Patent number: 11968527Abstract: Prior to associating with a wireless network, a wireless device receives from a network access point, a message containing information identifying (i) identity of the network and (ii) network policies; retrieves the information from the message; based on the network identity, determines whether a network attributes record for the network already exists in the device. If not, the device creates a temporary network attributes record for the network. Based on the network policies, the device attempts to associate to and authenticate the network. After successfully associating to and authenticating the network, the device determines whether the network attributes record for the network has expired. If not, the device renews the network attributes record and implements the network policies stored in the network attributes record If the network attributes record has expired, then the device deletes the network attributes record and implements default network policies for the wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: William Logan, Loay Kreishan

Patent number: 11961331Abstract: A first computing device acquires video data representing a user performing an activity. The first device uses a first pose extraction algorithm to determine a pose of the user within a frame of video data. If the pose is determined to be potentially inaccurate, the user is prompted for authorization to send the frame of video data to a second computing device. If authorization is granted, the second computing device may use a different algorithm to determine a pose of the user and send data indicative of this pose to the first computing device to enable the first computing device to update a score or other output. The second computing device may also use the frame of video data as training data to retrain or modify the first pose extraction algorithm, and may send the modified algorithm to the first computing device for future use.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Ido Yerushalmy, Michael Chertok, Sharon Alpert

Patent number: 11948283Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods that provide for improved computer aided display and analysis of nuclear medicine images. In particular, the systems and methods described herein offer improved interactive adjustment of intensity windowing for display of nuclear medicine images. The interactive intensity window selection tools described herein utilize a nonlinear scaling function that maps user adjustments to positions of displayed indicator widgets on a scale to intensity window thresholds. The form of the scaling function increasingly magnifies user adjustments at the upper range of the scale, but remains linear at the lower end. The intensity windowing tools presented herein allow the user to adjust intensity thresholds over a full range of intensities encountered in an image, up to the maximum value, while still preserving fidelity in an important range that includes lower intensities.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventor: Karl Vilhelm Sjöstrand
