  • Patent number: 11922284
    Abstract: There is a need for solutions that generates a temporally dynamic prediction for a particular prediction input. This need can be addressed by, for example, processing the prediction input using each of a plurality of temporally trained machine learning models to generate a corresponding model-specific prediction inference of a plurality of model-specific prediction inferences and processing the plurality of model-specific prediction inferences using an ensemble model to generate the temporally dynamic prediction for the prediction input.

  • Patent number: 11585914
    Abstract: A system and method for generating communications waveforms that can operate in congested frequency spaces and in applications in which the receiver is moving with respect to the transmitter is provided. In one or more examples, each symbol to be encoded and transmitted is converted into a sequence of frequency chirps. The sequence of frequencies used by the sequence of chirps is based on the symbol that is to be encoded. Each chirp can have a center frequency, and the frequency can be swept over the duration of the chirp. In this way each chirp can have a varying frequency over the duration of the chirp, but the phase of the chirp can be continuous throughout the duration of the chirp. The bandwidth and sweep rate of the chirp can be based on the expected maximum velocity of the receiver and the transmitter relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 8898080
    Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic trading system and associated methods adapted to automatically match submitted orders on the basis of price, quantity limitations, and lines of credit defined by potential counterparties. Lines of credit are divided into time based tranches relating to the maturity of an instrument to be traded, and a number of schemes are used to manage the tranches in order to improve control and use of remaining credit, which can be replenished manually or automatically. Traders are grouped into desks, and orders submitted by a trader may be matched on behalf of any of several credit centers defined per trader desk. Lines of credit may be held in various ways such as at the level of counterparty trading organizations, and at the level of counterparty credit centers.

  • Publication number: 20040026152
    Abstract: Hydraulically driven apparatus where the rotation of a ground contact wheel (3) automatically rotates a second device requiring drive (5) via a circuit (15, 16) and hydraulic motors (4,6) attached to the wheel (3) and second device (5), respectevely. The apparatus can be used in many applications including in one embodiment used as a transmission system to drive a rotary broom (5) of a sweeping apparatus.
