  • Patent number: 11709192
    Abstract: In an electromagnetic environment analysis system, an image creation unit creates an image for displaying information relevant to a measurement value in a position associated with a measurement position of each of the measurement values. A partition judgment unit judges a partition corresponding to the measurement position of each of the measurement values in a plurality of partitions forming a display range of the information relevant to the measurement value in the image, based on position information. A display information determination unit determines information relevant to the display of the partition, based on the measurement value corresponding to the partition. In a case where two or more measurement values measured at timings different from each other correspond to one partition, the display information determination unit calculates a representative value from the two or more measurement values, and determines information to be displayed in the partition, based on the representative value.

  • Patent number: 11704861
    Abstract: Adaptive sampling of pixels is disclosed. In some embodiments, convergence of pixels of a rendering is evaluated by removing texture from the rendering to eliminate non-convergence due to texture complexity and determining whether pixels values satisfy convergence criteria associated with pixel sampling. Those pixels of the rendering that have not converged are sampled with one or more additional samples. The completed rendering is output. Pixels of the completed rendering satisfy the convergence criteria and are not uniformly sampled.

  • Patent number: 11694122
    Abstract: A distributed, online machine learning system is presented. Contemplated systems include many private data servers, each having local private data. Researchers can request that relevant private data servers train implementations of machine learning algorithms on their local private data without requiring de-identification of the private data or without exposing the private data to unauthorized computing systems. The private data servers also generate synthetic or proxy data according to the data distributions of the actual data. The servers then use the proxy data to train proxy models. When the proxy models are sufficiently similar to the trained actual models, the proxy data, proxy model parameters, or other learned knowledge can be transmitted to one or more non-private computing devices. The learned knowledge from many private data servers can then be aggregated into one or more trained global models without exposing private data.

  • Patent number: 11681363
    Abstract: A computing system may determine, for a current frame, a viewer's current eye position with respect to a waveguide of a display, identify eye positions that collectively form a grid of eye positions surrounding the current eye position, obtain, from a memory on the display, compressed arrays of scaling factors for correcting non-uniformities of the waveguide at the identified eye positions, perform interpolation based on the compressed arrays to generate an array of scaling factors for the current eye position, adjust pixel values of the current frame based on the customized array, and output the current frame with the adjusted pixel values to the display. The compression operation may include dithering or converting pixel values to a different color space. The interpolation may be performed on the compressed arrays or on results of a decompression operation. The customized array may be up-sampled prior to adjusting the pixel values.

  • Patent number: 11675693
    Abstract: A novel and useful neural network (NN) processing core incorporating inter-device connectivity and adapted to implement artificial neural networks (ANNs). A chip-to-chip interface spreads a given ANN model across multiple devices in a seamless manner. The NN processor is constructed from self-contained computational units organized in a hierarchical architecture. The homogeneity enables simpler management and control of similar computational units, aggregated in multiple levels of hierarchy. Computational units are designed with minimal overhead as possible, where additional features and capabilities are aggregated at higher levels in the hierarchy. On-chip memory provides storage for content inherently required for basic operation at a particular hierarchy and is coupled with the computational resources in an optimal ratio. Lean control provides just enough signaling to manage only the operations required at a particular hierarchical level.
