Patent number: 11920886Abstract: A weapon is capable of firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition rounds. The weapon includes a barrel, a chamber member that defines a chamber configured to hold a CT round for firing from the weapon, a non-rotating carrier body, and linkage. The linkage is constructed and arranged to move the chamber member (i) from a firing position in which the chamber member is aligned with the barrel for firing the CT round to an ejection/loading position in which the chamber member is not aligned with the barrel for ejecting a spent CT round and receiving a next CT round in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving away from the barrel, and (ii) from the ejection/loading position to the firing position in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving toward the barrel.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Textron Systems CorporationInventors: Joshua Stephen Ruck, Brandon Scott Recchia, Bradford Timothy Jones, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Petro Romanovych Khoma, Mark Timothy Fellows, Madeline Claire Spurlock

Publication number: 20240020458Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for formatting raw text. One method includes an operation for accessing raw text comprising words corresponding to one or more sentences. The raw text is lowercase text without any punctuation. Further, the method includes operations for creating a plurality of sub-words corresponding to the raw text, and for generating, by a machine-learning (ML) model, an output for each sub-word based on the created sub-words. The output for each sub-word indicates a formatting operation for the corresponding sub-word. The method further includes an operation for generating, based on the formatting operations in the outputs for the sub-words, formatted text corresponding to the raw text. The formatted text is text with correct grammar, proper punctuation, and proper capitalization according to a meaning of words spoken by a speaker associated with the raw text.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Alfredo Láinez Rodrigo, Luke Percival de Oliveira, Umair Akeel, Tyler Cole

Publication number: 20230388413Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for searching and labeling the content of voice conversations. An Engagement Intelligence Platform (EIP) analyzes conversation transcripts to find states and information for each of the states (e.g., interest rate quoted and value of the interest rate). An annotator User Interface (IU) is provided for performing queries, such as, “Find calls were the agent asked the customer for their name and the customer did not answer;” “Find calls where the customer objected after the interest rate for the loan was quoted, “Find calls where the agent asked for consent for recording the call, but no customer confirmation was received.” The EIP analyzes the conversation and labels (e.g., “tags”) the text where the conversation associated with the label took place, such as, “An interest rate was provided.” The labels are customizable, so each client can define its own labels based on business needs.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Tyler Cole, Eduardo Pardo San Llorente, Sahil Kumar, Byeongung Ahn, Elaine Lee, Nicolas Acosta Amador, Pablo Pérez Diez

Publication number: 20220156296Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for searching the content of voice conversations. The conversations are translated into text and analysis of the conversation is performed to identify information in the conversation. The information identified includes turns taking data in the conversation and states identified within each state. A powerful user interface (UI) is provided to review the conversations and add annotations that tag the different turns. Additionally, parameter values are extracted from the text. A powerful search engine is provided with multiple search options, such as searching for text, searching by state within the conversation, searching by parameters extracted from the conversation, or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2021Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Luke Percival de Oliveira, Umair Akeel, Alfredo Láinez Rodrigo, Nicolas Acosta Amador, Sahil Kumar, Liat Barda Dremer, Byeongung Ahn, Tyler Cole

Publication number: 20220156460Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for classifying information in conversations and extracting information from the conversations. An Engagement Intelligence Platform (EIP) analyzes transcripts of conversations to find different states and information associated with each of the states (e.g., identification that the interest rate was quoted, and the quoted value of the interest rate). The EIP analyzes the conversation and labels (e.g., “tags”) the text where the conversation associated with the label took place, such as, “An interest rate was provided.” The labels are customizable, so each client can define its own labels based on business needs. Further, the EIP extracts data from the conversation (e.g., the interest rate is “3%”).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2021Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Alfredo Láinez Rodrigo, Tyler Cole, Umair Akeel, Luke Percival de Oliveira

Patent number: 10941994Abstract: A weapon for firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition includes a barrel, a chamber member and a carrier assembly. The chamber member defines a chamber for a CT round for firing, and translates between a firing position aligned with the barrel and an ejection/loading position. The chamber member is spring-biased toward the firing position. Dual-feed structure provides for both a magazine mode as well as a belt feed mode of operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Textron Systems CorporationInventors: Paul Andrew Shipley, Joshua Stephen Ruck, Gregory Paul Habiak, George Ronald Christ, Brandon Scott Recchia, Mark Allen Siemsen, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Kevin Michael Ayotte

Patent number: 10935353Abstract: A magazine for storing cased telescoped (CT) cartridges and delivering the CT cartridges to a firearm configured to fire CT cartridges. The magazine includes a fixed lip and a moveable lip. The fixed lip and the moveable lip of the magazine are configured to prevent a CT cartridge located in a top-most position within the magazine from being pushed out a top of the magazine when the magazine is not fully inserted into a magazine well of the firearm configured to fire CT cartridges. The moveable lip may pivot laterally on a pivot point and move out of the way of the CT cartridge located in the top-most position within the magazine when the magazine is fully inserted and locked into the magazine well of the firearm configured to fire CT cartridges.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Textron Systems CorporationInventors: Paul Andrew Shipley, Joshua Stephen Ruck, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Brandon Scott Recchia, Cameron Mehdi Brand
