Patent number: 11995771Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for automatically assigning weights to vertices of a skin or mesh that control how said vertices in the 3D model move under the influence of skeletal rotation and translation. A computing device can receive a first model weightings matrix. Next, the computing device can include adjusting the number of rows in the first model weightings matrix to generate an adjusted model weightings matrix with a number of rows that matches an input number of rows for a machine-learning model, each row in the adjusted model weightings matrix representing a vertex of a mesh applied to a three-dimensional model. Then, the computing device can apply the machine learning model to the adjusted model weightings matrix, to generate an output polygonal mesh model weightings matrix.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.Inventors: John L.

Publication number: 20240154969Abstract: Systems and methods are described for pre-authentication access request screening. A server computer may receive a request for access to a resource comprising access data. The server computer may transmit, to an authentication computer, an authentication request message comprising at least a subset of the access data and receive an authentication response message comprising authentication data. The server computer may determine an access score based on the authentication data. Alternatively, the server computer may determine the access score based on the access data without using/receiving authorization data. The server computer may generate an access indicator based on the access score. The server computer may prepare and transmit an authorization request message comprising the access indicator to an authorization computer.

Patent number: 11920188Abstract: Provided herein is a method for detecting the presence of clade variants in the COVID-19 virus in a human sample and/or an environmental sample. Samples are processed to obtain total RNA. The RNA is used as a template in a combined reverse transcription and amplification reaction to obtain fluorescent COVID-19 virus amplicons. These amplicons are hybridized on a microarray with nucleic acid probes having sequences that discriminate among the various clade variants. The microarray is imaged to detect the clade variant. Also provided is a method of distinguishing each clade variant from others by generating an intensity distribution profile from the image, which is unique to each of the clade variants.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Inventors: Frederick Henry Eggers, Benjamin Alan Katchman, Fushi Wen, Candy Mavis Rivas, Cory Scott Newland, Michael Edward Hogan
