Publication number: 20240296295Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying attribution of quotations, generated by a large language model (LLM), to a source document are disclosed herein. Upon a request to summarize a source document or process a question that is answerable from a document, an LLM prompt is formed with the request or question along with the content of the source document. The LLM prompt is configured to cause an LLM to generate quotes that are intended to be from the source document. The output of the LLM, including the quotes, is then verified against the source document.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2023Publication date: September 5, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: James Simon RUSSELL, Mary Sugino David PASCH, Jingtian JIANG

Patent number: 9490917Abstract: Apparatus for and method of processing radio frequency signals, the method including: obtaining a signal indicative of a first frequency (e.g. by obtaining a sample of a transmitted signal), the first frequency being a frequency of the transmitted signal; and using the signal indicative of a first frequency, establishing a second frequency depending on the first frequency, the second frequency being a frequency to which to tune a filter for filtering a received signal. An antenna for receiving and/or transmitting a signal may be a co-site antenna with respect to at least one other antenna.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: BAE SYSTEMS PLCInventors: Lawrence Cain, Simon Russell Radford

Publication number: 20160005607Abstract: A method may include providing a substrate having a surface that defines a substrate plane and a substrate feature that extends from the substrate plane; directing an ion beam comprising angled ions to the substrate at a non-zero angle with respect to a perpendicular to the substrate plane, wherein a first portion of the substrate feature is exposed to the ion beam and wherein a second portion of the substrate feature is not exposed to the ion beam; directing molecules of a molecular species to the substrate wherein the molecules of the molecular species cover the substrate feature; and providing a second species to react with the molecular species, wherein selective growth of a layer comprising the molecular species and the second species takes place such that a first thickness of the layer grown on the first portion is different from a second thickness grown on the second portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2014Publication date: January 7, 2016Inventors: Simon Russell, Thomas R. Omstead, Anthony Renau

Patent number: 8822370Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to hydrogenation catalysts, and hydrogenation processes using these catalysts, having particular characteristics, in terms of the amount and type of metal hydrogenation component (or catalytic constituent), as well as the support or substrate. The catalyst compositions, comprising both a noble metal and a lanthanide element on a substantially non-porous substrate, provide advantageous performance characteristics, including conversion, selectivity, and activity stability, as demanded in industrial hydrogenation and selective hydrogenation applications.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Paula L. Bogdan, Valeria Nemeth, Simon Russell Bare

Patent number: 8693626Abstract: Methods are disclosed utilizing synchrotron X-ray microscopy including x-ray fluorescence and x-ray absorption spectra to probe elemental distribution and elemental speciation within a material, and particularly a solid that may have one or more elements distributed on a solid substrate. Representative materials are relatively homogeneous in composition on the macroscale but relatively heterogeneous on the microscale. The analysis of such materials, particularly on a macroscale at which their heterogeneous nature can be observed, provides valuable insights into the relationships or correlations between localized concentrations of elements and/or their species, and concentrations of other components of the materials. Sample preparation methods, involving the use of a reinforcing agent, which are advantageously used in such methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Simon Russell Bare, Shelly D Kelly, Wharton Sinkler, Nan Greenlay

Patent number: 7799729Abstract: In one embodiment, a reforming catalyst can include indium, tin, and a catalytically effective amount of a group VIII element for one or more reforming reactions. Typically, at least about 25%, by mole, of the indium is an In(3+) species based on the total moles of indium after exposure for about 30 minutes in an atmosphere including about 100% hydrogen, by mole, at a temperature of about 565° C. Usually, no more than about 25%, by mole, of the tin is a Sn(4+) species based on the total moles of tin after exposure for about 30 minutes in an atmosphere including about 100% hydrogen, by mole, at a temperature of about 565° C.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2009Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Gregory J.
