Publication number: 20240121238Abstract: The technology disclosed teaches performing biometric app free authentication or authorization of a user to access a web-based application, with the user interacting with a workstation browser running on a workstation to access the web-based application using built-in resources of a smart/mobile device. A web application uses methods to authenticate and authorize users before the users are permitted to access the application. A demand exists for improving the security and ease of use of authentication and access management. Access management and authentication of users has evolved to more than just entering a username and password. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is common. The numerous paths involved in authentication use numerous forms of identification of users during the authentication journey.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: ForgeRock, Inc.Inventors: Justin CHIN, John Hamilton KIMBLE, II

Patent number: 11927668Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for employing deep learning to analyze radar signals. In an aspect, an on-board computer of a host vehicle receives, from a radar sensor of the vehicle, a plurality of radar frames, executes a neural network on a subset of the plurality of radar frames, and detects one or more objects in the subset of the plurality of radar frames based on execution of the neural network on the subset of the plurality of radar frames. Further, techniques for transforming polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates in a neural network are disclosed. In an aspect, a neural network receives a plurality of radar frames in polar coordinate space, a polar-to-Cartesian transformation layer of the neural network transforms the plurality of radar frames to Cartesian coordinate space, and the neural network outputs the plurality of radar frames in the Cartesian coordinate space.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Daniel Hendricus Franciscus Fontijne, Amin Ansari, Bence Major, Ravi Teja Sukhavasi, Radhika Dilip Gowaikar, Xinzhou Wu, Sundar Subramanian, Michael John Hamilton

Patent number: 11899132Abstract: Embodiments provided herein allow for identification of one or more regions of interest in a radar return signal that would be suitable for selected application of super-resolution processing. One or more super-resolution processing techniques can be applied to the identified regions of interest. The selective application of super-resolution processing techniques can reduce processing requirements and overall system delay. The output data of the super-resolution processing can be provided to a mobile computer system. The output data of the super-resolution processing can also be used to reconfigure the radar radio frequency front end to beam form the radar signal in region of the detected objects. The mobile computer system can use the output data for implementation of deep learning techniques. The deep learning techniques enable the vehicle to identify and classify detected objects for use in automated driving processes.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Makesh Pravin John Wilson, Volodimir Slobodyanyuk, Sundar Subramanian, Radhika Dilip Gowaikar, Michael John Hamilton, Amin Ansari

Patent number: 11731740Abstract: A seating system for marine vessels including a seat back, a seat cushion, and a seat substructure. The seat substructure is disposed beneath and supports the seat cushion. The seat substructure includes bi-lateral curved tracks and the seat back is slidingly engaged with each of the bi-lateral curved tracks. A seat arm is attached to either side of said seat back, extending through said seat cushion and slidingly attached to a respective bi-lateral curved track. A friction-defeating traveler track can be attached to the seat arm and engages the track. The seat back is readily moveable along the bi-lateral curved tracks between at least a first position and a second position along said track.

Patent number: 11722626Abstract: A system determines an object-design for a three-dimensional model of an object. The object-design may exhibit a design continuity. The system breaks the object-design in to spatial patterns corresponding to the discrete surfaces making up the outward surface of the object. The system then generates flattened patterns by projecting the spatial patterns into a two-dimensional plane. The system prints the flattened patterns on to designated regions of material sheets in an orientation that preserves the design continuity of the object-design. The regions may be extracted from the sheets and then joined at their edges to form a cover for object that exhibits the continuity of the object design.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Steelcase Inc.Inventor: John Hamilton

Publication number: 20230239534Abstract: Systems and methods for just in time (JIT) video on demand (VoD) transcoding using a computed context are provided. The context for each segment is computed rather than collected from the prior segment, thereby allowing for very short playback timing compared to batch transcoding techniques. Computed context requires the setting of a predictable media segment size, computing of a predictable playback time stamp (PTS) as a function of the predictable media segment size and a derived time offset value, and generating a prior audio segment including a priming portion and discard samples, and a “real” audio segments including playback samples. Then generating another primed segment for the time period of the “real” audio segment, and a subsequent “real” audio segment. This doubles the computational resources required over batch audio transcoding.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Henry John Hamilton Clout, Chad Eliott Sears
