ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,468,268, issued on Nov. 11.
"Machine-learning based monitoring of plastic recycling" was invented by Ryan Carter (San Juan, Puerto Rico).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A machine-learning based approach to preemptively adjust additives applied to a stream of plastic to obtain recycled plastic with desired target characteristics. The approach includes obtaining sensor input of an input stream of material into a plastic recycling system and determining, using a machine-learning model, a target set of characteristics of an output material. The machine-learning model is trained to determine an administration scheme associated with a set of add...
