Publication number: 20240127075Abstract: Machine learning is a process that learns a model from a given dataset, where the model can then be used to make a prediction about new data. In order to reduce the costs associated with collecting and labeling real world datasets for use in training the model, computer processes can synthetically generate datasets which simulate real world data. The present disclosure improves the effectiveness of such synthetic datasets for training machine learning models used in real world applications, in particular by generating a synthetic dataset that is specifically targeted to a specified downstream task (e.g. a particular computer vision task, a particular natural language processing task, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Shalini De Mello, Christian Jacobsen, Xunlei Wu, Stephen Tyree, Alice Li, Wonmin Byeon, Shangru Li

Patent number: 9296341Abstract: A console assembly includes a console assembly housing with a member disposed within a wall thereof that is rotatable between a plurality of positions. The member includes a passenger accessible feature that is not accessible when the member is in a first, closed position and is accessible when the member is placed in the second, open position. The member includes two member protrusions that engage with corresponding console protrusions such that the member is slidably guided through a plurality of positions. The protrusions may have differing centers of rotation making the member rotate and project simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Francis Raymond Gillis, Stephen Jacobsen, Francesco DiDato

Patent number: 9199579Abstract: A motor vehicle console includes a housing having a pair of side panels that define a storage bin having an opening and an upper panel that extends between the pair of side panels adjacent to the storage bin opening. A rigid door is supported on the housing for movement between a closed position that prevents access to the bin and an opened position that permits access to the bin. The rigid door is flush with the panel when in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2014Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Francis Raymond Gillis, Steven Mousigian, Martin Drumb, Stephen Jacobsen

Publication number: 20080110329Abstract: The present invention describes, generally, a method and system for controlling the dynamics of an actuatable load functioning or operable within a servo or servo-type system, wherein the dynamics of the load are controlled by way of a unique pressure control valve configured to provide intrinsic pressure regulation. The pressure control valve, which may be referred to as a dynamic pressure regulator because of its capabilities, utilizes dual spools that are physically independent of one another and freely supported in the valve body to regulate the pressures acting within the overall system between the control or pilot pressure and the load or load pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2007Publication date: May 15, 2008Inventors: Stephen Jacobsen, Shane Olsen, Michael Morrison

Publication number: 20080106101Abstract: A method for generating electrical current indirectly from ocean wave action based on the reciprocating surge of the ocean that directly results from the overhead wave action. The method includes (a) positioning an energy transducer below overhead wave action and at a depth and orientation substantially responsive to reciprocating water surges arising from the overhead wave action; and (b) powering the energy transducer by the surges in alternating first and second directions to generate electrical current.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2007Publication date: May 8, 2008Inventors: Vaughn North, Stephen Jacobsen, Fraser Smith

Publication number: 20080021401Abstract: Medical devices for navigation through anatomy, including guidewires, which may have a core wire, a slotted tubular member, or both. Embodiments may have coils, including non-circular cross-section edge-wound marker coils, extended coil tips, and soldered or glued mesial joint coils. Core wires may have a step, ridge, or taper at the joints to the tubular member, and may be flattened at the distal tip. Radiopaque material may be located inside the tubular member, and the distal tip may be heat treated to make it shapeable. Additional tubular members or coils may be used concentrically or in line and may enhance flexibility, provide radiopacity, reduce friction, or reduce material or manufacturing cost. Tubular members may be chamfered or tapered continuously or incrementally. Slots may be arranged in groups, such as groups of tree, and may be equal in depth or unequal in depth to provide a steerable or compressible tip.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2007Publication date: January 24, 2008Applicant: PRECISION VASCULAR SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: STEPHEN JACOBSEN, CLARK DAVIS, CLAY NORTHROP, TED LAYMAN, KEVIN OLSON, EDWARD SNYDER, D.

Publication number: 20080009787Abstract: Techniques for control of fluid delivery from a fluid reservoir by a medical infusion pump are described. Setting of at least one electronically-controllable pumping parameter is determined by the use of one or more mechanical keys. The mechanical key actuates one or more electronic switches of a mechanical key receptacle coupled to the medical infusion pump. The electronic switches are coupled to the medical infusion pump to control the at least one electronically-controllable pumping parameter. Keys can be differently configured to actuate different switches corresponding to particular settings and can include display indicia showing the particular parameter value set by the key.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2007Publication date: January 10, 2008Inventors: Stephen Jacobsen, Shane Olsen, Tomasz Petelenz
