Publication number: 20240115953Abstract: A method of improving accessibility for the user operation of a first application on a computer includes the steps of taking one or more measurements of a current user's interaction with an application on the computer, comparing the one or more measurements with expectations derived from measurements from a first corpus of users, characterising one or more needs of the current user based upon the comparison, and modifying at least a first property of the first application responsive to the characterised need or needs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Matthew Sanders, Christopher William Henderson, Jesus Lucas Barcias, Maurizio Cerrato, Nima Karshenas, Calum Armstrong, Christopher George Buchanan

Publication number: 20240119383Abstract: An orchestration system of or otherwise available to a web platform centralizes the execution of workflow components of a workflow associated with a job posting hosted by the web platform using various software services internal and/or external to the web platform. The workflow components and attributes thereof are determined based on the job posting. Domain-specific language (DSL) instructions for the various workflow components are generated. First DSL instructions are invoked by the orchestration system to cause an execution of a first workflow component of the workflow by a first software service. The orchestration system obtains an output of the first workflow component, such as values of relevant attributes, and, based on the output and in some cases information derived other than from the first workflow component, invokes next DSL instructions to cause an execution of a next workflow component of the workflow by another software service.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: John Bowers, Xiqian Han, Quanzheng Long, Jacob Lucas, Russel Mommaerts, Jeremy Spencer, Hemant Tanwar, David Thrift, Adam Ullrich, Christopher Valencia

Patent number: 11787497Abstract: A steering system may include a seat assembly, a frame assembly and a wheel. The frame assembly may include a steering tube that is rotatably disposed within a head tube with a cam at a top end and a pair of forks at a bottom end to which is coupled an axle of the wheel. An arm may be disposed on and rotatably coupled to the seat assembly, and rotatably coupled to a left armrest and right armrest. A steering rod may be coupled to the cam and to one of the arms, the left armrest or the right armrest, such that forward movement of one of the armrests causes the steering rod to be translated forward and the cam to rotate in one direction, and backward movement of the same armrest causes the steering rod to be translated backward and the cam to rotate in an opposite direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2023Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Bike DifferentInventor: Christopher Lucas

Publication number: 20230067940Abstract: A valve assembly for an exhaust gas recirculation system includes a housing defining an inlet bore and including a second interior surface defining a housing bore. The valve assembly also includes a valve seat and a valve. The valve includes a valve stem and a valve sealing member. The valve assembly optionally includes a baffle at least partially disposed in the housing bore. A first interior radius is defined between the valve stem and the second interior surface. A second interior radius is defined between at least one of the valve stem and the second interior surface, the valve stem and the baffle, and the baffle and the second interior surface. The second interior radius is different from the first interior radius and is configured to direct the flow of the exhaust gas in the housing bore to reduce swirl of exhaust gas in the housing bore.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Sean McConnell, Martin P.

Patent number: 11348022Abstract: Methods for providing a computer implemented medical diagnosis are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an input from a user comprising at least one symptom of the user, and providing the at least one symptom as an input to a medical model. The method also includes deriving estimates of the probability of the user having a disease from the discriminative model, inputting the estimates to the inference engine, performing approximate inference on the probabilistic graphical model to obtain a prediction of the probability that the user has that disease, and outputting the probability of the user having the disease for display by a display device.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Babylon Partners LimitedInventors: Laura Helen Douglas, Pavel Myshkov, Robert Walecki, Iliyan Radev Zarov, Konstantinos Gourgoulias, Christopher Lucas, Christopher Robert Hart, Adam Philip Baker, Maneesh Sahani, Iurii Perov, Saurabh Johri
