Patent number: 11664091Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for encoding and decoding data from genetic traits. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of encoding data from genetic traits. The method comprises encoding genetic traits information, including using quantum dot wavelengths to identify distinct genetic traits, and using numbers of the quantum dots to represent probabilities associated with the traits. In an embodiment, the invention provides a genetic characteristics decoding system for decoding genetic information encoded using quantum dots in a carrier. The decoding system comprises a light source for charging the quantum dots in the carrier; a scanner for scanning the carrier to retrieve information from the charged quantum dots; and a processing system for processing the retrieved information to determine quantum dot wavelengths to identify distinct genetic traits, and to determine numbers of the quantum dots to identify probabilities associated with the genetic traits.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Effron Esseiva, Franz Friedrich Liebinger Portela, Roxana Monge Nunez, Edgar Adolfo Zamora Duran

Patent number: 11599084Abstract: In an approach for early notification of degradation of 3D printed parts, a processor completes an initial scan of a 3D printed part using backscatter techniques when the 3D printed part is installed and idle in the unit. A processor completes a second scan of the 3D printed part using backscatter techniques when the unit is in operation. A processor determines a baseline delta between the initial scan and the second scan. A processor performs an additional scan after a preset time interval of the 3D printed part using backscatter techniques in operation within the unit. A processor determines whether the additional scan is within the baseline delta.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Kyndryl, Inc.Inventors: Cesar Augusto Rodriguez Bravo, Franz Friedrich Liebinger Portela, David Alonso Campos Batista, Sarbajit K.

Patent number: 10712163Abstract: Data indicating current driving characteristics of a driver driving a vehicle can be received in real time. A driving profile for the driver can be determined based on the data. The driving profile can be categorized into a driving pattern category. A plurality of candidate travel routes for the driver to reach an intended destination can be identified and, for each of the candidate travel routes, a plurality of route segments can be identified. Based on the driving pattern category, a probability that the current driving characteristics of the driver will cause a traffic accident can be determined for each of the plurality of route segments. Route segments for which the probability that the current driving characteristics of the driver will cause the traffic accident exceeds a threshold value can be determined. A notification can be communicated to the driver or vehicle indicating such probability.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Franz Friedrich Liebinger Portela, Roxana Monge Nunez, Juan Gabriel Rodriguez Arguedas, Edgar Adolfo Zamora Duran

Patent number: 10621978Abstract: Systems, methods and platforms for generating and improving conversational dialogs between a computer system and a user to create more intelligent, realistic human-like conversations. The systems, methods and platforms achieve a realistic human conversation by identify parameters such as the user's culture, age and known interests, identify a corpus that contains the knowledge appropriate for achieving conversational goals to a perceived topic of interest and generate expressions into dialog that may be extracted from human generated sources. The system appropriately matches the targeted user's parameters and topic based on the input of the user initiating the dialog interaction. The system may analyze and/or record the emotion of the user, cognitive context, gestures and the user's expressions, which may be performed using one or more recording systems to increase the accuracy of topic identification and the appropriate dialog responses.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Edgar Adolfo Zamora Duran, Franz Friedrich Liebinger Portela, Yanil Zeledon, Roxana Monge Nunez
