  • Publication number: 20250083637
    Abstract: In system and methods for pre-generating insurance claims, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver may be collected. The accident data may be analyzed, and a likely severity of the vehicle accident may be determined based upon the analysis of the accident data. An estimated insurance claim may be generated based upon the determined likely severity of the vehicle accident, and transmitted, via wireless communication, from one or more remote servers to a mobile device associated with the driver to facilitate presenting all, or a portion of the estimated insurance claim to the driver or the insured. A wireless communication from the driver or insured indicating approval, rejection or modification of the estimated insurance claim may be received. The estimated insurance claim may be handled in accordance with the approval, rejection or modification.

  • Patent number: 12210516
    Abstract: Combined feature vectors may be generated to map features of two or more search queries to a common embedding space. A user may provide an initial input query and then provide a refinement query. Independent feature vectors may be generated for each of the initial input query and the refinement query, may be weighted, and then may be combined to form a combined feature vector. The combined feature vector aligns different search modalities within the common embedding space that may be executed against an index.

  • Publication number: 20250018153
    Abstract: Intravascularly delivered blood pumps and associated devices, systems, and methods, are disclosed herein. A method of intravascularly delivering a blood pump in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, advancing an elongated delivery dilator through a patient's vasculature such that a first portion of the elongated delivery dilator is externally accessible proximate to the subclavian artery and a second portion of the elongated delivery dilator is externally accessible proximate to the femoral artery. The method can further include attaching the second portion of the elongated delivery dilator to a driveline, which is coupled to a balloon at the opposite end, and then pulling on the first portion of the elongated delivery dilator to move the driveline and the balloon through the patient's vasculature to a target site with the balloon positioned within the aorta.

  • Patent number: 11869858
    Abstract: Microwave packaging uses signal vias and interposers, such as metal lead frame interposers. For example, the microwave circuit die includes signal vias that electrically connect the top side and the bottom side of the die. Microwave signal circuitry on the die have signal paths that are electrically connected to the top side of the signal vias. The microwave signal circuitry typically may have an operating frequency of 300 MHz or faster. The bottom side of the signal vias are electrically connected to corresponding areas on the top side of the interposer. The bottom side of the die may also include a ground plane, with ground vias that electrically connect the top side of the die to the ground plane.

  • Patent number: 11199437
    Abstract: A method to monitor rotor blade vibration using unsteady casing pressure. The method applies a non-intrusive blade vibration monitoring technique by using an array of unsteady pressure sensors which may be flush-mounted in the casing of a compressor. The method comprises using spinning mode theory and temporal-spatial analysis to obtain frequency and nodal diameter information of spinning pressure waves associated with the rotor blade vibration. An example of the compressor can be a multistage axial compressor.

  • Patent number: 10956784
    Abstract: An image creation and editing tool can use the data produced from training a neural network to add stylized representations of an object to an image. An object classification will correspond to an object representation, and pixel values for the object representation can be added to, or blended with, the pixel values of an image in order to add a visualization of a type of object to the image. Such an approach can be used to add stylized representations of objects to existing images or create new images based on those representations. The visualizations can be used to create patterns and textures as well, as may be used to paint or fill various regions of an image. Such patterns can enable regions to be filled where image data has been deleted, such as to remove an undesired object, in a way that appears natural for the contents of the image.

  • Patent number: 10664140
    Abstract: A user can select an object represented in video content in order to set a magnification level with respect to that object. A portion of the video frames containing a representation of the object is selected to maintain a presentation size of the representation corresponding to the magnification level. The selection provides for a “smart zoom” feature enabling an object of interest, such as a face of an actor, to be used in selecting an appropriate portion of each frame to magnify, such that the magnification results in a portion of the frame being selected that includes the one or more objects of interest to the user. Pre-generated tracking data can be provided for some objects, which can enable a user to select an object and then have predetermined portion selections and magnifications applied that can provide for a smoother user experience than for dynamically-determined data.
