Publication number: 20240135139Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing a traditional computer vision algorithm as a neural network. The method includes: receiving a definition of the traditional computer vision algorithm that identifies a sequence of one or more traditional computer vision algorithm operations; mapping each of the one or more traditional computer vision algorithm operations to a set of one or more neural network primitives that is mathematically equivalent to that traditional computer vision algorithm operation; linking the one or more network primitives mapped to each traditional computer vision algorithm operation according to the sequence to form a neural network representing the traditional computer vision algorithm; and configuring hardware logic capable of implementing a neural network to implement the neural network that represents the traditional computer vision algorithm.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Paul Brasnett, Daniel Valdez Balderas, Cagatay Dikici, Szabolcs Csefalvay, David Hough, Timothy Smith, James Imber

Patent number: 7730067Abstract: Database interaction is facilitated by graphically presenting database objects in groups that are not necessarily dictated by object types of the database objects. In an example implementation, database navigation is facilitated by determining object dependency groups for a database in which each object dependency group corresponds to a database source object and includes at least those database objects that depend directly or indirectly from the corresponding database source object. When these data source object-based dependency groups are graphically displayed, selecting a database object thereof provides access thereto. In another example implementation, a user can designate an attribute associated with database objects by which the database objects are to be grouped. Thus, the database objects are grouped by various values that the user-designated associated attribute takes.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2004Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael J McCormack, Christopher W. Bryant, Robert E Coggins, Scott T. Gardner, Theresa A Naramore, Daniel Hough, Kelly M Krout, Clinton D Covington

Patent number: 7484180Abstract: A one-screen entry point to a document management program (“program”) is provided to allow a user to browse templates associated with the program. The templates can be local templates and/or online templates provided by one or more Web services. The one-screen entry point allows a user to search, browse, or download online templates, and/or create documents using the templates. Each template is identified with a template category and displayed together with templates identified with the same template category. Local templates are presented along with online templates if the local templates and the online templates are identified with the same online template category. A user or an administrator of the program can create and/or customize local templates and local template categories. A blank template is provided so a user can create custom documents for the program.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2005Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael J. McCormack, Christopher W. Bryant, George Fordham, Jonathan A. McPherson, Scott T. Gardner, Clinton Dee Covington, Daniel Hough
