Patent number: 11455568Abstract: A device that includes a model training engine implemented by a processor. The model training engine is configured to select a first sub-string correlithm object and a second sub-string correlithm object from a set of sub-string correlithm objects. The model training engine is further configured to compute a Hamming distance between the first sub-string correlithm object and the second sub-string correlithm object and to compare the Hamming distance to a bit difference threshold value. The model training engine is further configured to determine that the Hamming distance is less than the bit difference threshold value and to compute an average of the first sub-string correlithm object and the second sub-string correlithm object in the n-dimensional space in response to the determination. The model training engine is further configured to train the machine learning model to define the average as a centroid for the first cluster.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Pankaj Panging, Patrick N.

Patent number: 11455072Abstract: A user, a manipulator such as a hand, and at least one entity such as a virtual or augmented reality object are in an interface such as a 3D environmental interface. The manipulation distance is the distance between a reference feature of the user and a manipulation feature of the manipulator. The entity distance is the distance between the reference feature and an entity feature of the entity. When the manipulation distance becomes greater than the entity distance, the entity is caused to fade, disappear, move out of the way, shrink, etc. so as to be less of an obstruction to the user's field of view, for example to avoid obstructing more distant entities. Other factors than the manipulation distance and entity distance may be considered in determining whether to reduce the obstructivity of the entity, and exceptions to the obstruction relation may be considered.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: WEST TEXAS TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS, LLCInventors: Nathan Abercrombie, Theo Goguely

Patent number: 11423077Abstract: The present invention is directed to a tool that enables songwriters to efficiently solicit and analyze listener feedback during the songwriting process. To begin, a songwriter uploads a song to an online platform. The online platform presents the song and a feedback interface to a music listener. As the song plays, the listener provides feedback about the song using the feedback interface. For example, the listener may indicate that she likes or dislikes a particular element of the song, such as an instrument, at a specific point in time. The feedback is timestamped, processed, and presented to the songwriter for analysis. Provided feedback may also be used for recommending subsequent songs to the listener. The interactive music feedback system described herein may integrate with a variety of music streaming platforms.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Inventor: Trent R McKenzie
