Patent number: 11407516Abstract: An onboard rebreathing loop system resident on an aircraft for providing oxygen to aircraft personnel includes a ceramic oxygen generating system (COGS) module configured to receive an inlet air and output a high purity oxygen (O2) gas into a breathing loop and a carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber module configured to receive exhaled air from the aircraft personnel and output a CO2-scrubbed air into the breathing loop. The high purity O2 gas and CO2-scrubbed air are mixed to form a mixed gas having a partial pressure of O2 suitable for breathing by the aircraft personnel. The onboard rebreathing loop system may further include an odor removal module, an air temperature and/or humidity control module to condition the mixed gas before breathing by the aircraft personnel, and a gas sensor module to confirm the partial pressure of O2 within the mixed gas before breathing by the aircraft personnel.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Inventors: Steven C.

Patent number: 11195262Abstract: A method for identifying a body region in a medical image includes obtaining a medical image including a number of consecutive bio-section images, inputting the medical image into a preset machine learning model to obtain a numerical value for each of the bio-section images corresponding to the body region to which the bio-section image belongs, determining whether the numerical values of the medical image are abnormal, adjusting the numerical values when the numerical values are abnormal, determining the body region corresponding to the numerical values or the adjusted numerical values, and labeling the body region in the medical image and outputting the labeled medical image. The bio-section images are cross-sectional images of a living body.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: COHESION INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CORP.Inventors: Feng-Mao Lin, Chi-Wen Chen, Wei-Da Huang, Liangtsan Gary Wu

Publication number: 20190227569Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to a task management platform for managing autonomous vehicles. In one example, a computer-implemented method for managing a fleet of vehicles includes obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, vehicle state data indicative of vehicle state from one or more vehicles among a fleet of vehicles. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, if a vehicle event has occurred based at least in part on the vehicle state data. The method further includes in response to determining a vehicle event has occurred, generating, by the computing system, one or more tasks for resolution of the vehicle event, wherein the one or more tasks include data associated with the one or more vehicles and the vehicle event. The method further includes providing, by the computing system, data associated with the one or more tasks to a remote operator computing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2018Publication date: July 25, 2019Inventors: Emily Anna Weslosky, Gary Wu Yang, Nuri Kim, Anand Nandakumar, Varun Rau, Mark Russell Reeder, Robert Eperjesi

Publication number: 20190220036Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a fleet of vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data representing vehicle state information associated with one or more vehicles among a fleet of vehicles at one or more times. The method includes predicting a future vehicle state associated with the one or more vehicles at one or more future times. The method includes scheduling a vehicle assignment in a predetermined set of vehicle assignments for a selected vehicle among the one or more vehicles before a first future time among the one or more future times. The method includes transmitting a command signal to a computing system associated with the selected vehicle based at least in part on the scheduled vehicle assignment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2018Publication date: July 18, 2019Inventors: Emily Anna Weslosky, Gary Wu Yang, Nuri Kim, Lili Kan, Varun Rau, Xiaoman Dong, Julie Marie Derence, Christopher John Peplin, Daniel Joseph Tascione, Steve Ayers, Mark Reeder, Robert Eperjesi, Richard Tom, Steven Hanby Williams, Venkata Sathya Praveen Gorthy, Sunil Kumar Garg, Chris Lyons, Yi Shi

Publication number: 20160343026Abstract: A target audience for an ad campaign is determined during an exploration period of the ad campaign by modifying the target audience based on the fulfillment of performance objectives. An initial target audience may be provided by the advertiser or determined by the social networking system based on ad campaigns having similar ad content or other similar characteristics. Advertisements associated with the ad campaign are served to users of the initial target audience. A subset of the target audience that fulfills the performance objectives of the ad campaign is identified and those users are used to generate a new targeting audience to target users that “look like” the subset of the target audience. The new targeting audience is used in place of the initial target audience to improve targeting for the advertisement. This process may be iteratively performed to refine the target audience during the exploration period.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2015Publication date: November 24, 2016Inventors: Haibin Cheng, Sue Ann Hong, Rituraj Kirti, Benjamin Tucker Savage, Gary Wu
