Patent number: 11641890Abstract: From a first sensor in a set of sensors, a set of sensor measurements corresponding to a wearer of a garment is collected. Using a model and the set of sensor measurements, a performance deviation index corresponding to the wearer is determined, the performance deviation index corresponding to a deviation from a baseline performance level of the wearer. Responsive to the performance deviation index being above a threshold, a characteristic of the garment is altered.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: KYNDRYL, INC.Inventors: David Bastian, Aaron K. Baughman, Shikhar Kwatra, Todd Russell Whitman

Patent number: 11093449Abstract: A method and system for improving data storage, presentation, and manipulation is provided. The method includes receiving data from a data source and analyzing the data for data classification attributes. A data set associated with a data classification attribute is selected and a data texture characteristic for association with said data set is received. The data texture characteristic is associated with the data set and a data texture representation associated with the data texture characteristic is presented via a haptic hardware device. A touch-based command associated with the data set is received and a user is enabled to manipulate, transfer, and store the data set.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David Bastian, Aaron K.

Patent number: 11019123Abstract: Embodiments provide for multi-bit rate component sharding, wherein processors are configured to identify respective sizes of each of different data partitions of a totality of content data of a moving picture experts group format file, the content data including audio data or video data. The processor is configured to determine bandwidth capacities for each of different telecommunication channels that are available to send the file content data to a designated recipient device; partition the file content data into differently-sized data groups, each of including audio data or video data; and differentially rout the data groups to ones of the channels as a function of matching data group data sizes to the channel bandwidth capacities.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David Bastian, Aaron K.

Patent number: 10666954Abstract: A method and system for improving audio and video multimedia modification and presentation is provided. The method includes receiving an audio/video stream and analyzing objects of the audio/video stream for generating predictions with respect to the objects. Component analysis code is executed with respect to the audio/video stream and an object is removed from the audio/video stream resulting in a modified audio/video stream being generated thereby reducing hardware storage and transfer size requirements of the audio/video stream. The modified audio/video stream is presented to a user via a graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David Bastian, Aaron K.
