Appl. No.:

11/823737

Inventors:

Eric Negron - San Francisco CA, US
Patrick H. Hayes - Mission Viejo CA, US

Assignee:

Universal Electronics Inc. - Cypress CA

International Classification:

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

370338, 709222

Abstract:

A controlling device is used to configure an appliance for wireless network communications through use of a setup wizard installed on a computing device. The setup wizard is used to obtain from a user information required to perform communications on a wireless network via a wireless network router and a digital representation of the information obtained from the user through use of the setup wizard is provided to the controlling device. The controlling device is then used to transfer the digital representation of the information to the appliance whereupon the appliance will use the digital representation of the information to configure itself for wireless network communications.

Patrick Dewey Hayes - San Diego CA

Assignee:

The United Sates of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

H01J 3912

US Classification:

250221

Abstract:

Radiant energy sensors situated in first and second orthogonally positioned rrays may be activated by radiant energy projected thereupon by radiant energy sources spatially separated therefrom, each of the sensors providing a first output level when activated and otherwise providing a second level of output. A control element subject to an operator's manipulation is situated between the sensors of both arrays and their respective activating sources, and is disposed to be movable in two spatial dimensions to selectively shadow sensors of both arrays. The combined outputs of the sensors of the first and second array comprise a control signal in digital form, wherein discrete positions of the control element are represented, the digital control signal being coupled through a digital-to-analog converter to generate analog signals determinative of the motion of a light element on the screen of a cathode ray tube (CRT) display device and functionally related to control element position.

International Classification:

H05B 664
A61M 103

US Classification:

219 1055E

Abstract:

A shielding apparatus is provided for containing frozen bags of fluid and re particularly for containing frozen bags of blood components during microwave thaw. The apparatus includes a metal box for receiving a blood bag, the box having a bottom and sides. A metallic lid is provided, and a hinging device pivotally mounts the lid to the box for enclosing the blood bag therein. The lid and optionally the bottom of the box may be provided with an aperture for allowing microwaves to enter the box. Radiation absorbing strips are mounted along the edges of the apertures for absorbing E field reflections toward the blood bag. The apertures allow microwave energy to be concentrated in the more voluminous part of the blood bag while the edges of bag as well as any tubing are shielded by the metallic box. This apparatus prevents boiling of the blood in the lower volume areas of the bag.

International Classification:

G06N 7/00
G06N 20/00

Abstract:

Disclosed examples include after a first tuning of hyperparameters in a hyperparameter space, selecting first hyperparameter values for respective ones of the hyperparameters; generating a polygonal shaped failure region in the hyperparameter space based on the first hyperparameter values; setting the first hyperparameter values to failure before a second tuning of the hyperparameters; and selecting second hyperparameter values for the respective ones of the hyperparameters in a second tuning region after the second tuning of the hyperparameters in the second tuning region, the second tuning region separate from the polygonal shaped failure region.

International Classification:

G06N 20/20

Abstract:

Systems and methods for an accelerated tuning of hyperparameters of a model supported with prior learnings data include assessing subject models associated with a plurality of distinct sources of transfer tuning data, wherein the assessing includes implementing of: [1] a model relatedness assessment for each of a plurality of distinct pairwise subject models, and [2] a model coherence assessment for each of the plurality of distinct pairwise subject models; constructing a plurality of distinct prior mixture models based on the relatedness metric value and the coherence metric value for each of the plurality of distinct pairwise subject models, identifying sources of transfer tuning data based on identifying a distinct prior mixture model having a satisfactory model evidence fraction; and accelerating a tuning of hyperparameters of the target model based on transfer tuning data associated with the distinct prior mixture model having the satisfactory model evidence fraction.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for tuning hyperparameters of a model include receiving a tuning request for tuning hyperparameters, the tuning request includes a first and a second objective function for the machine learning model. The first and second objective functions may output metric values that do not improve uniformly. Systems and methods additionally include defining a joint tuning function that is based on a combination of the first and second objective functions; executing a tuning operation; identifying a Pareto efficient frontier curve defined by a plurality of distinct hyperparameter values; applying metric thresholds to the Pareto efficient frontier curve; demarcating the Pareto efficient frontier curve into at least a first infeasible section and a second feasible section; searching the second feasible section of the Pareto efficient frontier curve for one or more proposed hyperparameter values; and identifying at least a first set of proposed hyperparameter values based on the search.
