Publication number: 20250259277Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a general image prior based on Langevin diffusion. An original representation (image, 3D model, audio) is optimized to resemble a data distribution learned by a trained diffusion model. The original representation may be incomplete and is completed by the optimization process. In an embodiment, the diffusion model may be trained to use an additional conditioning input, such as a text prompt. The diffusion model receives a noisy latent as input and generates a denoised output, such as an image. Generally, the diffusion model samples the learned data distribution to produce the output. The conditioning input provides additional constraint that causes the output to be “nudged” towards the learned data distribution. An example synthesis problem is to generate a panorama image that is much larger compared with images used to train the diffusion model.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2024Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Eric Ryan Wong Chan, Tero Tapani Karras, Miika Samuli Aittala, Timo Oskari Aila, Samuli Matias Laine, Matthew Aaron Wong Chan, Shalini De Mello, Koki Nagano

Publication number: 20240425399Abstract: Excess phosphorus (P) in wastewater effluent poses a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems and can spur harmful algal blooms. Revolving algal biofilm (RAB) systems are an emerging technology to recover P from wastewater before discharge into aquatic ecosystems. In RAB systems, a community of microalgae take up and store wastewater P as polyphosphate as they grow in a partially submerged revolving biofilm, which may then be harvested and dried for use as fertilizer in lieu of mined phosphate rock. Disclosed herein are methods for isolating and characterizing microalgae strains from active RAB systems. Strains were identified by microscopy and 16S/18S ribosomal DNA sequencing, cryopreserved, and screened for elevated P content (as polyphosphate). Seven isolated strains possessed at least 50% more polyphosphate by cell dry weight than a microalgae consortium from a RAB system, with the top strain accumulating nearly threefold more polyphosphate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2024Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Jianping YU, Eric Ryan SCHAEDIG

Publication number: 20240398385Abstract: The invention in a preferred embodiment is an elongated member such as a catheter that uses ultrasound or optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology to approximate the dimensions of a structure into which the catheter has been placed. In a preferred embodiment, the catheter includes multiple ultrasound transducers arranged in an annular or circumferential configuration on, embedded into or within the body of the elongated member so that distance measurements can be obtained between the elongated member and the wall of the immediately facing structure (e.g., a fluid-filled lumen). Utilizing these measurements, the present invention approximates for the physician the shape and size of the structure into which the elongated member is placed. The invention also includes a method for producing three-dimensional images from two-dimensional images.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventor: Stephen Eric Ryan

Publication number: 20240135630Abstract: A method and system for performing novel image synthesis using generative networks are provided. The encoder-based model is trained to infer a 3D representation of an input image. A feature image is then generated using volume rendering techniques in accordance with the 3D representation. The feature image is then concatenated with a noisy image and processed by a denoiser network to predict an output image from a novel viewpoint that is consistent with the input image. The denoiser network can be a modified Noise Conditional Score Network (NCSN). In some embodiments, multiple input images or keyframes can be provided as input, and a different 3D representation is generated for each input image. The feature image is then generated, during volume rendering, by sampling each of the 3D representations and applying a mean-pooling operation to generate an aggregate feature image.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Koki Nagano, Eric Ryan Wong Chan, Tero Tapani Karras, Shalini De Mello, Miika Samuli Aittala, Matthew Aaron Wong Chan

Publication number: 20240104842Abstract: A method for generating, by an encoder-based model, a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a two-dimensional (2D) image is provided. The encoder-based model is trained to infer the 3D representation using a synthetic training data set generated by a pre-trained model. The pre-trained model is a 3D generative model that produces a 3D representation and a corresponding 2D rendering, which can be used to train a separate encoder-based model for downstream tasks like estimating a triplane representation, neural radiance field, mesh, depth map, 3D key points, or the like, given a single input image, using the pseudo ground truth 3D synthetic training data set. In a particular embodiment, the encoder-based model is trained to predict a triplane representation of the input image, which can then be rendered by a volume renderer according to pose information to generate an output image of the 3D scene from the corresponding viewpoint.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Koki Nagano, Alexander Trevithick, Chao Liu, Eric Ryan Chan, Sameh Khamis, Michael Stengel, Zhiding Yu

Publication number: 20230081641Abstract: A single two-dimensional (2D) image can be used as input to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the 2D image. This is done by extracting features from the 2D image by an encoder and determining a 3D representation of the 2D image utilizing a trained 2D convolutional neural network (CNN). Volumetric rendering is then run on the 3D representation to combine features within one or more viewing directions, and the combined features are provided as input to a multilayer perceptron (MLP) that predicts and outputs color (or multi-dimensional neural features) and density values for each point within the 3D representation. As a result, single-image inverse rendering may be performed using only a single 2D image as input to create a corresponding 3D representation of the scene in the single 2D image.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Koki Nagano, Eric Ryan Chan, Sameh Khamis, Shalini De Mello, Tero Tapani Karras, Orazio Gallo, Jonathan Tremblay

Patent number: 11195637Abstract: Elastomer compositions with high dielectric constants are disclosed. Embodiments of the disclosure include a high dielectric constant (high-K) elastomeric composition comprising an elastomer, carbon black (CB), and organoclay (OC). The composition is not dependent on any raw material with inherent high-k or any metal oxide type material that changes conductivity with applied voltages. The composition instead uses distributed electric fields and polarizability with carbon black and organoclays. This allows for a high-k material through polarizability with limited large-scale electron sharing.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: David Eric Ryan, Evangelos Manias, Bo Li

Method and system for generating an omnidirectional antenna pattern from a directional antenna array
Patent number: 11196152Abstract: An antenna system. The system includes a feed network with first input/output terminals and second output/input terminals, and antenna elements forming an array. In a first configuration: each of the second plurality of output/input terminals is connected to one of the antenna elements, the array operating according to a different radiation pattern based on which one of the first plurality of input/output terminals carries a signal into the feed network. In a second configuration: a selected antenna element is disconnected from the second plurality of output/input terminals and receives a direct signal, bypassing the feed network, and operates according to its independent radiation pattern. Also, in the second configuration each remaining antenna element is disconnected from the second plurality of output/input terminals and connected directly to a detuning network, causing these antenna elements to have a minimal effect on the independent radiation pattern of the selected antenna element.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: AVIDYNE CORPORATIONInventors: Dean Eric Ryan, Robert Michael Barts, Lawrence Landis Ludwig, III, Ross Edward Wakeman Hines -
