Publication number: 20220374687Abstract: A processor-implemented method includes receiving as input, a global polynomial optimization problem that approximates a training problem of a neural network. The method also includes relaxing the global polynomial optimization problem including polynomial constraints with multiple semi-definite programs. The method further includes solving the semi-definite programs based on a pre-defined structure and outputting a solution indicating a location of a global optimum of the optimization problem. The method includes performing inference with the neural network based on the solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Pierre-David LETOURNEAU, Matthew Harper LANGSTON, Richard LETHIN, Matthew James Morse

Patent number: 7970456Abstract: An image of an individual (2) is obtained using a digital camera (1). The image data is then processed by ratio determination module (10) and an image conversion module (12) to analyze the image and determine data representative of the distribution of blood and melanin in the skin of the imaged individual. This chromophore distribution data is then processed by an image generation module (18) which generates an image representative of the expected appearance of epithelial tissue having the determined distribution of chromophores where the epithelial tissue is under fixed illumination and has a flat spatial geometry and where all the identified melanin is present solely in the epidermis.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Biocompatibles UK LimitedInventors: Stephen John Preece, Symon D'oyly Cotton, Robert James Morse, Mark Chellingworth

Patent number: 7916910Abstract: An image of an individual (2) is obtained via a digital camera (1). The RGB image data is then processed to derive from the image data data representative of the distribution of chromophores resulting in the appearance of the individual (2). A calculated chromophore distribution is then utilised to derive a revised chromophore distribution representing the effect of the desired cosmetic or surgical intervention or medical condition. This chromophore distribution is then processed to generate an output image (34) illustrating the expected result of that intervention. The generated image (34) can be displayed simultaneously with an original image (33) so that the extent of expected improvement can be determined.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2006Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Biocompatibles UK LimitedInventors: Symon D'Oyly Cotton, Robert James Morse, Mark Chellingworth, Stephen John Preece

Patent number: 7441382Abstract: A clip for siding panels installed on a wall of a structure includes a substantially planar nailing face and a seat extending from a bottom edge of the nailing face disposed to receive the bottom edge of an overlapping siding panel. A hook member extends from a top edge of the nailing face and is disposed to hang the clip from a top edge of a siding panel overlapped by the overlapping siding panel. The nailing face is sized to provide a partial overlap of the overlapped siding panel by the overlapping siding panel when the clip is attached to the overlapped siding panel by the hook member and the overlapping siding panel is seated in the seat.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2002Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Certainteed CorporationInventors: David Herbert Beck, Rick James Morse
