  • Patent number: 12271816
    Abstract: A data set can be provided that includes an input data element and one or more label data portion definitions that each identify a feature of interest within the input data element. A machine-learning model can generate model-identified portions definitions that identify predicted feature of interests within the input data element. At least one false negative (where a feature of interest is identified without a corresponding predicted feature of interest) and at least one false positive (where a predicted feature of interest is identified without a corresponding feature of interest) can be a identified. A class-disparate loss function can be provided that is configured to penalize false negatives more than at least some false positives. A loss can be calculated using the class-disparate loss function. A set of parameter values of the machine-learning model can be determined based on the loss.

  • Publication number: 20250108378
    Abstract: A method of causing the cellular proliferation of one or more cell types contained within a microdroplet having an average volume in the range 4 femtolitres to 10 nanolitres and comprised of an aqueous buffer is provided. It is characterised by the step of incubating the cell(s) inside the droplets in suitable environmental conditions and thereafter detecting the number of cells inside each droplet, characterised in that the microdroplets are suspended in an immiscible carrier fluid further comprising secondary droplets having an average volume less than 25% of the average volume of the microdroplets up to and including a maximum of 4 femtolitres and wherein the volume ratio of carrier fluid to total volume of microdroplets per unit volume of the total is greater than 2:1. The method may be employed for example with microdroplets containing biological cells or with microdroplets containing single nucleoside phosphate such as are prepared in a droplet-based nucleic acid sequencer.

  • Publication number: 20250104365
    Abstract: For artificial reality (XR) applications that need a guardian, aspects of the present disclosure can automatically determine where boundaries should be set in the real-world environment. Using a machine learning model, the automatic boundary system can detect the floor plane, then generate a height map of the real-world environment with the floor at zero. The height map can include positive heights (e.g., objects on the floor) and negative heights (e.g., downward leading stairs). The automatic boundary system can then generate a boundary for the area based on the detected heights by: applying thresholds to disregard objects at certain heights, applying thresholds to disregard open areas at certain widths, excluding oddly shaped areas that would constantly trigger the boundary if the user were nearby, etc. The user can further manually adjust the generated boundary in both directions (e.g., bringing it closer or further from the user).

  • Publication number: 20250090932
    Abstract: A wide variety of devices generate alarms when a particular condition is met. For example, a smoke detector generates an alarm upon detecting smoke whilst a motion detector generates an alarm upon detecting motion when the system to which the motion detector is connected is set or armed. However, in each instance the alarm is the same when the specific condition, e.g. smoke, motion; is met. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide users with an alarm which is generated in dependence upon an overall context within which the alarm is established and the resulting alarm generated varies in dependence upon the established context.

  • Publication number: 20250093656
    Abstract: A method of active-dimming control for augmented-reality glasses. The method includes, while a user is wearing augmented-reality glasses, obtaining a first set of light information measured via a first sensor on the augmented reality glasses which is positioned to receive light after it travels through a dimmable element of the augmented-reality glasses. The method further includes obtaining a second set of light information measured via a second sensor on the augmented reality glasses positioned to receive light that has not travelled through the dimmable element of the augmented-reality glasses. The method further includes electronically adjusting a dimming level of the dimmable element based on a comparison between the first set and second set of light information.

  • Publication number: 20250092446
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for systematic elimination of background DNA in a DNA mixture sample. Often, the DNA of interest is in a heavy background of DNAs from other tissues. For example, a majority of DNA in plasma cell-free DNA originates from white blood cells. The present disclosure exploits genome-wide background DNA methylation to systematically eliminate DNA from white blood cells and normal tissue(s), therefore enriching non-background DNA for diagnostics, for example, the diagnostics of cancer and infectious diseases. The methods and systems may comprise the selection of targeted regions to generate one or more hybrid capture panels, digest nucleic acid molecules of specific methylation status with one or more restriction enzymes, retrieve the remaining DNA using the hybrid capture panel, sequence the captured DNA, analyze the sequencing data of the captured DNA, and diagnose diseases.

  • Publication number: 20250094452
    Abstract: A central database system trains and applies machine-learned models based on characteristics of one or more entities associated with the central database system. For instance, the central database system trains a machine-learned model configured to identify issues a target entity is likely to encounter based on training data identifying characteristics of historical entities and issues faced by the historical entities. Likewise, the central database system trains machine-learned models configured to predict actions that entities are likely to take in the future, and resources required to take those actions. The central database system can then perform one or more proactive actions or make one or more recommendations based on the predicted issues, the predicted future actions, and the predicted required resources.
