Patent number: 11873120Abstract: An antenna array has a plurality of square or rectangular antenna assemblies. Each assembly includes a first antenna assembly surface with a solar cell and a second antenna assembly with one or more antenna elements. The antenna assemblies are interconnected without gaps therebetween to form a first contiguous array surface comprised of the first antenna assembly surfaces and a second contiguous array surface comprised of the second antenna assembly surfaces. The antenna assemblies are connected together by mechanically stored-energy connectors, such as spring tape, that self-deploy the array in space without the use of electric energy.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: AST & Science, LLCInventors: Avi Braun, Aitor Martinez De Osaba Fernandez, Javier Hernandez Bahlsen, Abel Avellan, Huiwen Yao, Adam H.

Publication number: 20230419581Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that are directed to generating video sequences including physio-realistic avatars. In examples, an albedo for an avatar is received, a sub-surface skin color associated with the albedo is modified based on physiological data associated with physiologic characteristic, and an avatar based on the albedo and the modified sub-surface skin color is rendered. The rendered avatar may then be synthesized in a frame of video. In some examples, a video including the synthesized avatar may be used to train a machine learning model to detect a physiological characteristic. The machine learning model may receive a plurality of video segments, where one or more of the video segments includes a synthetic physio-realistic avatar generated with the physiological characteristic.

Publication number: 20230334514Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to generating an engagement model to predict actions that may have a high probability of maintaining user engagement in-application or causing a user to reengage with the application. To generate the engagement model, an approach has been developed which incorporates features analysis of the application and application users. Users may be grouped based on similar features that are used to generate machine learning engagement models. The output of an engagement model may be a prediction on whether a user will continue to engage with an application. The prediction may be provided to a reengagement model which may output prompts to help increase user engagement with the application. The prompts may be based on an understanding of application users and their preferences.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2022Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Javier HERNANDEZ RIVERA, Mar GONZALEZ FRANCO, Melanie J.

Publication number: 20220358308Abstract: The present disclosure relate to highlighting audience members with reactions to a presenter of an online meeting. Unlike physical, fact-to-face meeting that enables spontaneous interactions among the presenter and the audiences that are collocated with the presenter, presenting materials during an online meeting raises an issue of the present not being able to see real-time reactions or feedback by the audience members. The present disclosure addresses the issue by dynamically determining one or more audience members who indicate reactions during the online meeting or presentation and displaying faces of the one or more audience members under spotlight to the presenter. The presenter sees faces of the audience members with reactions during the online presentation and responds to the audience members and keep the audience engaged. The spotlight audience server analyzes video frames and determines types of reactions of the audience members.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2021Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Javier HERNANDEZ RIVERA, Daniel J.

Patent number: 11370757Abstract: Crosslinkers of an amide or thiocarbamate of 7-nitroindoline were prepared with at least two attached reactive groups for crosslinking capability. The photo-cleavability of the invented crosslinkers is based on the known photolysis behavior of N-acyl-7-nitroindolines, and the photolysis behavior of amides and thiocarbamates of 7-nitroindolines. These crosslinkers enable crosslinking of biopolymers, which can be reversed by illumination with light.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas SystemInventors: Katja Michael, Chunqlang Li, Thomas Boland, Hector P.
