  • Publication number: 20240069538
    Abstract: A method may include: receiving input data comprising company business descriptions, industry tags, and industry tag descriptions; creating a similarity matrix for the industry tags using a minimum labeling strategy, wherein the similarity matrix comprises a plurality of similarity scores for pairs of industry tags; sampling the industry tags using a stratified sampling method; generating a semantic textual similarity style dataset comprising triplets of the industry tag descriptions, the company business descriptions, and the similarity scores; fine-tuning a baseline language model for a semantic similarity model; training the semantic similarity model by subjecting embeddings generated for pairs of the company business description and industry tag descriptions to a cosine similarity function; creating a checkpoint model for the semantic similarity model, and inferring an industry tag for each company using the checkpoint model that generates a cosine similarity for pairs for industry tag descriptions.

  • Patent number: 5320212
    Abstract: A bi-directional ratchet conveyor is shown including a carrier bar slideably mounted centrally of a frame and operated by a power cylinder. The carrier bar has a first plurality of gravity dogs pivotally secured along a first side thereof, and a second plurality of gravity dogs secured along a second side thereof oriented in an opposite direction from the first plurality of gravity dogs. Dog operating rods are slideably secured to each side of the carrier bar for independently operating the first and second plurality of dogs between active and neutral positions. Each dog operating rod is operated by a separate pneumatic cylinder. When the first plurality of dogs are maintained in an active position, the second plurality of dogs are maintained in a neutral position, thereby providing for movement of goods in one direction along the conveyor through repeated extension and retraction of the power cylinder.
