Publication number: 20240090926Abstract: The present invention provides methods of forming flexible implant devices and U-bridge implants that drive into curved trajectories to enhance implant fixation in bone. The curved drilling trajectories avoid regions of low bone mineral density, such that flexible implants and/or U-bridge implants driven into the curved drilling trajectories are anchored in regions of high bone mineral density to improve the stability of bone fixation. The flexible implants and U-bridge implants are suitable for several applications, including but not limited to spinal fixation, orthopedic bone fixation, and neurosurgery.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Farshid Alambeigi, Amir Hossein Eskandari Shahrabi, Alexander Cohen, Jordan Amadio

Publication number: 20180308481Abstract: A system that transforms queries for each dialogue domain into constraint graphs, including both constraints explicitly provided by the user as well as implicit constraints that are inherent to the domain. Once all the domain-specific constraints have been collected into a graph, general-purpose domain-independent algorithms can be used to draw inferences for both intent disambiguation and constraint propagation. Given a candidate interpretation of a user utterance as the posting, modification, or retraction of a constraint, constraint inference techniques such as arc consistency and satisfiability checking can be used to answer questions. The underlying engine can also handle soft constraints, in cases where the constraint may be violated for some cost or in cases where there are different degrees of violations.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2018Publication date: October 25, 2018Applicant: Semantic Machines, Inc.Inventors: Jordan Cohen, Daniel Klein, David Leo Wright Hall, Jason Wolfe, Daniel Roth

Publication number: 20180203833Abstract: A data collection system is based on a general set of dialogue acts which are derived from a database schema. Crowd workers perform two types of tasks: (i) identification of sensical dialogue paths and (ii) performing context-dependent paraphrasing of these dialogue paths into real dialogues. The end output of the system is a set of training examples of real dialogues which have been annotated with their logical forms. This data can be used to train all three components of the dialogue system: (i) the semantic parser for understanding context-dependent utterances, (ii) the dialogue policy for generating new dialogue acts given the current state, and (iii) the generation system for both deciding what to say and how to render it in natural language.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2017Publication date: July 19, 2018Applicant: Semantic Machines, Inc.Inventors: Percy Shuo Liang, Daniel Klein, Laurence Gillick, Jordan Cohen, Linda Kathleen Arsenault, Joshua Clausman, Adam Pauls, David Hall

Patent number: 9712870Abstract: A system for detecting how many users are watching a given media device, including audio/visual output means such as a television or computer monitor, a monitoring device such as a television or computer monitor, a video capturing device, server means, and a programmable database that registers the users watching a given media content during a predetermined time in a given space. Monitoring means continuously scans the given space for new, unregistered users to charge them for viewing the media content. Once users have registered and paid for the media content, the content is released from the system's servers or a third party's servers and displayed on the audio/visual output means.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Inventors: Dennis Gonzalez, Jordan Cohen

Patent number: 8949815Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing device drivers includes requesting a device driver update set for a plurality of devices connectable to a computing device. The method also includes receiving the device driver update set, installing each driver of the device driver update set on the computing device. At least one updated driver in the update set is an updated driver for a device that is disconnected from the computing device at the time of the request. The method further includes configuring the at least one updated driver for the non-connected to activate when the device is detected by the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2013Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mark Henriksen Phaedrus, Faisal Ansari, Jordan Cohen, James Cavalaris, Adam Lenart, Ullattil Shaji, Rajiv Poonamalli, Sharad Goel

Publication number: 20140359593Abstract: A computer-implemented method for maintaining update dependencies includes receiving, at a computing device, an update set from an update service. The update set may include a dependent set including a first update having a dependency on a second update in the update set. The first and second updates are separated from the update set and installed. Upon installation, an activation condition may be applied to the first and second updates.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2013Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Jordan Cohen, Mark Henriksen Phaedrus, Michael Ratanapintha, Faisal Ansari, Rajiv Poonamalli, Rajasekaran Rangarajan, James Cavalaris, David J.

Patent number: 8713949Abstract: A refrigerator includes a sensing system for detecting a level and quality of ice cubes in an ice cube storage bin. The sensing system employs a digital image capture device that is coupled to a digital image analyzing system which scans digital images of the ice cube storage bin captured by the digital image capture device to determine a level of ice cubes in the ice cube storage bin. Digital images of the ice cubes are contrasted against a reference image which provides a point of comparison for determining the level of ice cubes in the ice cube storage bin and controlling ice production cycles of the ice maker. The sensing system also analyzes edge portions of the ice cubes to determine ice cube quality.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2007Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Kevin M.
