  • Patent number: 10592535
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating tailored user interface presentations based on microindustry clustering. According to various embodiments, the system accesses a set of entity profiles and a set of member profiles. The system determines a set of feature vectors for each entity of the set of entity profiles and identifies a set of movement data representing changes in association of one or more members from a first entity to a second entity. The system generates an entity graph for the set of entities and the set of members. The systems generate a first set of clusters in the entity graph, a second set of clusters by partitioning one or more of the first clusters, and a set of third clusters from the set of second clusters, combining one or more of the second clusters.

  • Publication number: 20200077757
    Abstract: This invention proposes a modern umbrella, which consists of ribs, nests, shaft and canopy. The ribs have long ribs and supporting ribs, and the nests are composed of upper nest and lower nest, with the lower nest composed of several disks from up to down. Between two neighboring disks is a connecting tube, and the disks mentioned above have several mounting notches, which are not arranged in order. One end of supporting rib is articulated to mounting notch, and the other end to long rib. With regard to two neighboring disks, the distance from the joint between supporting rib connected with upper disk and long rib to upper nest is no greater than the distance from the joint between supporting rib connected with lower disk and long rib to upper nest. The canopy clings to long ribs to shape various concave-convex surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20200082909
    Abstract: An input genotype is divided into a plurality of windows, each including a sequence of SNPs. For each window, a diploid HMM is computed based on genotypes and/or phased haplotypes to determine a probability of a haplotype sequence being associated with a particular label. For example, the diploid HMM for a window is used to determine the emission probability that the window corresponds to a set of labels. An inter-window HMM, with a set of states for each window, is computed. Labels are assigned to the input genotype based on the inter-window HMM. Upper and lower bounds are estimated to produce a range of likely percentage values an input can be assigned to a given label. Confidence values are determined indicating a likelihood that an individual inherits DNA from a certain population. Maps are generated with polygons representing regions where a measure of ethnicity of population falls within specific ranges.
