Title: Enhancing knowledge discovery from multiple data sets using multiple support vector machines
Inventor: BARNHILL STEPHEN D
IPC: G06N20/10
Filed: 2000-05-24
Granted: 2011-08-09
Abstract: A system and method for enhancing knowledge discovery from data using multiple learning machines in general and multiple support vector machines in particular. Training data for a learning machine is pre-processed in order to add meaning thereto. Pre-processing data may involve transforming the data points and/or expanding the data points. By adding meaning to the data, the learning machine is provided with a greater amount of information for processing. With regard to support vector machines in particular, the greater the amount of information that is processed, the better generalizations about the data that may be derived. Multiple support vector machines, each comprising distinct kernels, are trained with the pre-processed training data and are tested with test data that is pre-processed in the same manner. The test outputs from multiple support vector machines are compared in order to determine which of the test outputs if any represents a optimal solution. Selection of one or more kernels may be adjusted and one or more support vector machines may be retrained and retested. Optimal solutions based on distinct input data sets may be combined to form a new input data set to be input into one or more additional support vector machine.

Title: Vibration compensation for sensors
Inventor: VALLOT LAWRENCE C
IPC: G01C19/56
Filed: 2000-08-04
Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: Vibration induced errors in sensors are predicted based on a measurement of vibration power spectra. Accelerometer samples are used to estimate vibration power spectral densities. A calibration procedure using suitable vibration stimulus provides the ability to estimate sensitivity coefficients to be used to compensate for the vibration induced error. High rate vibration measurement samples are provided as input to a power spectral density estimator. The vibration power spectrum estimates are then combined with previously obtained calibration coefficients to generate real time bias correction. Vibration bias sensitivity coefficients are estimated in a controlled environment to ensure their accuracy to compensate the sensor in real-time applications using acceleration measurement devices such as accelerometers mounted to a rigid sensor assembly shared with the sensor to be compensated. Vibration bias estimates are then combined with outputs from both a gyro and accelerometer, which combined from an inertial sensor.

Abstract: An automatic eaves trough downspout includes a first conduit and a second conduit. The first conduit has a coupling socket. The second conduit has a hollow cylindrical coupling body is adapted to fit in the socket to form a pivotal connection. The cylindrical coupling body pivots on a pair of pivot pins. A torsion spring overlies one of the pivot pins. A first end of the torsion spring is secured to the cylindrical coupling body. A second end of the torsion spring is secured to a head of the pivot pin. Rotation of the pivot pin in a first direction increases the tension of the torsion spring. The torsion spring biases the second conduit into the substantially vertical stored position. A ratchet engagement is provided between the head portion of the pivot pin and the socket of the first conduit, which permits rotational movement of the pivot pin in the first direction to increase spring tension and resists rotational movement in the second direction.
