Systems and Methods for Deep Model Translation Generation

Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for improving the training of machine learning systems to recognize certain objects within a given image by supplementing an existing sparse set of real-world training images with a comparatively dense set of realistic training images. Embodiments may create such a dense set of realistic training images by training a machine learning translator with a convolutional autoencoder to translate a dense set of synthetic images of an object into more realistic training images. Embodiments may also create a dense set of realistic training images by training a generative adversarial network (“GAN”) to create realistic training images from a combination of the existing sparse set of real-world training images and either Gaussian noise, translated images, or synthetic images. The created dense set of realistic training images may then be used to more effectively train a machine learning object recognizer to recognize a target object in a newly presented digital image.

Method of managing interference during delay recovery on a train system

InactiveUS6980894B1Minimizing trip timeAvoiding low train voltageSpeed controllerElectric devicesSystem requirementsLow voltage
The present invention provides methods for preventing low train voltages and managing interference, thereby improving the efficiency, reliability, and passenger comfort associated with commuter trains. An algorithm implementing neural network technology is used to predict low voltages before they occur. Once voltages are predicted, then multiple trains can be controlled to prevent low voltage events. Further, algorithms for managing inference are presented in the present invention. Different types of interference problems are addressed in the present invention such as “Interference During Acceleration”, “Interference Near Station Stops”, and “Interference During Delay Recovery.” Managing such interference avoids unnecessary brake / acceleration cycles during acceleration, immediately before station stops, and after substantial delays. Algorithms are demonstrated to avoid oscillatory brake / acceleration cycles due to interference and to smooth the trajectories of closely following trains. This is achieved by maintaining sufficient following distances to avoid unnecessary braking / accelerating. These methods generate smooth train trajectories, making for a more comfortable ride, and improve train motor reliability by avoiding unnecessary mode-changes between propulsion and braking. These algorithms can also have a favorable impact on traction power system requirements and energy consumption.

Tactile feedback man-machine interface device

A man-machine interface which provides tactile feedback to various sensing body parts is disclosed. The device employs one or more vibrotactile units, where each unit comprises a mass and a mass-moving actuator. As the mass is accelerated by the mass-moving actuator, the entire vibrotactile unit vibrates. Thus, the vibrotactile unit transmits a vibratory stimulus to the sensing body part to which it is affixed. The vibrotactile unit may be used in conjunction with a spatial placement sensing device which measures the spatial placement of a measured body part. A computing device uses the spatial placement of the measured body part to determine the desired vibratory stimulus to be provided by the vibrotactile unit. In this manner, the computing device may control the level of vibratory feedback perceived by the corresponding sensing body part in response to the motion of the measured body part. The sensing body part and the measured body part may be separate or the same body part.
