  • Patent number: 11915145
    Abstract: In various examples, a two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) deep neural network (DNN) is implemented to fuse 2D and 3D object detection results for classifying objects. For example, regions of interest (ROIs) and/or bounding shapes corresponding thereto may be determined using one or more region proposal networks (RPNs)—such as an image-based RPN and/or a depth-based RPN. Each ROI may be extended into a frustum in 3D world-space, and a point cloud may be filtered to include only points from within the frustum. The remaining points may be voxelated to generate a volume in 3D world space, and the volume may be applied to a 3D DNN to generate one or more vectors. The one or more vectors, in addition to one or more additional vectors generated using a 2D DNN processing image data, may be applied to a classifier network to generate a classification for an object.

  • Patent number: 11871212
    Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for communicating at a cellular router between a first wireless communication module and a first subscriber identity module (SIM). The cellular router receives a first request from a first wireless communication module and encapsulates the first request in a first modified request. The cellular router then sends the first modified request to a first SIM card in a first communication apparatus and waits for a first modified reply. While waiting for the first modified reply the cellular router sends at least one halt message to the first wireless communication module after a first time threshold. After receiving the first modified reply, the cellular router decapsulates the first modified reply to retrieve a first reply and sends the first reply to the first wireless communication module where the first modified reply is a reply to the first modified request.

  • Patent number: 11854116
    Abstract: Techniques for masking images based on a particular task are described. A system masks portions of an image that are not relevant to a particular task, thus, reducing the amount of data used by applications for image processing tasks. For example, images to be processed using a hair color classification model are masked so that only portions that show the person's hair are available for the model to analyze. The system configures different masker components to mask images for different tasks. A masker component can be implemented at a user device to mask images prior to sending to an application/task-specific model.

  • Patent number: 11853643
    Abstract: The present invention enables a user to share his/her listening experience selectively with others without sharing headphones and without disturbing others who do not want to listen. In a preferred embodiment, a first listener can accomplish this by storing in a Portable Electronic Device or similar device a library of listening experiences, listening to one of the listening experiences, and while listening to that one listening experience streaming the one listening experience to at least one other Portable Electronic Device or similar device. A second listener at the other Portable Electronic Device can then listen to the same listening experience as the first listener at the same time. It is expected that the listening experiences will typically be songs or other music but the invention may be practiced with any type of audio content. The first listener may also create a playlist of the listening experiences in the library and make the playlist available to others.
