Patent number: 10839713Abstract: A training system includes a computer system, a display system and a motion capture device. During use the training system presents a computer simulation of a virtual subject capable of exhibiting nystagmus to a trainee. The movements of the trainee are captured using the computer system during the administration of an HGN test to the virtual subject. During the administration of the HGN test to the virtual subject, the training system simulates nystagmus in the virtual subject.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignees: The University of Texas System, Sam Houston State University, Eye T.

Patent number: 10558657Abstract: A mechanism for progressive topic modeling is disclosed to facilitate document content analysis. Input documents can be sorted and divided into multiple groups. Topic modeling is performed for each group, where the topic modeling for one group is based on the generated topic model from a previous group, if available. The vocabulary used in the topic modeling process can also be updated for each group of documents. The generated topics can be presented in a user interface to facilitate a user in analyzing the documents. The topic modeling mechanism can also be utilized to enhance a document search experience by generating topics from documents contained in search results and presenting topic words to a user as suggested search terms.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Weiwei Cheng, Christopher Gonzales
