  • Publication number: 20220063766
    Abstract: A two-way openable maritime hatch in which the articulating components that open the hatch, and hold it in an open position, are enclosed within a waterproof seal of the hatch when in closed position. The design uses a double hinge structure, which facilitates opening the hatch in either a forward- or aft-facing position. Elastic gaskets may be used to hold the hatch open in specific positions or at specific angles. Each of the hinge systems are independently operable.

  • Patent number: 10861439
    Abstract: Provided is a process that includes: obtaining a training set of n-grams labeled as offensive; causing a machine learning model to be trained based on the training set of n-grams, wherein the machine learning model, when trained, is configured to classify natural language text as offensive or non-offensive; obtaining input natural language text expressing a computer-generated utterance; classifying after causing training, the computer-generated utterance as offensive or non-offensive using the machine learning model; and causing an output to be provided to a recipient, the output being based on whether the machine learning model classifies the computer-generated utterance as offensive or non-offensive.
