Patent number: 10614106Abstract: Computerized methods are disclosed for automated question generation from source documents through natural language processing, for applications including training and testing. Interleaved selection and transformation phases employ combined semantic-syntactic analysis to progressively refine natural input text into a high density of text fragments having high content value. Non-local semantic content and attributes such as emphasis attributes can be attached to the text fragments. The text fragments are reverse parsed by matching against a precomputed library of combined semantic-syntactic patterns. Once the patterns of each fragment are determined, transformation of fragments into question-answer pairs is performed using question selectors and answer selectors tailored to each pattern. Methods for constructing distractors, both internal and external, are also disclosed. The ecosystem of machine learning components, ontology resources, and process improvement are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Eduworks CorporationInventors: Elaine Kelsey, Robby Jozef Maria Goetschalckx, Ronald Edward Ray, Aaron J.

Patent number: 10423898Abstract: Techniques involving modeling and analysis of operational metrics in transportation industries are disclosed. Representative methods involve defining a set of fuel consumption performance factors having a potential to impact vehicle fuel economy. Fuel consumption performance factors are received, and categorical variables are identified from at least a subset of the fuel consumption performance factors to create one or more categorical groupings. The fuel consumption performance factors associated with at least one of the categorical groupings are processed to identify a hypothetical maximum fuel economy or “baseline” for the at least one of the categorical groupings, and to identify fuel economy deduction coefficients based on the fuel consumption performance factors that adversely impact the hypothetical maximum fuel economy.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2012Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Trimble Navigation LimitedInventors: Thomas S.

Patent number: 10327054Abstract: An extendable speaker system is provided with a base and lid that are connected via a plurality of concentric collapsible hollow bodies such as cylinders. A woofer speaker resides in the base. Mid range or tweeter speakers reside in the lid. The lid is displaced away from the base to expand the speaker system, where the extended cylinders provide an airtight seal between the base and lid forming a woofer speaker enclosure therein. Friction seals between the cylinders, a spring residing within the speaker enclosure, and the airtight speaker enclosure itself provide a collective force sufficient to maintain the speaker system in an extended configuration. A port is opened by depressing a button to vent the enclosure to allow for the speaker system to be collapsed. A locking system is provided to releasably maintain the speaker system in a collapsed configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Clarity Design, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Harrison Lupfer, John Meredith Fox, Roderick Arzaga Milan, Alyssa Taylor Black, Chaney Kiana Lee Countryman, Orlando Crespo, Ronald Edwards Perranoski
