Publication number: 20250028900Abstract: A method and Graphic User Interface (GUI) system of data analysis for training a discriminative machine learning model are provided. One or more sets of data are provided to a large language model (LLM) for a predefined task with or without prompts provided by a user; the results output by the LLM is compared with a set of initial human-supplied ground truth data generated by the user to produce performance metrics, the user may provide or update one or more prompts for the LLM based on the performance metrics till the performance metrics reach a threshold. The set of initial human-supplied ground truth data and the results of the LLM can be used to train a discriminative machine learning model.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Applicant: INDICO DATA SOLUTIONS Inc.Inventors: Benjamin TOWNSEND, Madison MAY, Christopher WELLS

Patent number: 12140402Abstract: Disclosed is a shroud configured to convert an open emitter reflex sight into an enclosed emitter reflex sight. More specifically, the shroud includes a transparent window and is configured to be attached to the main body of the housing and thereby form an enclosure for the emitter of the reflex sight. In some implementations, the shroud is used in conjunction with a drainage plug assembly configured to seal drain openings in the main body of the open emitter reflex sight.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2023Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: HRF Concepts LLCInventor: Benjamin Wells

Patent number: 9558235Abstract: A conferencing system receives a live stream of conference data generated during a video conference. Data associated with the live stream of conference data may be stored in a storage medium in response to a conferee request. Storage of the data associated with the live stream of conference data may automatically begin at the beginning of the meeting. The system may retrieve the data associated with the live stream of conference data from the storage medium in response to a retrieval request. Retrieval of the data may occur subsequent to that portion of the video conference associated with the live stream. A local copy of the data associated with the live stream of conference data may be provided to a requesting user's computer.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2015Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: PIXION, INC.Inventors: Joseph Salesky, Peter Madams, John Flower, Clint Kaul, Benjamin Wells, Edward Arthur Ho-Ming Janne

Patent number: 9077776Abstract: One conferencing system allows conference participants to share all or a portion of the display seen on their computer screens. The conferees may be at sites removed from each other, or may view a recorded presentation or archived conference at different times. Conference participants are either “presenters” who can modify the display or “attendees” who cannot modify the display. An image may be captured of a selected region of a display image on a presenter computer, and data associated with the captured image may be transmitted to one or more attendee computers. The display of the transmitted data at the one or more attendee computers may be sequenced with respect to the presenter computer. These and other features apply to other data streams shared in the conference or in meetings where there is no shared-image data stream.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2015Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Pixion, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Salesky, Peter Madams, John Flower, Clint Kaul, Benjamin Wells, Edward Arthur Ho-Ming Janne

Patent number: 9049272Abstract: One conferencing system allows conference participants to share all or a portion of the display seen on their computer screens. The conferees may be at sites removed from each other, or may view a recorded presentation or archived conference at different times. Conference participants are either “presenters” who can modify the display or “attendees” who cannot modify the display. A pointer icon, which can be labeled to identify the conferee, is displayed on the shared image area. Each conferee can modify the position of his or her own pointer, even when not presenting, so that every participant can see what each conferee is pointing to, should a conferee choose to point to an element of the display. These and other features apply to other data streams shared in the conference or in meetings where there is no shared-image data stream.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Pixion, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Salesky, Peter Madams, John Flower, Clint Kaul, Benjamin Wells, Edward Arthur Ho-Ming Janne

Patent number: 7877489Abstract: An improved networked computer communications system handles arbitrary streams of data, and transports at varying speeds those steams where intermediate updates can be dropped if they are obsoleted by later arriving data updates, optimizing the utilization of network and node resources. Complex buffering by system server software allows distributed, parallel, or redundant processing, transmission, and storage for performance, reliability, and robustness. Various parameters of the system can be monitored, and the system can be reconfigured automatically based on the observations. Varied techniques reduce the perceived end-to-end latency and take advantage of software and hardware capabilities that assets connected to the system may possess.
