  • Patent number: 11494550
    Abstract: An ultrasound point-of-care system receives a worksheet from a worksheet server. The worksheet is encoded as HTML that is configured to be rendered by a browser component of system software. One or more predefined JavaScript functions in the HTML provide information that is entered by a user into the worksheet and meta-data about the worksheet. System software on the medical device uses an intermediate component or code insertion to execute the JavaScript functions to retrieve the entered information and the meta-data. The system software stores the information locally and packages the retrieved information and meta-data as a DICOM file for transmission to the worksheet server when a computer communication connection to the worksheet server becomes available.

  • Patent number: 11488213
    Abstract: A seemingly infinite and continuous stream of online content can be tracked by a movement tracker that can track an amount of movement of a stream of content. For example, such a movement tracker can track the amount of movement per session of a client-side application, such as per session of a web browser. In an example, the tracking of the movement can occur by tracking a measurable parameter of the stream that indicates the amount of movement, such as scroll distance. The movement tracker may also be configured to determine user interaction data according to the tracked amount of movement.

  • Patent number: 11475371
    Abstract: A learned model integration method for integrating multiple different learned models obtained by letting a learning model learn a predetermined data group, the learning model having a tree structure in which multiple nodes associated with respective hierarchically divided state spaces are hierarchically arranged, the method includes: a data reading step of reading data related to the multiple different learned models from a predetermined memory unit; and an integrating step in which, for each node constituting a tree structure related to the multiple different learned models, when a node exists in only one learned model, the node is duplicated, and when nodes exist in corresponding positions in the multiple learned models, the corresponding nodes are integrated, thereby integrating the multiple different learned models into a single learned model.

  • Patent number: 11468677
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems provide user interfaces that allow users to review search results, pinpoint relevant portions of media content items where the identified objects are determined to be present, review detector performance and retrain detectors, providing search result feedback, and/or reviewing video monitoring results and analytics.

  • Patent number: 11468126
    Abstract: A method for collecting a component model in a component e-commerce platform includes: S1: adding preset hyperlinks to component models in a PDF file of the web server; S2: downloading the PDF file from the web server, clicking one preset hyperlink in the downloaded PDF file to jump to a corresponding webpage, and displaying collection information when the web server identifies a link type; and S3: if a collect instruction is received, converting information of the component models included in the preset hyperlinks, and saving the component model information obtained by the conversion into a user personal account. This method allows the user to quickly return from off-line use of the PDF file back to a webpage on which a component model is present, and displays collection information to allow the user to timely collect component information thus improving the user experience of use.

  • Patent number: 11438241
    Abstract: A system for visualizing and navigating network data may include at least one computing device that receives input data using a NetTree application. The NetTree application may parse the input data and determine a list of nodes in a network and a list of links between nodes in the network from the input data. One of the nodes may be selected as a start node and inserted into a line of a network tree. After selecting the start node, the NetTree application may iterate through each of the links between the nodes in the network and add each new node that is not yet added to the network tree to a list of nodes to check for their links. Each link is added to a line in the network tree. A graphical user interface (GUI) may display the network tree.

  • Patent number: 11436405
    Abstract: A method for rendering linked content in a first document is described. A first user entry of a first link in the first document is received at a computing device. The first link refers to a first set of content having a source location that is external to the first user entry. The first set of content is displayed with a first display format of the source location in a user interface that displays the first document. Displaying the first set of content includes retrieving, by the computing device, the first set of content using the first link. Displaying the first set of content also includes updating the user interface to display both the first set of content and a second set of content that is distinct from the first set of content.
