  • Publication number: 20260195639
    Abstract: Training a differential privacy-aware (DP-aware) machine learning model includes transmitting epsilon hyperparameters to federated learning (FL) nodes. A differential privacy-aware (DP-aware) machine learning model is generated based on noise-infused surrogate histograms received from the FL nodes, each noise-infused surrogate histogram based on an epsilon hyperparameter and representing a node-specific dataset. The DP-aware machine learning model is transmitted to the FL nodes. A DP-aware aggregate histogram is generated by merging DP-aware gradients and DP-aware Hessians determined by the FL nodes based on each FL node generating predictions by applying the DP-aware machine learning model to a node-specific dataset therein. A decision tree of the DP-aware machine learning model is expanded by dividing data in one or more decision tree nodes.

  • Patent number: 12654313
    Abstract: Architectures and techniques are provided for improved vibration compensation for a boom lift-robot-mounted (BLMR) system, which can result in improved BLMR operating precision and safety at a reduced cost. Boom lifts typically contain extendable large-scale, variable-stiffness structures, subject to complex nonlinear static deformation and dynamic motion/gust-induced vibrations. Said vibrations can be compensated for at an end effector of a robot via a Jacobian-based vibration compensation via IMU (JVCI) procedure. The output of the JVCI procedure can rely on IMU feedback and can be combined with other vibration-mitigation techniques, including various feedforward techniques.

  • Publication number: 20260135437
    Abstract: A terminal connector and an electric drive assembly are disclosed. A plurality of conductive members of the terminal block and the filter part are disposed in the housing, and a first connection end and the second connection end are respectively disposed at two ends of the extension body to conduct current. Thus, a plurality of first segments are disposed on the extension body, and the plurality of first segments are arranged at intervals to form an intermediate component disposed inside the magnetic ring. This allows the conductive member to pass through the magnetic ring multiple times via the intermediate component, thereby increasing the coupling strength between the terminal block and the magnetic ring and improving the filtering effect of the magnetic ring on common-mode noise. On the other hand, it avoids the need to set capacitors on the terminal connector. Thereby, the structure of the terminal connector is simplified, and its volume is made more compact.
