    Patent Application Titled 'Generating Domain Specific Language Expressions Based On Images' Published Online (USPTO 20240134936)

    108-111页
    查看更多>>摘要:Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Identification of plant traits in digital imagery has numerou s applications. One example application is detection, classification, and/or seg mentation of unwanted and/or invasive plants, such as weeds. Another example app lication is detection, classification, and/or segmentation of plant disease. Yet another example application is detection, classification, and/or segmentation o f other types of plant traits, such as plant genus or species (either of which m ay fall under the definition of plant “type”), phenotypic traits (e.g., gender, strain), and so forth. Various types of machine learning models can be trained t o segment and/or recognize various types of plant traits in digital images. Conv olutional neural networks are one popular example. However, the accuracy of thes e machine learning models depends largely on the amount of training data used to train them. Manually annotating training images on a pixel-wise basis and/or us ing bounding shapes can be prohibitively costly. Moreover, images of plants havi ng some traits may not be as widely available or easily acquired as images of pl ants having other traits.”

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Direct Device Electrical Connection To Flexible Circuits Or Other Conductors', for Approval (USPTO 20240136746)

    125-128页
    查看更多>>摘要:News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “A flexible circuit (FC) comprises one or more conductive c ircuit traces disposed within or between one or more dielectric layers. One conv entional method for electrically connecting an FC to another electrical system i nvolves permanently connecting the FC to the other electrical system via solderi ng, crimping, or similar means. FIGS. 1A-1B, for example, illustrate an example electrical system 100 according to the prior art. An electrical device system 10 2 comprises an electrical device 104 (e.g., an automotive radar device) housed b y a housing 108 to form a male electrical connector that electrically connects t o a female electrical connector 110 via a connection position assurance (CPA) fe ature 128 (e.g., a clip or notch). The female electrical connector 110 comprises a housing 112 that houses one or more round wires 116 with corresponding termin al(s) 124 that extend through the housings 108 and 112 to the electrical device 104. These round wire(s) 116 are also permanently connected to the conductive ci rcuit trace(s) of an FC 120 (not shown) via soldering, crimping, or similar mean s. It would be desirable to provide an electrical connection between an FC and a nother electrical system that is detachable or removable (e.g., when component d amage occurs). Additionally, conventional FC electrical connectors are bulky and can take up valuable packaging space and/or increase weight. Thus, while conven tional FC connection methods work for their intended purpose, there exists an op portunity for improvement in the relevant art.

    'Systems And Methods For Generating Clinically Relevant Images That Preserve Phy sical Attributes Of Humans While Protecting Personal Identity' in Patent Applica tion Approval Process (USPTO 20240135534)

    128-133页
    查看更多>>摘要:The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “The present invention, in some embodiments ther eof, relates to synthesis of images of anatomical structures and, more specifica lly, but not exclusively, to systems and methods for synthesizing anonymous imag es. “A generative adversarial network (GAN) is a type of machine learning model arch itecture that is trained to generate images that look real, but that are actuall y synthetic and do not depict any real-world scenario. GANs may generate images of anatomical structures of humans that look like real people, but are in fact s ynthetic.”

    Patent Issued for Architecture to support tanh and sigmoid operations for infere nce acceleration in machine learning (USPTO 11966857)

    133-137页
    查看更多>>摘要:From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the following quote: “Applied Machine Learning (ML) is a booming field t hat utilizes a cascade of layers of nonlinear processing units and algorithms fo r feature extraction and transformation with a wide variety of usages and applic ations. ML typically involves two phases, training, which uses a rich set of tra ining data to train a plurality of machine learning models, and inference, which applies the trained machine learning models to actual applications. Each of the two phases poses a distinct set of requirements for its underlying infrastructu res. Various infrastructures may be used, e.g., graphics processing unit (GPU), a central processing unit (CPU), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), an Appl ication Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), etc. Specifically, the training phas e focuses on, as a non-limiting example, GPU or ASIC infrastructures that scale with the trained models and retraining frequency, wherein the key objective of t he training phase is to achieve high performance and reduce training time. The i nference phase, on the other hand, focuses on infrastructures that scale with th e applications, user, and data, and the key objective of the inference phase is to achieve energy (e.g., performance per watt) and capital (e.g., return on inve stment) efficiency.

    'Generative Model For Multi-Modality Outputs From A Single Input' in Patent Appl ication Approval Process (USPTO 20240135672)

    137-139页
    查看更多>>摘要:The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “A common task in digital image generation is ge nerating multiple images that depict visually similar scenes or environments, ex pressed in different modalities. For instance, some approaches for digitally ren dering a three-dimensional digital environment rely on multiple digital images t hat each express the environment in a different modality to do so, such as one i mage that depicts visual characteristics (e.g., colors) of the environment as pe rceived by a human viewer, another image that represents depth characteristics o f different points in the environment, another image that identifies segmentatio n boundaries for different objects in the environment, and so forth. Conventiona l image generation systems, however, are unable to generate these multiple modal ity images for the environment using a single generative model.”

    Patent Issued for Inspection robots with swappable drive modules (USPTO 11964382 )

    140-142页
    查看更多>>摘要:Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “The present disclosure relates to robotic inspection and trea tment of industrial surfaces.” In addition to obtaining background information on this patent, NewsRx editors a lso obtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent: “Previously kno wn inspection and treatment systems for industrial surfaces suffer from a number of drawbacks. Industrial surfaces are often required to be inspected to determi ne whether a pipe wall, tank surface, or other industrial surface feature has su ffered from corrosion, degradation, loss of a coating, damage, wall thinning or wear, or other undesirable aspects. Industrial surfaces are often present within a hazardous location-for example in an environment with heavy operating equipme nt, operating at high temperatures, in a confined environment, at a high elevati on, in the presence of high voltage electricity, in the presence of toxic or nox ious gases, in the presence of corrosive liquids, and/or in the presence of oper ating equipment that is dangerous to personnel. Accordingly, presently known sys tems require that a system be shutdown, that a system be operated at a reduced c apacity, that stringent safety procedures be followed (e.g., lockout/tagout, con fined space entry procedures, harnessing, etc.), and/or that personnel are expos ed to hazards even if proper procedures are followed. Additionally, the inconven ience, hazards, and/or confined spaces of personnel entry into inspection areas can result in inspections that are incomplete, of low resolution, that lack syst ematic coverage of the inspected area, and/or that are prone to human error and judgement in determining whether an area has been properly inspected.
