Publication number: 20230129428Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting udder disease based on machine learning methods and complementary supporting techniques are presented. Included are methods for assembling time sequences of images of each animal of a herd or set for subsequent use in per-animal image analysis for disease detection. Methods presented also include image pre-processing methods used prior to image analysis, resulting in contrast and resolution optimization such as appropriate image intensity level adjustment and resolution downsampling for more rapid and more accurate disease detection. Combinatorial techniques for compositing whole-udder images or udder-quarter images from partial images captures are described. Methods are provided for power usage optimization in regard to computing resources used in the computing-intensive AI analysis methods. Location-based and animal history-based detection refinements are incorporated into described systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Applicant: EIO Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: Cory Spencer, Damir Wallener, Jeff Sember

Patent number: 10460679Abstract: Power levels of a backlight are adjusted in a number of ways and based on a number of criteria. The adjustments result in a lower power consumption and, in some cases, may enhance audience attention to important objects in a scene. The adjustments comprise, for example, a combination of ramping down power (lowering final display brightness) in concert with corresponding compensatory LCD adjustments (increasing final display brightness). The adjustments may also include, for example, system dimming after ramp down/LCD adjustments are exhausted, or the shifting of an LDR2HDR curve.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Damir Wallener, Neil W.

Patent number: 9964803Abstract: Light sources of a backlight are configured to customize the shape of light emitted from the clusters. The clusters are activated as a unit and modulated as to brightness, but of the customized shape. All clusters can have a similar customized PSF, or the customization of each cluster may be varied in real time. Real time changes of a clusters PSF may be based, for example, an image or a region of the image to be displayed using the clusters.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2017Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventor: Damir Wallener

Patent number: 9770143Abstract: This disclosure relates to a dispenser which in one embodiment is a motorized electric dispenser that reliably detects a request for a portion of product and electromechanically dispenses a pre-determined length of product to the user, without the user needing to directly touch any part of the dispenser. The dispenser comprises a product path passing between an engagement opening and a capacitive sensor. A controller is operatively configured to identify a dispense request based upon a detection signal received from the capacitive sensor and activate a drive motor upon the identification of the dispense request. The dispense request is defined as an introduction of a user target within an introduction threshold distance from the capacitive sensor followed by a removal of the user target beyond a removal threshold distance away from the capacitive sensor.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: DISPENSING DYNAMICS INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Lockland Corley, Andrew Jackman, Alex Trampolski, Richard Ybo Lalau, Damir Wallener

Patent number: 8994615Abstract: A method for driving a solid-state illumination source to emit light having a brightness determined by a control value involves selecting a control mode based at least in part on the control value. In one embodiment a constant current is supplied to the solid-state illumination source for control values in a low range, a frequency-modulated (FM) current is supplied to the solid-state illumination source for control values in a mid range and a pulse-with modulation (PWM) current is supplied to the solid-state illumination source for control values in an upper range.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2009Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Neil Messmer, Damir Wallener

Publication number: 20140249979Abstract: Handling is expedited for electronic financial service messages, particularly those destined for an exchange 60 or other trading venue. Messages are parsed into two informational components, with the first component requiring computations that must happen extremely fast and the second component requiring state updates, for example, that can happen on a longer timeframe. Real-time balancing of optimizing throughput versus optimizing latency is achieved for financial message handling. The system allows for the automatic switching between the two methods of optimization based on either user controlled or independently controlled message rate thresholds.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2013Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: SECODIX CORPORATIONInventors: Damir Wallener, Lewis Johnson, Brendan Tonner, Ken Unger

Patent number: 8681189Abstract: Systems and methods of image processing are provided for a display having a light source modulation layer and a display modulation layer. A section of a perceptual curve, such as a DICOM curve, is extracted for each frame of image data, based on a profile of expected luminance on the display modulation layer from light emitted by the light source modulation layer. The section of the perceptual curve may be used to determine a desired-total response curve which maps display modulation layer input control values to corresponding output luminance values. The desired-total response curve and a display modulator-specific response curve may be applied to image data to generate control values for driving the display modulation layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2009Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Damir Wallener, Lewis Johnson
