  • Patent number: 12566982
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for an intelligent assistant (e.g., a chatbot) that can be used to enable a user to generate a machine learning system. Techniques can be used to automatically generate a machine learning system to assist a user. In some cases, the user may not be a software developer and may have little or no experience in either machine learning techniques or software programming. In some embodiments, a user can interact with an intelligent assistant. The interaction can be aural, textual, or through a graphical user interface. The chatbot can translate natural language inputs into a structural representation of a machine learning solution using an ontology. In this way, a user can work with artificial intelligence without being a data scientist to develop, train, refine, and compile machine learning models as stand-alone executable code.

  • Patent number: 12136526
    Abstract: A circuit breaking apparatus comprises a circuit breaker, a motor drive system, and a controller. The circuit breaker is electrically connectable to a power line. The motor drive system is mechanically coupled to the circuit breaker and configured to operate the circuit breaker such as to perform a movement including at least an opening movement from a closed position to an open position, thereby electrically interrupting the power line. The controller includes a model of at least one of the motor drive system and the circuit breaker. The controller is configured to receive reference travel curve information of the movement; generate actuator information from the reference travel curve information based on the model; and output the actuator information.

  • Publication number: 20230347533
    Abstract: A bolt cutter comprising a bolt cutting head and a pair of handles. The bolt cutting head includes a pair of blades and a pair of links. Each link is coupled to one of the pair of blades. Each of the handles defines a longitudinal axis and includes a handle portion and a grip sleeve portion. The handle portion is coupled to one of the pair of links, and the handle portion has an outer surface with a tip projecting therefrom. The grip sleeve portion surrounds the handle portion and is movable along the handle axis of the corresponding handle between a retracted position and an extended position to adjust a length of the corresponding handle. The grip sleeve portion includes an inner surface having a slot provided thereon. The slot selectively receives the tip to adjust the length.

  • Patent number: 8485073
    Abstract: A viper crescent wrench device for holding a work piece is provided. Upon squeezing a second handle toward a first handle, a first pawl and a second pawl move an adjusting bar toward the first handle thereby moving a second jaw portion toward a first jaw portion. Upon releasing the second handle, the first pawl and the second pawl releasably lock into place and the second handle readjusts relative to the first pawl thereby repositioning to do the same action again when the second handle is squeezed again until the work piece is secured between the first jaw portion and the second jaw portion. Upon rotation of a release mechanism, toothed notches are rotated out of contact with the first pawl and the second pawl such that the second jaw portion moves away from the first jaw portion under bias of a first spring thereby releasing the work piece.

  • Patent number: 4714915
    Abstract: A portable monitoring system for detecting a radiated electrostatic field and producing an audible warning when the detected field exceeds a selected value is characterized by a switching device which can be used to reset the threshold warning level and which is not affected by the hand proximity effect. An alarm is sounded when a signal corresponding to the detected field exceeds a value which is stored. The stored value can be reset by a manually operated switching circuit including a delay device operable to delay the storage of a reference level corresponding to the intensity of the field currently detected.

  • Patent number: 4520318
    Abstract: An electric field strength indicator for use with high voltage conductors comprises a capacitive probe mounted within a tubular shield having an insulating spacer at one end for locating the unit with respect to a conductor under test. The probe is electrically coupled to a signalling circuit and is movable axially within the shield to a position at which a threshold response is obtained. Such position, which denotes the conductor voltage, is read on a scale provided. Because of the shield the device is directional, the probe being shielded from neighboring conductors.
