Publication number: 20240087610Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing video data comprising a first sequences of image frames containing a first instance of an object. The method includes isolating said first instance of the object within the first sequence of image frames, determining, using the isolated first instance of the object, first parameter values for a synthetic model of the object, modifying the first parameter values for the synthetic model of the object, rendering a modified first instance of the object using a trained machine learning model and the modified first parameter values for the synthetic model of the object, and replacing at least part of the first instance of the object within the first sequence of image frames with a corresponding at least part of the modified first instance of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Scott MANN, Hyeongwoo KIM, Sean DANISCHEVSKY, Rob HALL, Gary Myles SCULLION

Publication number: 20240071246Abstract: A system for orchestrating structured data exchange between computer devices and generating dynamic user interfaces includes an interconnect platform including a data store, platform generation and service modules, a programming interface, and a first communications interface. The platform generation and service modules are configured to access a plurality of formatted data objects stored in the user profile, save the formatted data objects to the submissions database, determine whether each of the formatted data objects complies with standards stored in a certification standards database, transform a user interface element at a user interface to provide a positive indication in response to determining that each of the formatted data objects complies with the standards, and transform the user interface element to provide a negative indication in response to determining that at least one of the formatted data objects does not comply with the standards.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Gary Conroy, Anastasia Hall

Publication number: 20240071593Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Anna Leigh DAVIS, Scott M.

Patent number: 11719411Abstract: The invention relates to high efficiency diffusion lighting coverings useful in LED lighting applications. The diffusing lighting coverings are made of organic diffusing particles homogeneously dispersed in a transparent polymer matrix. The primary organic diffusing particles are refractive index mis-matched to the matrix polymer. The refractive index contrast between the polymer matrix and diffusion particles, and particle size are selected to provide a high efficiency (minimized particle loading). The high efficiency diffusion coverings provides excellent light diffusion, high hiding properties and high light transmission. The secondary diffusion particles may optionally be added to further improve selected target properties of the covering. Nano-sized ZnO inorganic particles may also function as diffusion particles and optical brighteners as well UV stabilizers.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: TRINSEO EUROPE GMBHInventors: Jiaxin Jason Ge, Michael T.
