  • Simulated visual hierarchy while facilitating cross-extension communication
    Patent number: 11210106
    Abstract: To provide a hierarchical visual paradigm while maintaining the communication advantages of sibling extensions, a visual hierarchy simulation extension generates and maintains placeholders in a visually hierarchical manner, with the visual positioning of such placeholders informing the visual positioning of overlays of frames hosting the visual output of sibling extensions. Such a visual hierarchy simulation extension is utilized to layout and establish a desired visual hierarchy. One or more modules of computer-executable instructions are invoked to provide the relevant functionality, including the obtaining of the visual positioning of placeholders, the relevant visual translation between the visual positioning of placeholders and the visual overlaying of corresponding frames, the generation and movement of the corresponding frames, and the instantiation of extension content within the corresponding frames. The visual hierarchy simulation extension is hosted independently from the one or more modules.

  • Systems and methods for modeling neural architecture
    Patent number: 11200672
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for modeling neural architecture. Regions of interest of a brain of a subject can be identified based on image data characterizing the brain of the subject. the identified regions of interest can be mapped to a connectivity matrix. The connectivity matrix can be a weighted and undirected network. A multivariate transformation can be applied to the connectivity matrix to transform the connectivity matrix into a partial correlation matrix. The multivariate transformation can maintain a positive definite constraint for the connectivity matrix. The partial correlation matrix can be transformed into a neural model indicative of the connectivity matrix.

  • Multi-touch auto scanning
    Patent number: 11194423
    Abstract: A system and method for autonomously scanning a sensor panel device is disclosed. A sensor panel processor can be disabled after a first predetermined amount of time has elapsed without the sensor panel device sensing any events. One or more system clocks can also be disabled to conserve power. While the processor and one or more system clocks are disabled, the sensor panel device can periodically autonomously scan the sensor panel for touch activity. If one or more results from the autonomous scans exceed a threshold, the sensor panel device re-enables the processor and one or more clocks to actively scan the sensor panel. If the threshold is not exceeded, the sensor panel device continues to periodically autonomously scan the sensor panel without intervention from the processor. The sensor panel device can periodically perform calibration functions to account for any drift that may be present in the system.

    Publication number: 20210371645
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, the present invention provides a low molecular weight, non-toxic, resorbable poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-block-poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) diblock copolymers and poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-block-poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) triblock copolymers (and related methods for their making and use) that permits hydration for the formation of such things as hydrogels and has constrained and predictable material properties suitable for 3D printing and drug delivery applications. Using continuous digital light processing (cDLP) hydrogels the diblock and triblock copolymers can be photochemically printed from an aqueous solution into structures having a 10-fold increase in elongation at break compared to traditional diethyl fumarate (DEF) based printing. Furthermore, PPF-PEG-PPF triblock hydrogels have also been found in vitro to be biocompatible across a number of engineered MC3T3, NIH3T3, and primary Schwann cells.

  • Augmented data insight generation and provision
    Patent number: 11182748
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, artificial intelligence (AI) processing is trained and leveraged to learn user-specific insights that are contextually relevant to a state of a user communication. Contextual information about a state of a user communication may be collected and analyzed. That contextual information may be cross-referenced with an extensive knowledge graph that is constructed from user context data. Exemplary AI processing may further be trained to apply a relevance analysis to assist with processing described herein including generation and curation of data insights that are most relevant to a state of a user communication. In some examples, the data insight generation process may be augmented by pre-generating data insights that may be relevant to a user communication prior to occurrence of the user communication. Further technical examples pertain to the rendering and presentation of representations of data insights through a graphical user interface (GUI).

  • Human-in-the-Loop Interactive Model Training
    Publication number: 20210358579
    Abstract: A method is described for training a predictive model which increases the interpretability and trustworthiness of the model for end-users. The model is trained from data having multitude of features. Each feature is associated with a real value and a time component. Many predicates (atomic elements for training the model) are defined as binary functions operating on the features, and typically time sequences of the features or logical combinations thereof. The predicates can be limited to those functions which have human understandability or encode expert knowledge relative to a predication task of the model. We iteratively train a boosting model with input from an operator or human-in-the-loop. The human-in-the-loop is provided with tools to inspect the model as it is iteratively built and remove one or more of the predicates in the model, e.g. if it does not have indicia of trustworthiness, is not causally related to a prediction of the model, or is not understandable.

  • Dynamic monitoring, detection of emerging computer events
    Patent number: 11171978
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for the monitoring, detection, and notification of emerging, related issues within a system, which may indicate a problem. Within a computing-security system, a sudden increase in the frequency of events associated with unauthorized logon attempts signal a real-time and ongoing security risk. A method monitors system-related events and generates a vector representation for each event based on event features. Clusters of related events are determined, and a state automaton is employed to determine a strength of temporal “bursty” activity for each cluster. Hypothesis testing is performed on each cluster to determine a likelihood that the cluster is a temporally emergent cluster. Clusters with a bursting likelihood above a threshold are determined to be an emergent cluster associated with an anomalous issue. A notification regarding the detected anomaly is provided. A remedial action addressing the anomaly is performed.
