  • Patent number: 12267109
    Abstract: The systems, apparatuses and methods of the present invention set forth improvements to the problems of the current pairing or duplex paradigm, resulting in a dramatic increase in fiber transmission efficiency, accomplished explicitly by restructuring presently-aligned C-Band wavelengths into innovative DWDM transmit and receive formats, and through implementing photonic-wave changes, which directs Ethernet data flow onto new path adaptations. These improvements could reduce line haul expenses significantly, believed to reach a projected 50% less requirement/deployment of fiber strands. This saving would offer owner-operators substantial fiber strand cost reductions, affecting transportation rates of high-bandwidth digital payloads traversing over DWDM networks, and lower usage rates of cross-connections amid multiple equipment inter-exchanging throughout large data centers.

  • Patent number: 12260573
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for improving upon the usage of Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) supervision to perform image depth estimation. The techniques use a generator and adversary network to generate respective models that “compete” against one another to enable the generator model to output a desired output image that compensates for a LIDAR image having a structured or lined data pattern. The techniques described herein may be suitable for use by vehicles and/or other agents operating in a particular environment as part of machine vision algorithms that are implemented to perform autonomous and/or semi-autonomous functions.

  • Patent number: 12248412
    Abstract: A system having multiple devices that can host different versions of an artificial neural network (ANN) as well as different versions of a feature dictionary. In the system, encoded inputs for the ANN can be decoded by the feature dictionary, which allows for encoded input to be sent to a master version of the ANN over a network instead of an original version of the input which usually includes more data than the encoded input. Thus, by using the feature dictionary for training of a master ANN there can be reduction of data transmission.

  • Patent number: 12248796
    Abstract: This disclosure describes one or more implementations of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that perform language guided digital image editing utilizing a cycle-augmentation generative-adversarial neural network (CAGAN) that is augmented using a cross-modal cyclic mechanism. For example, the disclosed systems generate an editing description network that generates language embeddings which represent image transformations applied between a digital image and a modified digital image. The disclosed systems can further train a GAN to generate modified images by providing an input image and natural language embeddings generated by the editing description network (representing various modifications to the digital image from a ground truth modified image). In some instances, the disclosed systems also utilize an image request attention approach with the GAN to generate images that include adaptive edits in different spatial locations of the image.

  • Patent number: 12236691
    Abstract: An approach is provided for lane width estimation from incomplete lane marking detections of a road lane. The approach, for example, involves generating one or more perpendicular lines respectively from location centers of one or more first lane marking detections. A respective lane marking detection represents at least a portion of a boundary of the road lane as a line delimited by two location data points in accordance with detections by at least one sensor device onboard at least one vehicle. The approach also involves identifying second lane marking detections that each respectively intersect one of the one or more perpendicular lines. The approach further involves selecting one or more candidate lane widths based on one or more respective distances from the location centers to the second lane marking detections. The approach further involves determining an estimated lane width of the road lane based on the one or more candidate lane widths.

  • Patent number: 12229681
    Abstract: A trusted graph data node classification method includes: (1) inputting a topological graph and node features, and calculating a discrete Ricci curvature of the discrete topological graph; (2) preprocessing the curvature and the node features; (3) mapping the curvature, reconstructing original features, and performing a semi-supervised training on graph data containing adversarial examples; and (4) performing a classification on unlabeled nodes. The new method uses a discrete curvature to extract topological information, and uses a residual network to reconstruct node feature vectors without knowing the technical details of the adversarial examples, and without using a large number of adversarial examples for adversarial training. Hence, the system effectively defends against attacks from adversarial examples on the graph data, outperforms the existing mainstream models in terms of accuracy when used in data without adversarial examples, and is thus a trusted node classification system.

  • Patent number: 12193792
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein utilize biometric verification from wearable devices to approve access for shared spaces. Requests to occupy the shared spaces are received and conditional reservations are made pending health checks of the requesters. Prior to occupation, fresh biometric measurements are captured via the user's wearable device, which include physiological signals validating both ongoing good health as well as identity match to the original requester. When recent biometric verification indicates both healthy status and unchanged identity, access to the reserved space is approved. These embodiments securely manage reservations while protecting the health of other occupants through conditional access related to the requester's current health condition.

  • Patent number: 12190563
    Abstract: As described herein, various embodiments of the present invention disclose techniques that improve efficiency of performing image-based machine learning operations on large images while limiting accuracy drawbacks of partial processing of those large images by using composite-tiled image embeddings for composite-tiled images generated by merging multiple tiled images that are generated using multiple tiling mechanisms. For example, in some embodiments, given an input image that comprises R image regions, each tiled image comprises N selected image regions of the R image regions that are selected in accordance with a tiling mechanism (where N<R). In this way, given T tiling mechansisms, T tiled images are generated, and the T tiled images are merged to generate a composite-tiled image. Accordingly, by using T tiling mechansisms, various embodiments enable reducing the size of feature data provided to an image processing machine learning model by selecting non-holistic subsets of an input image.
