Patent number: 11968543Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing quasi-licensed spectrum access within an area or venue. In one embodiment, the quasi-licensed spectrum utilizes 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) spectrum allocated by a Federal or commercial SAS (Spectrum Access System) to a managed content delivery network that includes one or more wireless access nodes (e.g., CBSDs and APs) in data communication with a controller. In one variant, the controller dynamically allocates (i) spectrum within the area or venue within CBRS bands, and (ii) MSO users or subscribers to CBRS bands or WLAN (e.g., public ISM) bands in to manage interference between the coexisting networks, and maximize user experience. In another variant, the controller cooperates with a provisioning server to implement a client device application program or “app” on MSO user or subscriber client devices which enables inter-RAT access.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS OPERATING, LLCInventors: Don Gunasekara, Umamaheswar Kakinada, Ahmed Bencheikh, Shane Newberg

Patent number: 11954596Abstract: Techniques are provided for determining classifications based on WSIs. A varied-size feature map is generated for each training WSI by generating a grid of patches for the training WSI, segmenting the training WSI into tissue and non-tissue areas, and converting patches comprising the tissue areas into tensors. Bounding boxes are generated based on the patches comprising tissue areas and segmented into feature map patches. A fixed-size feature map is generated based on a subset of the feature map patches. A classifier model is trained to process fixed-size feature maps corresponding to the training WSIs such that, for each fixed-size feature map, the classifier model is operable to assign a WSI-level tissue or cell morphology classification or regression based on the tensors. A classification engine is configured to use the trained classifier model to determine a WSI-level tissue or cell morphology classification or regression for a test WSI.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignees: NantOmics, LLC, NantHealth, Inc.Inventors: Bing Song, Mustafa Jaber, Liudmila Beziaeva, Shahrooz Rabizadeh

Patent number: 11928849Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement an action-object interaction detection mechanism for recognizing actions in cluttered video scenes. An object bounding box is computed around an object of interest identified in a corresponding label in an initial frame where the object of interest appears in the frame. The object bounding box is propagated from the initial frame to a subsequent frame. For the initial frame and the subsequent frame: the object bounding boxes of the initial frame and the subsequent frame are refined and cropped based on the associated refined object bounding boxes. The set of cropped frames are processed to determine a probability that an action that is to be verified from the corresponding label is being performed.
