  • Mobile tomography imaging
    Patent number: 11160520
    Abstract: A detector used for tomography imaging is mobile, allowing the detector to move about an object (e.g., patient to be imaged). A swarm of such detectors, such as a swarm of drones with detectors, may be used for tomography imaging. The trajectory or trajectories of the mobile detectors may account for the pose and/or movement of the object being imaged. The trajectory or trajectories may be based, in part, on the sampling for desired tomography. An image of an internal region of the object is reconstructed from detected signals of the mobile detectors using tomography.

  • Next-hop routing over a plurality of distinct channels in a mesh network
    Patent number: 11166220
    Abstract: To promote efficient and reliable communication of beacons among neighboring nodes in a wireless network, instead of having each node transmit beacons over its operational channel and switch to a different channel to receive its one-hop neighbors' beacons, nodes may transmit beacons over a different channel (i.e., different from the operational channel) and receive beacons over their operational channels. These outgoing “visitor beacons” may contain the usual beacon information but most importantly specify the operating channel of the transmitting node over which conventional beacons may be transmitted and received.

  • System and method for detecting objects in video sequences
    Patent number: 11164003
    Abstract: An object detector includes an input interface to accept a sequence of video frames, a memory to store a neural network trained to detect objects in the video frames, a processor to process each video frame sequentially with the neural network to detect objects in the sequence of video frames, and an output interface to output the object detection information. The neural network includes a first subnetwork, a second subnetwork, and a third subnetwork. The first subnetwork receives as an input a video frame and outputs a feature map of the video frame. The second subnetwork is a recurrent neural network that takes the feature map as an input and outputs a temporal feature map. The third subnetwork takes the temporal feature map as an input and outputs object detection information.

  • Enforcing electronic service contracts between compu'iing devices
    Patent number: 11165664
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided. A set of classifiers are applied to metric definitions of an electronic contract between computing devices of a service provider and a service consumer. Each classifier includes a selector pattern and a set of variable declarations. Performance data of the service provider computing device are filtered according to the selector pattern of the each classifier. One or more algebraic expressions of the metric definitions are evaluated in accordance with the each classifier and the filtered performance data to determine compliance of the service provider computing device with the electronic contract. Evaluation results indicating whether the service provider computing device is in compliance with the electronic contract are captured and reported.
