Patent number: 11568361Abstract: This disclosure describes interactive data processing systems configured to facilitate selection by a human associate of tentative results generated by an automated system from sensor data. In one implementation, an event may take place in a materials handling facility. The event may comprise a pick or place of an item from an inventory location, movement of a user, and so forth. The sensor data associated with the event is processed by an automated system to determine tentative results associated with the event. In some situations, an uncertainty may exist as to which of the tentative results accurately reflects the actual event. The system may then determine whether the event is to be merged with one or more temporally and spatially proximate events and, if so, the sensor data and tentative results for the merged event is sent to a human associate. The associate may select one of the tentative results.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Fei Xiong, Sabarishkumar Iyer, David Echevarria Ignacio, Sridhar Boyapati, Caylan Lee, Jacques Daniel Thomas, Waqas Syed Ahmed, Danny Guan

Patent number: 9214041Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for enhancing the determination, from a seismic image of at least a portion of a seismic horizon in a three-dimensional domain. The method comprises: receiving the seismic image; receiving a plurality of related control points; defining pseudo-rectangles; for each pseudo-rectangle applying a diffeomorphic transformation F: defining a new domain; transforming points of the seismic image; transforming said pseudo-rectangle into a corresponding rectangle; applying a horizon reconstruction algorithm to the transformed points, to determine a part of a transformed horizon, the reconstruction comprising solving a Poisson equation; and computing a part of the horizon, said computing comprising applying an inverse diffeomorphic transformation F?1 to the determined part of a transformed horizon.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2013Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignees: Total SA, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique—CNRS, Universite de Bordeaux, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Sciences Agronomique de Bordeaux-Aquitaine, Institute Polytechnique de BordeauxInventors: Guillaume Zinck, Marc Donias, Jacques Daniel, Olivier Lavialle, Sébastien Guillon

Patent number: 5515862Abstract: A condom for use by a female user has a flexible tube for insertion into the vagina, the tube having a sealed end and an open end, a shield sealingly attached to or integrally formed with the open end, and an adhesive applied to a portion of the shield for detachably attaching the condom to the female user. The shield has a number of regions which together form a continuous, seamless surface surrounding the open end of the tube. These regions include a first region for covering the pubic region and part of the lower abdomen, a second region for substantially covering the right groin, a third region for substantially covering the left groin, a fourth region for covering part of the right inner thigh, a fifth region for covering part of the left inner thigh, and a sixth region for covering the perineum and the anus. One or more semi-rigid ring may be deployed along the tube. The adhesive is a perspiration resistant, hypo-allergenic skin glue.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 1994Date of Patent: May 14, 1996Assignee: Elie ArtsiInventors: Elie Artsi, Jacques Daniel
