20080201281 | PARALLEL SUPPORT VECTOR METHOD AND APPARATUS - Disclosed is an improved technique for training a support vector machine using a distributed architecture. A training data set is divided into subsets, and the subsets are optimized in a first level of optimizations, with each optimization generating a support vector set. The support vector sets output from the first level optimizations are then combined and used as input to a second level of optimizations. This hierarchical processing continues for multiple levels, with the output of each prior level being fed into the next level of optimizations. In order to guarantee a global optimal solution, a final set of support vectors from a final level of optimization processing may be fed back into the first level of the optimization cascade so that the results may be processed along with each of the training data subsets. This feedback may continue in multiple iterations until the same final support vector set is generated during two sequential iterations through the cascade, thereby guaranteeing that the solution has converged to the global optimal solution. In various embodiments, various combinations of inputs may be used by the various optimizations. The individual optimizations may be processed in parallel. | 08-21-2008 |
20090171868 | Method and Apparatus for Early Termination in Training of Support Vector Machines - Disclosed is a method for early termination in training support vector machines.

At each iteration, a termination threshold is calculated based on the current SVM solution. The termination threshold increases with the number of training examples. The termination threshold can be calculated based on the observed variance of the loss for the current SVM solution. The termination threshold is compared to a duality gap between primal and dual formulations at the current SVM solution. When the duality gap is less than the termination threshold, the training is terminated. | 07-02-2009 |

A multifunctional remote device (condition unit) is carried by a carrier, the remote device transmits a short range radio frequency (Rf) signal which, when within range, is received by a stationary control unit. A second multifunctional remote device (cluster unit) is carried by the operator of the carrier and must be in secure communication with the condition unit to enable secure transmission between the control and the control unit. The operation of both said multifunctional remote units changes significantly with application in differing fields of use. By intelligently varying the interactive antenna Tx and Rx area, the proximity and therefore position of the remote (condition) unit to the base (control) unit can be deduced, outwardly appearing as a decoding of the intent of the carrier.

20090321377 | Teat Unit - A teat unit for sucking a liquid from a liquid container includes a teat and a flow restrictor with a through-opening. The teat comprises a mouthpiece, with a suction opening, and a main body which is formed integrally on the mouthpiece and widens relative to the mouthpiece.
