  • Publication number: 20250094718
    Abstract: A text from a predetermined domain is taken and converted to canonical named entities based on an established taxonomy. Using a shared machine learning encoder model, contextual embeddings for these named entities are produced. These embeddings are then fed into a domain-specific scoring model related to the text's domain. This model ranks the embeddings based on relevance. The derived relevance scores, along with the entities, are sent to another system for further tasks. For instance, a recommendation system might use these scores to suggest relevant named entities.

  • Publication number: 20230280257
    Abstract: A system is described. The system includes a first region and a second region. The first region is configured to retain particles and has a first characteristic dimension. The second region is communicatively coupled with the first region such that the particles can travel between the first region and the second region. The second region has a second characteristic dimension of not larger than twice a characteristic length for the particles. The second region has a barrier that offers resistance to or interruption in particle movement.

  • Publication number: 20230278263
    Abstract: The disclosure features systems, devices, and methods of sectioned compaction of composite materials for large parts. An example system includes a mold assembly, including a bottom wall, one or more side walls coupled to the bottom wall, one or more pistons, wherein the bottom wall, the one or more side walls, and the one or more pistons at least partially define a mold cavity, and wherein each of the one or more pistons are independently movable to reduce the volume of the mold cavity; and a plurality of fasteners configured to selectively immobilize the one or more pistons; and a compression actuator configured to sequentially advance the pistons from an initial position to an actuated position to compress a composite material within the mold cavity.

  • Publication number: 20230166549
    Abstract: The invention relates to a non-contact printing method and system as well as to a printed sensor. The method includes the steps of disposing a substrate (130) between a discharge electrode (110) and a printing material (140) such that the substrate (130) is spaced apart from the printing material (140); and activating the discharge electrode (110) to generate an electric field between the substrate (130) and the printing material (140), wherein the printing material (140) moves onto a surface (132) of the substrate (130) when the electric field attracts the printing material (140) to the surface (132) of the substrate (130). A corresponding printing system and printed sensor are also provided.
