  • Patent number: 12272017
    Abstract: A method of generating a custom three-dimensional (3D) model of a patient bone from one or more 2D images is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a 2D image of a bone, optionally of a joint, and identifying a 3D bone template for a candidate or representative bone from a pre-aligned library of representative bones. The method further includes repositioning one or more views of the 3D model or 2D images (e.g., with respect to rotation angle or caudal angle). In an iterative process, another 3D bone model for another candidate bone can be identified based on the repositioning until an accuracy threshold is satisfied. When the accuracy threshold is satisfied, surface region(s) of the current 3D bone model can then be modified to generate the resulting 3D model for the patient bone. The process can then be repeated for other bone(s) associated with the joint of the patient.

  • 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: 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: 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.
