Patent number: 12039760Abstract: Technology is described for generating a modified logo using popular colors of a logo file to be used in electronic promotional pages. In addition, options selected by a user, the color of the logo itself and attributes of the electronic promotional pages can be used to filter electronic promotional pages provided. One method may be the operation of detecting a hue, saturation and luminance (HSL) in pixels of a logo file. Another operation may be clustering of the pixels from the logo file into groups based on hue, saturation and luminance (HSL). The colors in the color clusters may be weighted based on area of the logo file occupied by a color. Colors that exceed a defined weighting percentage may be selected as a popular color. Any repeated popular colors may be removed. Then a modified logo may be generated using the popular color selected.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2022Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Hub Promotional GroupInventors: Oscar Castellanos, Peter Rodinis

Patent number: 12032048Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for optimizing a sub-sampling pattern for efficient capture of a sub-sampled image to be reconstructed to form a high-resolution image, in a data-driven fashion. For example, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans can be accelerated by under-sampling in k-space (i.e., the Fourier domain). Since the reconstruction model's success depends on the sub-sampling pattern, optimization of the sub-sampling pattern can be combined with optimization of the model, for a given sparsity constraint, using an end-to-end learning operation. A machine-learning model may be trained using full-resolution training data that are under-sampled retrospectively, yielding a sub-sampling pattern and reconstruction model that are customized to the type of images represented in the training data.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Cornell UniversityInventors: Mert R. Sabuncu, Cagla D Bahadir
