Patent number: 11935082Abstract: Computer-based systems and methods for discovering neighborhood clusters in a geographic region, where the clusters have a mix of venues and are determined based on venue check-in data. The mix of venues for the clusters may be based on the social similarity between pairs of venues; or emblematic of certain neighborhood typologies; or emblematic of temporal check-in pattern types; or combinations thereof. The neighborhood clusters that are so discovered through venue-check in data could be used for many commercial and civic purposes.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Carnegie Mellon UniversityInventors: Justin Cranshaw, Raz Schwartz, Jason I. Hong, Norman Sadeh-Koniecpol

Patent number: 11826139Abstract: Provided is a system, method, and apparatus for tracking a body. The method includes communicating at least one activation signal to each RF transponder of a first array and a second array, receiving a plurality of response signals from the first array and the second array, the plurality of response signals comprising a response signal for each RF transponder of the first array and the second array, determining a difference in distances between the antenna and each RF transponder of the first array and each transponder of the second array based at least partially on at least one corresponding response signal of the plurality of response signals, and determining a relative location of the first portion of the body and the second portion of the body.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Carnegie Mellon UniversityInventors: Haojian Jin, Zhijian Yang, Swarun Kumar Suresh Kumar, Jason I.

Patent number: 11796304Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product is provided for tracking the shape of a surface. The method includes generating a first plurality of surface models based on the surface, each surface model associated with surface parameter values and representing a different shape, determining an estimated position of the plurality of RF transponders on each surface model of the first plurality of surface models, communicating at least one activation signal to the plurality of RF transponders arranged on the surface, the surface comprising an unknown shape, receiving a plurality of response signals from at least a subset of the plurality of RF transponders, determining radio environment parameters for each surface model of the first plurality of surface models, and determining at least one selected surface model of the first plurality of surface models.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Carnegie Mellon UniversityInventors: Haojian Jin, Jingxian Wang, Swarun Kumar Suresh Kumar, Jason I.

Publication number: 20220141928Abstract: Provided is a system and method for heating an item in a microwave oven. The method includes capturing, with at least one electromagnetic field sensor, at least one electromagnetic field measurement of a microwave chamber, each electromagnetic field measurement of the at least one electromagnetic field measurement corresponding to a region in the microwave chamber, generating an electromagnetic field map of the microwave chamber based on the at least one electromagnetic field measurement, capturing, with at least one sensor, a plurality of thermal measurements of the item being heated in the microwave chamber, each thermal measurement of the plurality of thermal measurements corresponding to a region on the item, and controlling at least one of a position of the item and the electromagnetic field while the item is being heated in the microwave chamber based on the electromagnetic field map and the plurality of thermal measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Jason I Hong, Haojian Jin, Swarun Kumar Suresh Kumar, Jingxian Wang

The mix of venues for the clusters may be based on the social similarity between pairs of venues; or emblematic of certain neighborhood typologies; or emblematic of temporal check-in pattern types; or combinations thereof. The neighborhood clusters that are so discovered through venue-check in data could be used for many commercial and civic purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2022Publication date: April 28, 2022Inventors: Justin Cranshaw, Raz Schwartz, Jason I.

Patent number: 7668903Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates dynamic delivery of service profiles to a client. During operation, the system performs a discovery operation to allow the client to discover new services on a network. If a new service is discovered for which the client does not possess a service profile, the client to obtains the service profile from the new service and subsequently installs it, thereby enabling the client to interact with the new service.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2003Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Warren Keith Edwards, Mark Webster Newman, Trevor Fredrick Smith, Jana Zdislava Sedivy, Karen Marcelo, Shahram Izadi, Jason I.
