Patent number: 11933624Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing remotely captured sensor data. A computing platform having at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory may receive, via the communication interface, from a user computing device, sensor data captured by the user computing device using one or more sensors built into the user computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may analyze the sensor data received from the user computing device by executing one or more data processing modules. Then, the computing platform may generate trip record data based on analyzing the sensor data received from the user computing device and may store the trip record data in a trip record database. In addition, the computing platform may generate user record data based on analyzing the sensor data received from the user computing device and may store the user record data in a user record database.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Pratheek M.

Publication number: 20240078374Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to causing emoji(s) that are associated with a given emotion class expressed by a spoken utterance to be visually rendered for presentation to a user at a display of a client device of the user. Processor(s) of the client device may receive audio data that captures the spoken utterance, process the audio data to generate textual data that is predicted to correspond to the spoken utterance, and cause a transcription of the textual data to be visually rendered for presentation to the user via the display. Further, the processor(s) may determine, based on processing the textual data, whether the spoken utterance expresses a given emotion class. In response to determining that the spoken utterance expresses the given emotion class, the processor(s) may cause emoji(s) that are stored in association with the given emotion class to be visually rendered for presentation to the user via the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Ajay Gokhale, Jiawei Chen, Alvin Abdagic, Adrien Olczak, Alessandro Agostini, Alexander Robertson, Cristian Udrescu, Jackie Xiang, Jennifer Daniel, Keqian Yan, Mehek Sharma, Nicolo D'Ercole, Yang Lu, Dror Ayalon

Patent number: 11726093Abstract: Components, systems, and methods for gas sensing identification are generally disclosed. In some embodiments, a characteristic of an article (e.g., identity, authenticity, property, product associated information such as age or quality, etc.) may be determined by determining the presence (e.g., an amount) or absence of a chemical compound (or compounds) emanating from the article. For example, the presence or absence of the compound (or compounds) emanating from the article identifies a characteristic of the article. In some embodiments, the chemical compound(s) has been proactively added to the article. That is to say, in some embodiments, the chemical compound is not inherently associated with the article but is added in order to, for example, identify a characteristic of the article.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: C2Sense, Inc.Inventors: Robert Deans, John Benjamin Goods, Alexander Robertson Petty, Jan Markus Schnorr, Timothy Manning Swager, Travis Matthew Theis, Laura Jane Tschiegg, Joseph J.

Patent number: 11189915Abstract: Disclosed herein is an implantable electronic device including a housing containing an electrical circuit. The implantable electronic device further includes an antenna assembly coupled to the electrical circuit. The antenna assembly includes an antenna including a dielectric antenna body within which an antenna trace is disposed. Portions of the antenna trace are disposed in offset transverse layers in a non-overlapping arrangement, thereby reducing capacitive coupling between the layers of the antenna trace. In certain implementations, the antenna assembly includes one or more capacitive features that selectively overlap portions of the antenna trace and facilitate tuning of the antenna.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Pacesetter, Inc.Inventors: Armando M.

Publication number: 20210174970Abstract: An Integrated Virtual Patient Framework (IVPF) for providing decision support that evolves with increasing data collected on a given patient. Support decisions for patients with limited data is made using statistical prediction tools derived from historical trajectories of similar patients. As patient histories grow, decision support is provided by mathematical models that constrain the possible dynamics of the patient to more detailed predictive models. Weights for each model are assigned depending on uncertainties arising from data fitting and model properties. As new data are entered into a patient record, the models are recalibrated and the weights are adjusted, leading to updated decision support information. The framework also suggests the benefit of additional follow-up data collection events, optimizing the data collection as well as how the IVPF generates predictions. The framework also may present scenarios to patients in a way that informs them of treatment outcomes, given various strategies.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: June 10, 2021Inventors: Alexander Robertson Allan Anderson, Mark Robertson-Tessi, Kevin McCash, Chandler Dean Gatenbee
