  • Publication number: 20240119276
    Abstract: Generating a neural network model for producing explainable prediction outputs for input data samples is provided. Training dataset of data samples are provided, each having a prediction label indicating a desired prediction output from the model for that sample, and a set of concept vectors are defined comprising a plurality of concept vectors which are associated with respective predefined concepts characterizing information content of the data samples. A set of input vectors are produced from each data sample. A neural network model is trained that includes a cross-attention module for producing a sample embedding for a data sample and a prediction module for producing a prediction output from the sample embedding.

  • Patent number: 11945603
    Abstract: A load carrier for an aircraft cargo hold includes a bottom element with a support surface, the load carrier being movable over a floor surface in a floor plane while the support surface faces the floor surface, the bottom element having a base surface. The support surface has rolling elements rotatable about a rotation axis oriented where a parallel to the axis runs parallel to the floor plane, and the rolling elements being retained on the bottom element where the rotation axis of each of the rolling elements can be rotated about a vertical axis running perpendicularly to the floor plane. A load carrier can include a bottom element, the support surface of which has outlet openings, through which air can exit from the support surface to form an air cushion under the support surface. A load carrier can include a bottom element the support surface of which has slider elements.

  • Patent number: 10299735
    Abstract: A front-end system collects diagnostically relevant information or data, including pulse waveform information, and optionally timing information, symptom information, and/or diagnostic information. One or more sensors or transducers detect pulse waveforms in a consistent manner, across various subjects and practitioners. A back-end system stores diagnostically relevant information and diagnostic information, typically for a large population of subjects and practitioners. The back-end system generates system generated diagnoses and/or suggested remedial actions based on submitted inquiries or requests. The back-end system can advantageously employ machine learning techniques to identify correlations between defining characteristics or features of pulse waveforms and diagnoses, over a large number of samples submitted by a substantial number of practitioners, for instance of traditional Chinese medicine. The back-end system can also employ primary and/or secondary symptoms in identifying correlations.

  • Patent number: 9690215
    Abstract: The invention relates to a differential interferometer module adapted for measuring a direction of displacement between a reference mirror and a measurement mirror. In an embodiment the differential interferometer module is adapted for emitting three reference beams towards a first mirror and three measurement beams towards a second mirror for determining a displacement between said first and second mirror. In a preferred embodiment the same module is adapted for measuring a relative rotation around two perpendicular axes as well. The present invention further relates to a lithography system comprising such a interferometer module and a method for measuring such a displacement and rotations.

  • Publication number: 20110131121
    Abstract: A refinancing program for an underwater loan is disclosed. In particular embodiments, a method for refinancing a loan includes determining an original loan value, wherein the original loan value is associated with an original loan secured by a property having a current property value that is less than the original loan value. The method also includes calculating, with a processor, a conforming loan value based, at least in part, on the current property value, wherein the conforming loan value is associated with a conforming loan and the conforming loan value is less than the current property value. The method also includes calculating a shared appreciation mortgage (SAM) loan value based on a numerical difference between the conforming loan value and the original loan value.

  • Publication number: 20090211225
    Abstract: The thrust of a rocket motor can be varied to optimize Nozzle Pressure Ratio (NPR) using a design that allows for adjusting the relative position of a plug and a combustion chamber exit. The plug or the exit may be attached to an adaptive control system for position modification. The relative position of the plug and exit may be adjusted to optimize NPR to account for changing propellant flow and/or changing ambient pressure.

  • Patent number: 7565797
    Abstract: The thrust of a rocket motor can be varied while maintaining efficiency over a range of pressure ratios using a design that allows for changing the relative position of a plug and a combustion chamber exit. The plug or the chamber exit may be attached to an adaptive control system for position modification. The plug may be positioned in a plug nozzle configuration or in an expansion-deflection (ED) configuration. In either configuration, the elongated downstream portion of the plug allows for efficiency over a wide range of pressure ratios, while ability to change plug position with respect to the chamber exit allows adjustment of rocket thrust.

  • Patent number: 7461376
    Abstract: A dynamic workload management system enables system administrators to easily identify installed applications and to assign them to affinity groupings in order of importance to the enterprise and to enable the system administrators to save and restore multiple configurations. The workload configuration is continually updated based on the hardware utilization measurements of the application groups that make up a workload configuration. The software interface of the system of the invention permits the system to dynamically add and remove processors to and from affinity masks that are automatically set up. This feature of the invention allows the application groups to consume CPU resources according to their priority.
