Patent number: 11957350Abstract: A device includes an elongated hollow member having an open distal end for receiving tissue therein and at least one exterior groove for loading at least one ligation band thereon. The device also includes a band deployment sleeve slidable over the exterior of the hollow member and configured to move from a radially expanded position to a radially contracted position in which, when the band deployment sleeve slides longitudinally over the hollow member, the distal portion engages the at least one ligation band. A closing sleeve slidable over the exterior of the band deployment sleeve is configured to constrain the distal portion from the radially expanded position into the radially contracted position. Retracting the closing sleeve proximally over the distal portion of the band deployment sleeve releases the distal portion from the radially contracted position into the radially expanded position.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: BACON SCIENTIFIC LIMITEDInventors: Abhishek Basu, Rohit Rohilla, Hitendra Purohit, Agrim Mishra, Nabarun Bhowmick, Nidhi Dhingra, Balaji Aswatha Narayana, Deepak Kumar Sharma

Publication number: 20240028890Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a technique to crowdsource labeling of training data for a machine learning model while maintaining the privacy of the data provided by crowdsourcing participants. Client devices can be used to generate proposed labels for a unit of data to be used in a training dataset. One or more privacy mechanisms are used to protect user data when transmitting the data to a server. The server can aggregate the proposed labels and use the most frequently proposed labels for an element as the label for the element when generating training data for the machine learning model. The machine learning model is then trained using the crowdsourced labels to improve the accuracy of the model.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Abhishek BHOWMICK, Ryan M.

Patent number: 11501008Abstract: Embodiments described herein ensure differential privacy when transmitting data to a server that estimates a frequency of such data amongst a set of client devices. The differential privacy mechanism may provide a predictable degree of variance for frequency estimations of data. The system may use a multibit histogram model or Hadamard multibit model for the differential privacy mechanism, both of which provide a predictable degree of accuracy of frequency estimations while still providing mathematically provable levels of privacy.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Abhishek Bhowmick, Andrew H.

Publication number: 20220067075Abstract: The subject technology for maintaining differential privacy for database query results receives a query for a database that contains user data. The subject technology determines that the query is permitted for the database based at least in part on a privacy policy associated with the database. The subject technology determines that performing the query will not exceed a query budget for the database. The subject technology, when the query is permitted and performing the query will not exceed the query budget, performs the query on the database and receiving results from the query. The subject technology selects a differential privacy algorithm for the results based at least in part on a query type of the query. The subject technology applies the selected differential privacy algorithm to the results to generate differentially private results. The subject technology provides the differentially private results.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Mona CHITNIS, Abhishek BHOWMICK, Lucas O.

Patent number: 11227063Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a privacy mechanism to protect user data when transmitting the data to a server that estimates a frequency of such data amongst a set of client devices. In one embodiment, a differential privacy mechanism is implemented using a count-mean-sketch technique that can reduce resource requirements required to enable privacy while providing provable guarantees regarding privacy and utility. For instance, the mechanism can provide the ability to tailor utility (e.g. accuracy of estimations) against the resource requirements (e.g. transmission bandwidth and computation complexity).Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Abhishek Bhowmick, Andrew H.

Patent number: 11055492Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide techniques to encode sequential data in a privacy preserving manner before the data is sent to a sequence learning server. The server can then determine aggregate trends within an overall set of users, without having any specific knowledge about the contributions of individual users. The server can be used to learn new words generated by user client devices in a crowdsourced manner while maintaining local differential privacy of client devices. The server can also learn other sequential data including typed, autocorrected, revised text sequences, sequences of application launches, sequences of purchases on an application store, or other sequences of activities that can be performed on an electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Abhishek Bhowmick, Ryan M.

Patent number: 10776511Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a privacy mechanism to protect user data when transmitting the data to a server that estimates a frequency of such data amongst a set of client devices. One embodiment uses a differential privacy mechanism to enhance a user experience by inferring potential user preferences from analyzing crowdsourced user interaction data. Based on a statistical analysis of user interactions in relation to various features or events, development efforts with respect to application behavior may be refined or enhanced. For example, user interactions in relation to the presentation of content such as content from online sources may be analyzed. Accordingly, presentation settings or preferences may be defined based on the crowdsourced user interaction data.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2017Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Kevin W.
