    'System For Automatic Filling Of Medication Organizers' in Patent Application Ap proval Process (USPTO 20240078862)

    119-123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 disclosure concerns the distributio n of pills. More specifically, the present disclosure is concerned with a system for automatic filling of medication organizers. “Doses of medication over prescribed periods vary as a function of the type of m edication and the condition of the patient. Patients are often required to take a plurality of doses over different periods of a day, and this often leads to co nfusion. It may be difficult for a patient to respect the prescription details ( e.g., intake time, quantity) when the doses and the types of medication are nume rous.

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Architecture For Distributed Artificial Intelligence Augmentation', for Approval (USPTO 20240078763)

    123-128页
    查看更多>>摘要：News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Stable and reliable robotic systems are becoming increasin gly common, which has contributed to the recent advancement and proliferation of unmanned system technologies. In many instances these systems are equipped with recording devices (e.g., video, infrared, heat, audio, point cloud, and/or othe r recording devices). For example, a drone equipped with a camera (e.g., a video camera, a night vision camera, an infrared camera, or another suitable camera) may enable an operator or another observer to get a good tactical view of what i s happening in an operational area. In many instances, it may be useful to ident ify objects in the camera footage (e.g., other operators, vehicles, etc.) and in dicate a position of those objects in three-dimensional space. Furthermore, it m ay be useful to link those objects with known objects and label the objects in the footage with their three-dimensional position and identification. However, de termining an accurate three-dimensional location of objects within the image may be difficult, as the camera is mounted to a vehicle (e.g., a drone) that is mov ing, so adjustments may be needed. Furthermore, determining which objects within the images correspond to which real-world objects may also be difficult, especi ally in cases where multiple objects of the same type (e.g., multiple people) ar e detected in the footage.

    Patent Issued for Systems, methods, and apparatus for updating an electronic she lf label display (USPTO 11922092)

    128-132页
    查看更多>>摘要：Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Electronic shelf labels (ESLs) can be placed on shelves to di splay information associated with objects placed on the shelves. The information frequently includes product identifiers and product pricing information.” In addition to obtaining background information on this patent, NewsRx editors a lso obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent: “Described in d etail herein are methods and systems for an electronic shelf label system. Embod iments of the present invention use an ESL affixed to a shelf facing to assist s tock associates in managing products on the shelf. More particularly, embodiment s enable step-by-step instructions and/or graphical depictions displayed on a di splay screen of the ESL to guide a stock associate in arranging products on the shelf. The products on the shelf may be arranged based on a planogram generated from a range of criteria including historical profit and loss data, inventory data, supply and demand data and/or labor cost data. The planogram is a diagram th at shows how and where specific retail products should be placed on the various shelves in the facility order to increase customer purchases. The planogram may be based on an x and y coordinate system to show product locations in the facili ty and may include a z axis (vertical dimension) to account for multiple shelves in the same location. The instructions for shelf management may be developed so as to minimize the amount of operations performed by the stock associate when t ransitioning the shelf from a first arrangement to an optimized arrangement and to minimize the time required by the stock associate or other stocking resource, such as a robotic stocker, to perform the arrangement. Real-time feedback may b e provided via cameras that acquire images of product placement and movement and adjust graphical depictions and instructions on the ESL accordingly.

    Patent Issued for Detecting and reducing bias (including discrimination) in an a utomated decision making process (USPTO 11922435)

    132-136页
    查看更多>>摘要：News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Field of the Invention“The invention relates to machine learning and more particularly to using machin e learning to detect and reduce bias in an automated decision making process, su ch as, for example, whether to provide a particular amount of credit to an indiv idual. “Description of the Related Art “Corporations, government entities, and the like may continually make decisions that take into account a large number of factors. For example, a university may base the decision on whether to offer admission to a student on factors such as the student's grades at another educational institution, the student's extracur ricular activities, the age of the student, the race of the student, social-econ omic background of the student, and the like. As another example, a lender, such as a bank, may base a decision on whether to extend a particular amount of cred it (e.g., mortgage, car loan, etc.) to a person or a business based on a credit score, prior credit history, income, where the person lives, and the like. Such decisions may include some form of bias (e.g., implicit bias) such that, even if an institution considers their decision-making process to be impartial, the res ults may in fact be biased. Thus, bias can creep into the rules used for approva l or denial of an application, such as a credit application, an education instit ution admissions application, and the like, and the bias may be difficult to det ect. Bias refers to making a decision using a decision-making process where the decision favors (or disfavors) certain traits or characteristics, such as gender, age, ethnicity, geographic location, income, and the like. For example, women typically earn significantly less (e.g., approximately 1/4 to 1/3 less) than the ir male counterparts (e.g., in similar jobs and with similar educational backgro unds and experience). When a decision-making process takes annual income into co nsideration, the resulting decisions may have an implicit bias for males and aga inst females. In some cases, the bias may be sufficiently significant that the b ias is discriminatory and therefore illegal.
