  • Patent number: 11983318
    Abstract: A retinal imaging system includes a projector, an imaging device, and a controller coupled to an eye tracking system under test. The projector emits a light pattern to be delivered to a pupil of an eye, a location of the pupil being estimated by the eye tracking system under test. The imaging device captures one or more images of a retina of the eye illuminated with at least a portion of the light pattern. The controller determines one or more eye tracking parameters based on the captured one or more images of the retina. The controller compares each determined eye tracking parameter with each of estimated one or more eye tracking parameters, wherein values for the one or more eye tracking parameters are estimated by the eye tracking system under test. The controller characterizes each estimated eye tracking parameter based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11983223
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of constructing a finite automaton using regular expression derivatives to simulate behavior of a backtracking engine. The behavior indicates an order in which paths in an input regular expression are to be evaluated by the backtracking engine. The finite automaton is constructed to include a graph that includes a root node that represents the input regular expression. Regular expressions are derived such that each derived regular expression is a regular expression derivative of the input regular expression or of another derived regular expression. Priorities are assigned to alternations in the derived regular expressions to correspond to priorities indicated by the behavior. Nodes that represent the respective derived regular expressions and transitions between respective pairs of nodes are caused to be included in the graph. Priorities, which correspond to the order, are assigned to respective branches of the graph.

  • Patent number: 11980476
    Abstract: A method for detecting an artificially induced neuromuscular response in a subject includes receiving a mechanomyography (MMG) output signal from a mechanical sensor in contact with a muscle of the subject; applying one or more conditioning filters to the MMG output signal to generate a conditioned signal and analyzing the conditioned signal to identify one or more candidate waveforms. Each candidate waveform meets one or more analog or digital signal characteristic criteria associated with an artificially induced neuromuscular response. The method then compares a first candidate waveform to a second candidate waveform to determine a degree of similarity between the first and second candidate waveforms, and provides an alert to a user that indicates detection of the artificially induced neuromuscular response when the degree of similarity exceeds a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11983512
    Abstract: Provided is an architecture for creation and management of data pipelines. A user action designer tool renders a user interface on a user device and records user actions performed on the user interface. The user actions include selection of pipeline stages to be included in a data pipeline and selection of a technology for each pipeline stage. A pipeline definition for the data pipeline is generated based on the user actions. A user action script compiler generates a user action script based on the pipeline definition. An orchestrator communicates sections of the user action script to gentech script generators. Each gentech script generator generates a set of gentech scripts. Each set of gentech scripts is communicated to an interpreter for the technology selected for a corresponding pipeline stage. Each pipeline stage is executed by a corresponding technology based on technology-specific scripts generated by a corresponding technology-specific interpreter.

  • Patent number: 11985507
    Abstract: A method of computer authentication of a user request for a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card transfer by a biometric signature from a user equipment (UE) comprising assigning a risk score, by a mobile service provider, to a user account based on user activity in the user account, wherein the user activity includes a SIM card transfer authorization. The mobile service provider then sends a message requesting a biometric signature from an authentication application executing in memory on the UE. The authentication application on the UE then proceeds capturing a biometric signature, encrypting the biometric signature, and sending an encrypted biometric signature to the mobile service provider using a wireless communication protocol. The mobile service provider then compares the biometric signature to an authorized signature and modifies the risk score based on the comparison.
