  • Patent number: 10628931
    Abstract: A method and system for enhancing a facial image of a user in real time by digital generation of a portion of a facial image using artificial intelligence (AI) during a video conference with a plurality of participants. The method and system including receiving a digital image of a first portion of a user's face in real time from a camera viewing the first portion of the user's face. The camera is unable to view the second portion of the user's face. The method and system includes improving resolution and/or digitally completing the second portion of the user's facial image, using an AI system. The improving resolution including, receiving the digital image at the AI system which includes a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). The method and system includes generating, in real time, a complete enhanced digital facial image of the user's face using the GAN.

  • Publication number: 20200054474
    Abstract: Real-time cast sensor measurement outputs of a set of cast sensors that each measure a characteristic related to usage of an adjustable removable cast worn by a patient during treatment of congenital talipes equino varus (CTEV) are monitored. A cast usage anomaly relative to a treatment program prescribed for the patient with respect to wearing of the adjustable removable cast is identified according to the real-time cast sensor measurement outputs. Responsive to identifying the cast usage anomaly, real-time corrective treatment feedback is provided to the patient that instructs further and proper use of the adjustable removable cast to improve compliance with the treatment program prescribed for the patient.

  • Patent number: 10467813
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions which are executed by the at least one processor and configure the processor to implement a cognitive system for generating personalized augmented reality using cognitive analysis. A cognitive analysis engine executing within the cognitive system receives a video feed. A content extraction component of the cognitive analysis engine extracts a portion of content from the video feed. The cognitive analysis engine performs analysis on the portion of content based on personal information of a viewer and a corpus of information to form a response that is relevant to the portion of content and the viewer. A rendering objective engine executing within the cognitive system generates a rendering artifact based on the response.

  • Patent number: 9045871
    Abstract: A paving machine including an adjustable screed assembly is provided. Actuators adjust the screed assembly into the plurality of different configurations. Sensors sense a respective configuration parameter indicative of the configuration of the screed assembly. A controller is configured to save a first set of parameters including the configuration parameters and save a second set of parameters including the configuration parameters in response. The controller is configured to recall one of the first set or second set of parameters, and adjust automatically the configuration of the screed assembly to correspond to the configuration parameters included in the recalled first set or second set of parameters.
