  • Patent number: 12646253
    Abstract: A method of generating a three-dimensional (3D) model includes obtaining a set of two-dimensional (2D) images of a scene acquired by one or more cameras from a plurality of camera angles at a plurality of camera positions. Each 2D image corresponds to a respective camera angle and a respective camera position. The method further includes obtaining the respective camera angle and the respective camera position for each 2D image, and generating one or more semantic masks from the set of 2D images. Each semantic mask corresponds to a class of one or more objects in the scene. The method further includes training a neural radiance field (NeRF) model, using the set of 2D images and the one or more semantic masks as a training dataset, to obtain a trained NeRF model. The trained NeRF model is an implicit 3D model of the one or more objects in the scene.

  • Patent number: 10938975
    Abstract: A calling user initiates a telephonic communication with a receiving user by dialing a phone number of the receiving user in his or her address book. The communication is transmitted from the calling user's device to the receiving user's device through a network that is not using Internet protocol or Internet-based, e.g., Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Internet Protocol (IP), TCP-IP, or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). After a number of notifications has passed on the receiving user's device and the receiving user is not able to answer the telephonic communication, a local voicemail recorder will be activated to record and store the telephonic communication for later retrieval by the receiving user. The stored communication is identifier by a sequence of string containing at least one of a name, a telephone number, a storage location, a date-time attribute, and a duration associated with the stored communication.

  • Patent number: 10931712
    Abstract: A method and associated circuits protect data stored in a secure data circuit of a telecommunication device equipped with a near-field communication (NFC) router, a microcontroller, and the secure data circuit. In the method, each message received with the NFC router is parsed to retrieve a communication pipe identifier and an instruction code. The communication pipe identifier and the instruction code are compared to corresponding information in a filter table. Instruction codes of particular messages that attempt to modify a communication pipe by reassigning one end of the communication pipe from the port of the NFC router to a different circuit are acted upon. These messages are blocked from reaching the secure data circuit when the instruction code is not authorized in the filter table, and these messages are permitted when the instruction code is authorized in the filter table.

  • Patent number: 10911897
    Abstract: A system for automatically ascertaining the location of wireless functional devices, such as lights and switches, in a building. Information from the devices is generated by receipt of electromagnetic signals from other devices, to calculate a best fit for the relative location of the devices in relation to each other. Preferably a map of the building is adduced to refine the location process, for instance by tying the location of a light switch to a wall or a light to a ceiling. The information is used to ascertain that, for example, two devices are in the same room and can be associated with each other. Account can be taken of variable features of the building such as partition walls, to update device settings. There is thus no need to survey the building manually.

  • Patent number: 10901065
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for location determination of an emitter using frequency-of-arrival (FOA) measured from a single moving platform are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a disclosed system allows for location determination of stationary, pulsed radio frequency (RF) emitters from a moving platform by using coherent frequency of arrival (CFOA) Doppler history measurements. The term “coherent” is used to indicate that the process requires a RF-coherent pulse train, such as that generated by modern radar. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed system employs one of two disclosed CFOA measurement methods (Method 1: CFOA linear regression of phase (LRP), and Method 2: CFOA cross-correlated frequency spectra (CCFS)). The disclosed system also enables geo-discrimination (GeoD) of emitters at known locations, or alternatively geo-location of emitters at unknown locations.
