Patent number: 11188850Abstract: Existing methods for analyzing person-specific ‘connectomes’ are not computationally equipped for scalable, flexible, and integrated processing across multiple network resolutions and drawing from disparate data modalities-a major roadblock to utilizing ensembles and hierarchies of connectomes to solve person-specific machine-learning problems. The processes implemented in software described herein consists of an end-to-end pipeline for deploying ensembles and hierarchies of network-generating workflows that can utilize multimodal, person-specific data to sample networks, extracted from that data, across a grid of network-defining hyperparameters. In essence, this pipeline enables users to perform ensemble sampling of connectomes for given individual(s) based on any input phenotypic datatype, constructed from any data modality or hierarchy of modalities at any scale, and based on any set of network-defining hyperparameters.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Inventor: Derek Alexander Pisner

Patent number: 11175876Abstract: Multiple display infotainment systems in vehicles provide various options for drivers and passengers to interact with elements on the multiple displays. Techniques include accessing historical driver information that includes previous or typical driver preferences and actions while operating the vehicle. Driving context information and driver state information are received describing the conditions in and around the vehicle. When a signal indicates that an interactive element should be presented to the driver or a passenger, an adaptive rule-based system uses the contextual information and previous history to determine a score for each interaction element. The score and they type of interaction required by the element are then used to determine a location on the multiple displays for presenting the interactive element.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Fling Tseng, Aed M.

Patent number: 11137985Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically generating stencils for content of a user interface (UI) to be rendered. A computer system receives information specifying content of a user interface (UI) to be rendered. Based on this information, the computer system identifies one or more bounding regions of content within the UI, including analyzing metadata and a rendered version of the UI. The computer system then automatically generates, one or more UI stencils based on the identified bounding regions, that are displayable as progress indicators prior to rendering corresponding UI content. Once it has generated the stencils, the computer system stores information specifying the one or more UI stencils for use in the UI. Automatically generating stencils for UIs may advantageously reduce the time gap from development to deployment of these UIs while improving their perceived performance and, by extension, improving user experience.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Owen Winne Schoppe, Brian J.
