  • Patent number: 11941172
    Abstract: A method for training an eye tracking model is disclosed, as well as a corresponding system and storage medium. The eye tracking model is adapted to predict eye tracking data based on sensor data from a first eye tracking sensor. The method comprises receiving sensor data obtained by the first eye tracking sensor at a time instance and receiving reference eye tracking data for the time instance generated by an eye tracking system comprising a second eye tracking sensor. The reference eye tracking data is generated by the eye tracking system based on sensor data obtained by the second eye tracking sensor at the time instance. The method comprises training the eye tracking model based on the sensor data obtained by the first eye tracking sensor at the time instance and the generated reference eye tracking data.

  • Patent number: 11561011
    Abstract: A rack for a cooking appliance includes a perimeter rim that has a first end, a second end, a first side rail, and a second side rail. A plurality of spaced rails are disposed between each of the first and second rails and the first and second ends of the perimeter rim. An elongated member is operably coupled to the perimeter rim and is proximate to the plurality of spaced rails. A crossbar is disposed proximate to the elongated member. The crossbar defines an opening directly behind the elongated member along a length of the elongated member and a length of the crossbar.

  • Patent number: 11301677
    Abstract: There is disclosed a computer implemented eye tracking system and corresponding method and computer readable storage medium, for detecting three dimensional, 3D, gaze, by obtaining at least one head pose parameter using a head pose prediction algorithm, the head pose parameter(s) comprising one or more of a head position, pitch, yaw, or roll; and to input the at least one head pose parameter along with at least one image of a user's eye, generated from a 2D image captured using an image sensor associated with the eye tracking system, into a neural network configured to generate 3D gaze information based on the at least one head pose parameter and the at least one eye image.
