  • Patent number: 11960519
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for classifying data objects. One of the methods includes obtaining data that associates each term in a vocabulary of terms with a respective high-dimensional representation of the term; obtaining classification data for a data object, wherein the classification data includes a respective score for each of a plurality of categories, and wherein each of the categories is associated with a respective category label; computing an aggregate high-dimensional representation for the data object from high-dimensional representations for the category labels associated with the categories and the respective scores; identifying a first term in the vocabulary of terms having a high-dimensional representation that is closest to the aggregate high-dimensional representation; and selecting the first term as a category label for the data object.

  • Publication number: 20240066437
    Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided to select target metal particles from aggregate ore. A feed stream of aggregate is directed along a path and a higher density portion is segregated therefrom. Detectors are arranged in-line and along the flow of the higher density portion. High resolution detection of a target particles within the feed stream triggers ejection of a select portion of the feed stream and target particle as a concentrate and the balance continues to a further phase of detection/ejection. The concentrate is processed in further stages or collected as product. Multiple parallel detector/ejectors across the path can isolate target particles and minimize the ejected gangue portion associated therewith. Dry or hydrodynamic transport of the feed stream is available determined by aggregate characteristics. A compact footprint of the apparatus is achieved with arcuate paths and multi-level conveyance whilst low energy requirements enables use in artisan installations.

  • Patent number: 10496154
    Abstract: An active noise cancelling power supply to perform active noise cancelling of input power with noise to output power. The active noise cancelling power supply having a power transformation device receiving input power and converting the power to a voltage signal with a ripple. The active noise cancelling power supply has a ripple measuring device, which measures the ripple as the voltage signal with a ripple passes through the ripple measuring device producing a ripple signal. A controller with a data storage in communication with a processor, wherein computer instructions in the data storage are configured to instruct the processor to produce a first noise cancellation signal in volts or millivolts out of phase with the ripple signal and inject the first noise cancellation signal on the voltage signal with a ripple at a node forming a clean signal as output power.

  • Patent number: 10355522
    Abstract: A multi-controllable high voltage power supply having a plurality of filters, a high voltage divider, and a processor with memory. The memory contains operating set points. The processor is configured to receive scaled voltage feedback signals from the high voltage divider, compare the scaled voltage feedback signals to the plurality of operating set points in memory, compute and store revised operating set points using the compared scaled voltage feedback signal, use the revised operating set points to simultaneously and automatically regulate output voltage to be within all operating set points, and generate an alert when output conditions exceed any operating set points.

  • Patent number: 10027227
    Abstract: A power supply with digitally compensated circuit having a plurality of integrated circuits. The plurality of integrated circuits has a digitally variable slope controller to adjust charge time of an inductor and voltage distortion and an adjustable voltage generator, which generates a modified voltage set point. The digitally compensated circuit has a comparator, which compares the modified voltage set point to a first feedback and turns off a comparator output signal when first feedback approaches or exceeds the modified voltage set point. An adjustable pulse width modulator generator produces an output voltage. A current monitor receives output voltage and provides a second feedback, which is transferred to the plurality of integrated circuits. An inductor receives output voltage and generates variable output power for a load, utilizing the digitally variable slope controller to reduce oscillation, system disturbances, and subharmonic oscillations over a dynamic voltage input range.
