  • Patent number: 11991194
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein describe techniques for generating a linguistic model of input data obtained from a data source (e.g., a video camera). According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a sequence of symbols is generated based on an ordered stream of normalized vectors generated from the input data. A dictionary of words is generated from combinations of the ordered sequence of symbols based on a frequency at which combinations of symbols appear in the ordered sequence of symbols. A plurality of phrases is generated based an ordered sequence of words from the dictionary observed in the ordered sequence of symbols based on a frequency by which combinations of words in ordered sequence of words appear relative to one another.

  • Publication number: 20240098036
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a payload pipeline system that, as part of an inter-network facilitation system, can facilitate digital payload throughput between network components using a staggered payload relayer. For example, the disclosed systems utilize custom tooling to implement a staggered payload relayer as an intelligent conduit or pipeline that operates as a publisher-subscriber paradigm system (as opposed to a data stream system). In some cases, the disclosed systems can utilize synchronous or asynchronous communication to receive digital payloads for events from publisher network components and to make the digital payloads available within a payload queue maintained by the staggered payload relayer (for access by subscriber network components).

  • Publication number: 20230307127
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for predicting short term health outcomes based on data collected by a wearable device such as an activity tracker or a smart watch. Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms are configured to process an input vector that includes monitored parameter data collected by the wearable device as well as embedding data obtained from health records corresponding to a user account registered to the wearable device. In particular, a framework is defined that includes a random forest model configured to classify a user based on the monitored parameter data and embedding data. Based on a positive health outcome classification, a minimum value is assigned to a health index value for the user or, based on a negative health outcome classification, a gradient boosting machine is configured to generate the health index value. Various operations can be performed based on the assigned health index value for the user.

  • Publication number: 20230290502
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for detecting chronic health conditions based on data collected by a wearable device such as an activity tracker or a smart watch. Deep learning algorithms are configured to process the monitored parameter data collected by the wearable device as well as additional embedding data obtained from health records corresponding to a user account registered to the wearable device. In some examples, the input vector can also include embedding data related to social determinants data and/or demographic data. The output of the deep learning algorithms provides predictions that represent probabilities that the user of the wearable device has an underlying health condition. If any underlying health condition is detected, then the user can be notified directly, via the wearable device or an associated application or technology, or indirectly, via a primary care provider associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 10349162
    Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to hearing protection devices comprising a battery compartment with a removable cover. Generally, the removable cover has two configurations: an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration. Typically, the removable cover may include a key and be configured to assist in one-handed removable by a gloved user (e.g. while the hearing protection device is being worn). So, for example, upon unlocking, the key might be configured to pop out automatically to allow the user to grasp the key and remove the removable cover.

  • Publication number: 20130006743
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for in-application advertising display on a second computer using a first computer. A request is received on a first computer to display an advertisement on a second computer, the request from the second computer and including an identification of an application and a location information. The first computer selects an advertisement containing a deal comprised of a discount for prepurchase from a first company and a reward from a second company. The second company is selected based on the identification of the application and the selection is based on both the identification of the application and the location information. The first computer transmits the advertisement to the second computer. The first computer receives a signal from the second computer indicating a purchase of the deal by a user of the second computer.
