Publication number: 20240145047Abstract: Data related to the adherence of a patient to a therapy regime can be collected from multiple medical devices, each of which may have an incomplete data set with data entries associated with times. Each incomplete data set represents a portion of a complete data set. The data sets can be integrated to create a complete data set with data entries from each incomplete data set being arranged in a temporal sequence with respect to one another. A report may be generated, the report having the data entries of the complete data set or a function of the data entries of the complete data set.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Adam John Darby, Donald Roy Kuriger, Bernhard Florian Lamprecht, Mark Samuel Hamilton, Alex Young, Benjamin Wilson Casse

Patent number: 11967024Abstract: A technique is described for extracting or constructing a three-dimensional (3D) model from multiple two-dimensional (2D) images. In an embodiment, a foreground segmentation mask or depth field may be provided as an additional supervision input with each 2D image. In an embodiment, the foreground segmentation mask or depth field is automatically generated for each 2D image. The constructed 3D model comprises a triangular mesh topology, materials, and environment lighting. The constructed 3D model is represented in a format that can be directly edited and/or rendered by conventional application programs, such as digital content creation (DCC) tools. For example, the constructed 3D model may be represented as a triangular surface mesh (with arbitrary topology), a set of 2D textures representing spatially-varying material parameters, and an environment map. Furthermore, the constructed 3D model may be included in 3D scenes and interacts realistically with other objects.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Carl Jacob Munkberg, Jon Niklas Theodor Hasselgren, Tianchang Shen, Jun Gao, Wenzheng Chen, Alex John Bauld Evans, Thomas Müller-Höhne, Sanja Fidler

Publication number: 20230412572Abstract: Information is provided to a service mesh by a Kubernetes (K8s) controller. The information enables the service mesh to determine an IP address of application pods to which a monitoring request is destined. The K8s controller detects which of the application pods are scheduled to be monitored by the monitoring service. The K8s controller creates dummy headless services that match the application pods scheduled to be monitored. The service mesh is programmed information from the dummy headless services to cause the service mesh to intercept the monitoring request and identify that the monitoring request is destined to the dummy headless service based on the addresses. In response the service mesh encrypts the monitoring request.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: James Warren TURNER, Christopher James PATERSON, Alex John HOCKEY

Publication number: 20230353392Abstract: A method of processing traffic to provide a service is described. A first service mesh in a first cluster is used to ensure traffic is communicated within the first cluster using a secure communications protocol with mutual authentication accomplished using a certificate chain having a root certificate. A client in the first cluster originates traffic to a second cluster for processing, the second cluster having access to the root certificate. Using the first service mesh, routing the traffic to the second cluster is done using a secure communications protocol with mutual authentication. Mutual authentication is carried out between the first cluster and the second cluster using certificate chains having the root certificate; and in response to the mutual authentication being successful, application data is routed to the second cluster using the secure communications protocol such that the application data may be processed at the second cluster to provide the service.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Alex John HOCKEY, James Warren TURNER

Publication number: 20230353564Abstract: Using a service mesh in a cluster of a communications network to carry out mutual authentication between a session initiation protocol SIP compliant application in the cluster and a SIP device external to the cluster is described. The mutual authentication is accomplished using a certificate of the application that matches a naming system name used for the application. In response to the mutual authentication succeeding, a secure communication session is established between the application and the SIP device external to the cluster. The method comprises modifying SIP messages originating from the application to indicate that a secure communications protocol is in use. The modified SIP message are sent to the SIP device external to the cluster over the secure communication session.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Alex John HOCKEY, Mark Lawrence THEBRIDGE
