  • Patent number: 11954527
    Abstract: A resource allocation method comprises using resources with a used resource quantity of a machine learning system to execute a first experiment which has a first minimum resource demand, receiving an experiment request associated with a target dataset, deciding a second experiment according to the target dataset, deciding a second minimum resource demand of the second experiment, allocating resources with a quantity equal to the second minimum resource demand for an execution of the second experiment when a total resource quantity of the machine learning system meets a sum of the first minimum resource demand and the second minimum resource demand and a difference between the total resource quantity and the used resource quantity meets the second minimum resource demand, determining that the machine learning system has an idle resource, and selectively allocating said the idle resource for at least one of the first experiment and the second experiment.

  • Patent number: 9017748
    Abstract: Improved methods for potassium fortification in food products and the resulting potassium-fortified food products produced therefrom are provided. The methods of this invention allow significant levels of potassium fortification (i.e., greater than about 10 percent, and even up to about 50 percent, of the current U.S. Daily Values (DV) in a single serving) without the objectionable and unpleasant taste profile normally associated with current methods of potassium fortification.
