Publication number: 20200380307Abstract: Techniques for quantifying accuracy of a prediction model that has been trained on a data set parameterized by multiple features are provided. The model performs in accordance with a theoretical performance manifold over an intractable input space in connection with the features. A determination is made as to which of the features are strongly correlated with performance of the model. Based on the features determined to be strongly correlated with performance of the model, parameterized sub-models are created such that, in aggregate, they approximate the intractable input space. Prototype exemplars are generated for each of the created sub-models, with the prototype exemplars for each created sub-model being objects to which the model can be applied to result in a match with the respective sub-model. The accuracy of the model is quantified using the generated prototype exemplars. A recommendation engine is provided for when there are particular areas of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2020Publication date: December 3, 2020Inventors: Arnold BOEDIHARDJO, Adam ESTRADA, Andrew JENKINS, Nathan CLEMENT, Alan SCHOEN

Publication number: 20200380308Abstract: Techniques for recommending a prediction model from among a number of different prediction models are provided. Each of these prediction models has been trained based on a respective training data set, and each performs in accordance with a respective theoretical performance manifold. An indication of a region definable in relation to the theoretical performance manifolds of the different prediction models is received as input. For each of the different prediction models, the indication of the region is linked to features parameterizing the respective performance manifold; and one or more portions of the respective performance manifold is/are identified based on the features determined by the linking, the portion(s) having a volume and a shape that collectively denote an expected performance of the respective model for the input. The expected performance of the prediction models for the input is compared. Based on the comparison, one or more of the models is/are suggested.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2020Publication date: December 3, 2020Inventors: Arnold BOEDIHARDJO, Adam ESTRADA, Andrew JENKINS, Nathan CLEMENT, Alan SCHOEN

Patent number: 10803310Abstract: A system for simplified generation of systems for analysis of satellite images to geolocate one or more objects of interest. A plurality of training images labeled for a study object or objects with irrelevant features loaded into a preexisting feature identification subsystem causes automated generation of models for the study object. This model is used to parameterize pre-engineered machine learning elements that are running a preprogrammed machine learning protocol. Training images with the study are used to train object recognition filters. This filter is used to identify the study object in unanalyzed images. The system reports results in a requestor's preferred format.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: DIGITALGLOBE, INC.Inventors: Adam Estrada, Kevin Green, Andrew Jenkins

Patent number: 10789757Abstract: There is provided a method for ray-mediated illumination control.

The method further includes identifying a second activation region corresponding to the other one of the origin and the destination of the ray, interpreting an illumination rule for the ray based on at least one of the first activation region and the second activation region, and modifying an illumination in one of the first activation region and the second activation region based on the illumination rule and the ray data.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2014Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprises Inc.Inventors: Brent Burley, Christian Eisenacher, Sean Jenkins, Gregory Nichols, Andrew Selle, Charles Tappan, Henry A.

Publication number: 20200270884Abstract: The Invention is a filler/coating system with multiple formulations and mixtures designed to profile roof substrates in optimizing water shed drainage characteristics. These mixtures have a weight that is 50% of the weight of water. This weight reduction reduces the load on the existing roofing elements and allows for the optimized profiling of the slope of a roof without increasing the weight on the existing roof elements/members, this objective is met by the displacement of the water that normally fills and sits in the sagging ponding areas of a weakened and deteriorated roofing structure. The existing roofing elements need not be removed, torn off or repaired, as this system is designed to be an overlay filler/coating system that provides an ideal profiling slope of the roofs substrate for the application of a new water tight roofing membrane system to then be applied.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2019Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: MARC ANDREW WINKELMAN, James Paul Jenkins, Landon Crittenden Haney, JR.

Patent number: 10733759Abstract: A system for automated geospatial image analysis comprising a deep learning model that receives orthorectified geospatial images, pre-labeled to demarcate objects of interest. The module presents marked geospatial images and a second set of unmarked, optimized, training geospatial images to a convolutional neural network. This process may be repeated so that an image analysis software module can detect multiple object types or categories. The image analysis software module receives orthorectified geospatial images from one or more geospatial image caches. Using a multi-scale sliding window submodule, image analysis software scans geospatial images, detects objects present and geospatially locates them.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: DIGITALGLOBE, INC.Inventors: Adam Estrada, Andrew Jenkins, Benjamin Brock, Chris Mangold

Patent number: 10715955Abstract: A system and a method generate a recommendation on a mobile device. The system and the method may use a time, a location, a venue and/or an event to generate the recommendation. Further, the system and the method may use an event database to determine current interests of the user. Still further, the system and the method for generating a recommendation on a mobile device may use a transactional history of the user and/or behavior of other users to generate the recommendation. The system and the method may recommend, for example, digital media, news and event information, editorial content and/or physical or digital merchandise. As a result, the system and the method may generate a recommendation that corresponds to the current interests of the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2016Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: III HOLDINGS 2, LLCInventors: Andrew Jenkins, Jeff Rayfield

Publication number: 20200163974Abstract: GABAA receptor mediated hypersomnia can be treated by administering a GABAA receptor antagonist (e.g., flumazenil; clarithromycin; picrotoxin; bicuculline; cicutoxin; and oenanthotoxin). In some embodiments, the GABAA receptor antagonist is flumazenil or clarithromycin. The GABAA receptor mediated hypersomnia includes shift work sleep disorder, obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome, narcolepsy, excessive sleepiness, hypersomnia (e.g., idiopathic hypersomnia; recurrent hypersomnia; endozepine related recurrent stupor; and amphetamine resistant hypersomnia), and excessive sleepiness associated with shift work sleep disorder, obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome, and hypersomnia (e.g., idiopathic hypersomnia; recurrent hypersomnia; endozepine related recurrent stupor; and amphetamine resistant hypersomnia.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Applicant: EMORY UNIVERSITYInventors: Kathy P.
