  • Publication number: 20230377250
    Abstract: A method for light field rendering of a 3D scene data. The rendering method comprises capturing a light field image at a retracted plane, parallel to the display plane, decoding a light field camera to produce a hogel camera for each hogel at the retraction plane to produce an integral image, and applying a pixel remapping technique to the pixels of the integral image for display on a light field display. The 3D scene is captured and remapped to adjust the perspective giving the illusion the image was taken at the display plane, allowing captured images to be displayed in both the inner frustum and outer frustum of a light field display, creating an immersive experience.

  • Patent number: 11256988
    Abstract: A novel system and method are described that allows for implementation of compact and efficient deep learning AI solutions to advanced sensor signal processing functions. The process includes the following stages: (1) A method for generating requisite annotated training data in sufficient quantity to ensure convergence of a deep learning neural network (DNN); (2) A method for implementing the resulting DNN onto a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) architecture amenable to efficient neuromorphic integrated circuit (IC) architectures; (3) A method for implementing the solution onto a neuromorphic IC; and (4) A statistical method for ensuring reliable performance.

  • Patent number: 10475019
    Abstract: Various embodiments each include at least one of systems, methods, devices, and software for operating mobile devices as beacon devices. One embodiment in the form of a method includes retrieving data, from a backend system by a mobile device app that executes on a first mobile device, of an open bill associated in the backend system with a first customer account. This method further includes receiving a radio signal via a transceiver of the mobile device. The radio signal in such embodiments includes an identifier encoded therein. The method also includes transmitting the identifier encoded in the received radio signal to the backend system to associate a second customer account with the open bill in the backend system, the second customer account associated with the identifier.

  • Patent number: 5962318
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for stimulating primary and secondary effector cell responses for cellular immunotherapy. Cellular immunotherapy can successfully prevent or treat various viral infections and tumors, such as posttransplant EBV lymphoma. The present invention offers a general method for effecting cellular immunotherapy by providing for presentation, by the most effective antigen presenting cells, viral particles or specific antigens, without the need to develop an active viral infection in the antigen presenting cells. Furthermore, the present invention provides for generating effector cells against more than one opportunistic pathogen, e.g., Epstein-Barr virus and adenovirus. The effector cells generated according to the invention, which include CD4 and CD8 cells, are extremely long lived in vivo after adoptive transfer.
