Patents by Inventor Elliot Schmidt

Elliot Schmidt has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230330390
    Abstract: A catheter including one or more echogenic members facilitate guiding the catheter to a selected locations within a patient using ultrasound imaging. The echogenic members may include expandable members, such as balloons, be positioned near a distal end of the catheter. The echogenic members include an echogenic material, such as a coating or a fluid, that is configured to enhance the diffuse sound scattering of the echogenic member. An expanded echogenic member is detectable using ultrasound imaging.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20210306458
    Abstract: A conversation may be monitored in real time using a trained machine learning model. This real-time monitoring may detect attributes of a conversation, such as a conversation type, a state of a conversation, as well as other attributes that help specify a context of a conversation. Contextually appropriate behavioral targets may be provided by machine learning model to an agent participating in a conversation. In some embodiments, these “behavioral targets” are identified by applying a set of rules to the contemporaneously identified conversation attributes. The behavioral targets may be defined in advance prior to the start of a conversation. In this way, the machine learning model may be trained to associate particular behavioral target(s) with one or more conversation attributes (or collections of attributes). This facilitates the real-time monitoring of a conversation and contemporaneous guidance of an agent with machine-identified behavioral targets.
