  • Publication number: 20240398053
    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing containing rear-facing displays that display images for a user when the head-mounted housing is worn by the user. The head-mounted housing may be coupled to the user's head using a headband. The headband may include a first headband portion and a second headband portion that extends from the first headband portion at a fixed angle. Stiffeners may be included in the first and second headband portions. The stiffeners may be formed from braided cords and may be embedded in the first and second headband portions to allow the headband to conform to a user's head when worn. Other stiffeners may be mounted to a surface of the headband to maintain an angle between the first and second headband portions. The ends of the headband may have curved corners, and may appear seamless to the naked eye.

  • Patent number: 12158066
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus pertaining to scaling of the proportional gain and the integral gain in PI controllers of an autodriller based on drilling context. For example, a proportional gain and an integral gain are each determined for utilization by a PI controller of an autodriller controlling operation of equipment to be utilized for a drilling operation to drill a borehole into a subterranean formation. During the drilling operation, the integral gain is updated in real-time utilizing current values of drilling parameters that change with respect to time.

  • Publication number: 20240394870
    Abstract: The physical characteristics of one or more anatomical structures of a person may change in accordance with conditions surrounding the determination of such physical characteristics. Machine learning based techniques may be used to determine a template representation of the one or more anatomical structures that may indicate the physical characteristics of the one or more anatomical structures free of the impact imposed by changing conditions. The template representation may then be used to predict the physical characteristics of the one or more anatomical structures under a new set of conditions, without subjecting the person to additional medical scans.

  • Publication number: 20240378731
    Abstract: Detecting motions associated with a body part of a patient may include using an image sensor installed inside a medical scanner to capture first and second images of the patient inside the medical scanner, wherein the first image may depict the patient in a first state and the second image may depict the patient in a second state. A first area, in the first image, that corresponds to the body part of the patient may be identified and a second area, in the second image, that corresponds to the body part may also be identified so that a first plurality of features may be extracted from the first area of the first image and a second plurality of features may be extracted from the second area of the second image. A motion associated with the body part of the patient may be determined based on the first and second pluralities of features.

  • Publication number: 20240346684
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods and instrumentalities associated with multi-person joint location and pose estimation based on an image that depicts multiple people in a scene, where at least some of the joint locations of a person may be blocked or obstructed by other people or objects in the scene. The estimation may be performed by detecting and grouping joint locations in the image using a bottom-up approach, and refining each group of detected joint locations by recovering obstructed joint location(s) that may be missing from the group. The detection, grouping, and/or refinement may be accomplished based on one or more machine learning (ML) models that may be implemented using artificial neural networks such as convolutional neural networks.

  • Publication number: 20240331446
    Abstract: Automatic hand gesture determination may be a challenging task considering the complex anatomy and high dimensionality of the human hand. Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with recognizing a hand gesture in spite of the challenges. An apparatus in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure may use machine learning based techniques to identify the area of an image that may contain a hand and to determine an orientation of the hand relative to a pre-defined direction. The apparatus may then adjust the area of the image containing the hand to align the orientation of the hand with the pre-defined direction and/or to scale the image area to a pre-defined size. Based on the adjusted image area, the apparatus may detect a plurality of hand landmarks and predict a gesture indicated by the hand based on the plurality of detected landmarks.
