  • Patent number: 11972345
    Abstract: A multi-label ranking method includes receiving, at a processor and from a first set of artificial neural networks (ANNs), multiple signals representing a first set of ANN output pairs for a first label. A signal representing a second set of ANN output pairs for a second label different from the first label is received at the processor from a second set of ANNs different from the first set of ANNs, substantially concurrently with the first set of ANN output pairs. A first activation function is solved based on the first set of ANN output pairs, and a second activation function is solved based on the second set of ANN output pairs. Loss values are calculated based on the solved activations, and a mask is generated based on at least one ground truth label. A signal, including a representation of the mask, is sent from the processor to each of the sets of ANNs.

  • Publication number: 20230301763
    Abstract: A disposable dental flosser has a floss release feature that is operated with one hand. A movable section of a flosser provides a clamp that clamps one end of a length of floss. Deforming the movable section opens the clamp to release the end of the length of floss. The release of one end of the floss from the flossing device facilitates the easy removal of the floss from teeth.

  • Publication number: 20230190165
    Abstract: This method can be used to locate or identify an object in an electrically conductive medium with a detection system that comprises n electrodes in direct electrical contact with the conductive medium. The n electrodes can be placed in at least three different states: transmitting, receiving, disconnected. Before a series of measurements, the operating point of the detection system is determined according to a given a priori setpoint, or a previous configuration of the system, or a previous measurement result of one of the electrodes, by the configuration of the state of each of the electrodes, the frequency of a sinusoidal component of an electrical signal transmitted by one of the transmitting electrodes, or the amplitude of the electrical signal transmitted by one of the electrodes configured in the transmitting or receiving state.
