Patent number: 11992340Abstract: A wellness evaluation system may determine, based on data generated by a first set of sensors powered by one or more batteries of one or more ear-wearable devices, that a user of the one or more ear-wearable devices is currently in an environment that includes human-directed communication signals. If so, a second set of sensors may be activated such that the one or more batteries provides an increased amount of power to the second set of sensors. Furthermore, the wellness evaluation system may determine based on data generated by the second set of sensors, whether the user has satisfied a target level of a wellness measure. If the user has not satisfied the target level of the wellness measure, the wellness evaluation system may perform an action to encourage the user to perform one or more activities to increase an achieved level of the wellness measure.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Starkey Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Jingjing Xu, Justin Burwinkel, Kenneth Jensen, Jason Galster, Sahar Akram, Adriana Goyette

Publication number: 20240112088Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vector-quantized image modeling using vision transformers and improved codebook handling. In particular, the present disclosure provides a Vector-quantized Image Modeling (VIM) approach that involves pretraining a machine learning model (e.g., Transformer model) to predict rasterized image tokens autoregressively. The discrete image tokens can be encoded from a learned Vision-Transformer-based VQGAN (example implementations of which can be referred to as ViT-VQGAN). The present disclosure proposes multiple improvements over vanilla VQGAN from architecture to codebook learning, yielding better efficiency and reconstruction fidelity. The improved ViT-VQGAN further improves vector-quantized image modeling tasks, including unconditional image generation, conditioned image generation (e.g., class-conditioned image generation), and unsupervised representation learning.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Jiahui Yu, Xin Li, Han Zhang, Vijay Vasudevan, Alexander Yeong-Shiuh Ku, Jason Michael Baldridge, Yuanzhong Xu, Jing Yu Koh, Thang Minh Luong, Gunjan Baid, Zirui Wang, Yonghui Wu

Patent number: 11930988Abstract: In general, the present disclosure is directed to a hand-held surface cleaning device that includes a relatively compact form-factor to allow users to store the same in a nearby location (e.g., in a drawer, in an associated charging dock, on a table top) for easy access to perform relatively small cleaning tasks that would otherwise require retrieving a full-size vacuum from storage. A hand-held surface cleaning device consistent with aspects of the present disclosure includes a body (or body portion) with a motor, power source and dust cup disposed therein. The body portion also functions as a handgrip to allow the hand-held surface cleaning device to be operated by one hand, for example.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: SharkNinja Operating LLCInventors: Daniel Tonderys, Andre D.

Publication number: 20160007914Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods of monitoring and reducing snore are discussed herein. Some embodiments may provide for a system including a snore detection module, a movement detection module, a control module, and an actuation module. The snore detection module may be configured to detect snore, such as by detecting vibrations caused by snoring. When snoring is detected, the control module may be configured to instruct the actuation module to apply stimulation to the user that is calibrated to cause the user to shift sleeping position without disturbing sleep. The movement detection module may be configured to monitor user movement. If the user fails to move in response to the actuation, the actuation module may increase the intensity of the actuation. If the user responds to the actuation, the process may be repeated after a predetermined delay to provide continuous snore monitoring and correction throughout user sleep.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2015Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventors: Jason Xu, Hongpeng Wang, Heng Cao, David Peng Xu, Cien Shen
