  • Patent number: 11574026
    Abstract: A device may transmit questionnaires to a set of client devices, wherein the questionnaires include a set of questions that relate to an internal entity experience attribute and/or an external entity experience attribute. The device may receive a set of questionnaire responses and correlate the set of questionnaire responses with contextual data relating to an entity. The device may process, using a machine learning model trained based on data relating to one or more other entities, the set of questionnaire responses and the contextual data to identify a set of features and a set of feature ranks. The device may select a subset of features based on the set of feature ranks and a set of influence thresholds. The device may generate a set of recommendations associated with the subset of features and communicate with one or more other devices to implement the set of recommendations.

  • Publication number: 20220358325
    Abstract: A system for categorizing images is provided. The system is programmed to store a first training set of images. Each image of the first training set of images is associated with an image category of a plurality of image categories. The system is further programmed to analyze each image of the first training set of images to determine one or more features associated with each of the plurality of image categories and receive a second training set of images. The second training set of images includes one or more errors. The system is also programmed to analyze each image of the second training set of images to determine one or more features associated with an error category and generate a model to identify each of the image categories based on the analysis such that the model includes the error category in the plurality of image categories.

  • Publication number: 20220246408
    Abstract: A ring storage station used for delivering a consumable part to a substrate processing system includes a housing that includes a base plate and a rotating plate disposed over the base plate. An end-effector opening is disposed at a first side of the housing and a service window opening is disposed at a second side of the housing. A set of finger support structures is connected to the rotating plate. Each finger support structure includes a support column and support fingers disposed thereon. At least two of the set of columns have support fingers with index pins to radially align consumable parts when disposed in the ring storage station. In one configuration, consumable parts may be designed to match the rotation angle engagement to ensure catching the angle alignment between ring storage and process module.

  • Patent number: 10762497
    Abstract: A chargeback settlement processing (CSP) computer system for determining a gain or loss in a chargeback transaction is provided, that includes a memory device and a processor in communication with the memory device. The processor is programmed to transmit to a payment card network for settlement at least one chargeback transaction file corresponding to at least one received chargeback transaction, associated with an original transaction settled using a first currency exchange rate. The at least one chargeback transaction file includes a unique file identifier. A reconciliation message received from the payment card network includes at least one settlement amount, determined at a second currency exchange rate, for the at least one chargeback transaction and the unique file identifier. The at least one chargeback transaction file is matched to the at least one settlement amount, using the unique file identifier, to determine whether a net gain or a net loss occurred.
