  • Publication number: 20230137904
    Abstract: A weight support device includes a sensor grid that measures pressure data while a user is on the weight support device. The weight support device is connected to a computer that analyzes the pressure data and generates a virtual figure to represent the user. Based on the pressure data, the computer determines how the user moves and adjusts relative positions of segments in the virtual figure that represent various body parts corresponding to the movements of the user. The relative positions of the segments may be determined based on a kinematic model. The virtual figure is presented on a display (e.g., in a video) to illustrate how the user moved.

  • Publication number: 20220076142
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting unlabeled data for building and improving the performance of a learning machine are disclosed. In an aspect, such a system may include a reference learning machine, a set of labeled data, and a learning machine analyzer. The learning machine analyzer is configured to receive the reference learning machine and the set of labeled data as inputs and analyze the inner working of the reference learning machine to produce a selected set of unlabeled data. In an aspect, the learning machine analyzer identifies and measures a relation between different input data samples and finds all pairwise relations to construct a relational graph. In an aspect, the relational graph visualizes how much the different input data samples are like each other in higher dimensions inside the reference learning machine.

  • Patent number: 11012517
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are described herein that comprise a multi-screen application which allows users to establish communication sessions with other users of the multi-screen application as well as allowing the user to request multimedia content using the same multi-screen application interface. The user makes a connection request to establish a multimedia session by entering a name or phone number. The multi-screen application uses a request string from the connection request to search a user's contact directory in order to determine possible user connection identifiers associated with the request string. The multi-screen application may additionally or alternatively transmit the request string to a directory server maintained by a service provider. The directory server may provide an endpoint for retrieving multimedia content associated with the string. The multi-media application may be used to allow a user to ‘call’ multimedia content using the same user interface used for calling another user.
