Patent number: 12682176Abstract: A system and method for real-time team intent modeling using persistent cognitive machines with federated human profiles which processes individual team member behavioral signals through geometric intent analyzers that generate high-dimensional vector representations of individual objectives and preferences. A team intent orchestrator aggregates individual vectors into collective representations within a dynamic geometric manifold that evolves based on team coordination patterns. Federated human profiles enable privacy-preserving knowledge sharing across teams through geometric abstraction techniques that preserve coordination utility while protecting individual privacy. The system implements proactive conflict detection through trajectory analysis that identifies potential coordination issues before performance impact, and provides real-time synchronization mechanisms that maintain team coordination coherence despite individual behavioral changes.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2025Date of Patent: July 14, 2026Assignee: ATOMBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventor: Brian Galvin

Patent number: 12657384Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums for utilizing context information to create decoding feedback information to improve decoder accuracy and/or performance. In some examples, the context information is from layers of a network stack above the layers in which the decoders are present. The context information may be or be based upon information about previously received and decoded data and/or information about the sender to provide decoding feedback information to the decoder that is used either to correct a previous decoding error or to inform the decoder on which of a plurality of decoding choices is more likely to be correct. This may increase decoding performance by decreasing errors and in some examples, reducing the complexity of choices by eliminating certain decoding possibilities and thus increasing decoder efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2023Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Amer Aref Hassan, Mahendra D.

Patent number: 12651125Abstract: A system and methods for latent contextual threading for personalized dialogue through geometric manifold-based conversation management. The system maintains a personalized cognitive manifold as a geometric manifold in latent space that encodes user-specific dialogue patterns as navigable geometric structures. Multiple dialogue contexts are maintained as geometric trajectories within the manifold, with dialogue responses generated through manifold traversal rather than discrete context retrieval. A bidirectional adaptation system modifies the manifold's geometric structure based on user interactions. The system preserves dialogue continuity across session boundaries by serializing manifold geometry during session termination and restoring geometric positioning during session resumption. Dialogue coherence is evaluated through geometric analysis including curvature calculations and geodesic deviation measurements.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2025Date of Patent: June 9, 2026Assignee: ATOMBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventor: Brian Galvin
