a processor may identify a training distribution of a training data. The processor may identify information about a test distribution of a test data. The processor may identify a coordinate of the training data and the test data. The processor may determine, for the coordinate, differences between the test distribution and the training distribution. The processor may determine weights based on the differences. The weights may be adapted to cause the training distribution to conform to the test distribution when the weights are applied to the training distribution.

    Abstract: An energy efficient cabinet toe kick vent is energy efficient, and provides HVAC ductwork for under-cabinet use wherein the ductwork enters a cabinet cavity and extends to the face of a toe-kick register. The ductwork has an inlet portion, a central body portion, and an outlet portion. The inlet portion is a round tubular member adapted for connection to an existing tubular ductwork. The outlet portion is a generally rectangular opening. The central body portion has two side walls, a top wall, and a bottom wall having an opening to receive the round tubular member. The exiting air is at a 90 degree offset from the incoming air. The bottom wall of the central body portion is at floor level, and the top wall is at a height below that of the lowermost edge of a typical base cabinet.

  • Publication number: 20090316458
    Abstract: The invention presents a structure for the conversion of direct current electric power into alternating current electric power, characterised in that it is simple, highly efficient and minimises the problem of electromagnetic compatibility. The circuit includes, in its first preferred embodiment, six switching elements governed by a command unit, four switches forming an H-bridge (T1, T2, T3, T4) and two auxiliary switches (T5D, T6D), and two auxiliary diodes (Daux1 and Daux2). The elements of the H-bridge switch at grid frequency, whereas T5D and T6D switch at high frequency by means of pulse width modulation (PWM), or other appropriate modulation techniques. The voltage of these auxiliary switching elements (T5D, T6D) is limited topologically to half the direct current input voltage (Vin), thereby reducing switching losses and resulting in a high performance converter.

  • Patent number: 7013670
    Abstract: A portable ice chest used for maintaining its contents in a cooled or frozen state for an extended period of time. The ice chest includes an insulated cover with an inner compartment and an insulated container with a bottom compartment. The cover is adapted to fit airtight upon the top opening of the container. To maintain the contents of the ice chest in a frozen state, a refrigerant coolant such as dry ice is placed in the inner compartment only. To maintain the contents of the ice chest in a refrigerated state, a refrigerant coolant such as dry ice is placed in the bottom compartment only. Additionally, when no dry ice is placed in either compartments, the present invention can be used as a regular ice chest.

  • Patent number: 5975135
    Abstract: A linear turn down valve structure is disclosed, for gaseous fuels. The valve structure can advantageously be produced with aluminum alloys of die-casting grade, by means of a squeeze die-casting process. The valve structure comprises a valve body and a cap having register members to provide a self positioning and assembly of the main components of the valve. This eliminates the possibility of radial and axial misalignment thereof and secures a gas tight connection; a valve plug having passages in cooperation with a cap cam having three steps, to allow the safe switching of the continuous gas flow from maximum to minimum flow positions, as well as a safe turn-off position in a single operation; and a minimum flow control device to allow flow metering in order to permit the burners to operate with a wide variety of commercial gaseous fuels.

  • Patent number: 4857833
    Abstract: A method of determining which of a plurality of electrical devices connected to a node of a circuit under test is causing a failure at that node by causing individual devices to drive the node one device at a time, taking passive voltage measurements at the node at separate times when individual devices are controlled to drive the node, and analyzing measured voltages resulting when different devices are driving the node to identify which is causing the failure.
