  • Publication number: 20250021855
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method includes removing a last feed forward layer from a pre-trained neural network. The method further includes appending the pre-trained neural network with a secondary last feed forward layer configured to output a plurality of parameters. The method further includes updating each one of the plurality of parameters by: 1) multiplying each one of the plurality of parameters by a first factor to produce a plurality of resultant parameters; and 2) adding a second term to each one of the plurality of resultant parameters, wherein both the first factor and the second term vary due to backpropagation. The method further includes using a loss function to determine the distance between a known class embedding and an input from an input dataset. Lastly, the method includes updating one or more weights associated with the number of variables in the pre-trained neural network.

  • Patent number: 12194239
    Abstract: A flexible patient interface structure includes a posterior portion with at least one thin flexible membrane configured to form a seal with the patient's face in use. A wall thickness of the posterior portion is varied. An anterior portion of the flexible patient interface forms a chamber with the posterior portion and has a central gas washout vent region. A wall thickness of the anterior portion is thicker at the central gas washout vent region than at other adjacent regions. First and second laterally extending protrusions are configured to receive the breathable gas from an air delivery tube or air delivery tube connector. The central gas washout vent region is located between the first and second laterally extending protrusions and comprises an array of vent openings. Each of the first and second laterally extending protrusions terminates at a distal end that is furthest from the other laterally extending protrusion.

  • Publication number: 20240169293
    Abstract: Described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support predictive assessments of vendor risk. The described techniques provide for machine learning and modeling to produce predictive risk profiles for vendors (e.g., even without security profile data provided by the vendor). Various described techniques may also produce unique insights across an entire portfolio of third parties using instant, predictive risk assessment results. Predictive risk profiles predict how a given vendor will answer each question in a standardized assessment based on one or more parameters (e.g., firmographics), both outside-in data and inside-out data, and similar completed assessments stored on an exchange associated with the system.

  • Patent number: 11941629
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing instructions when receiving biometric data associated with a user. For instance, a device may detect a portion of a user, such as a hand. The device may then display a first graphical element indicating a target location for placing the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. Additionally, the device may determine locations of the portion of the user above the device. The device may then display a second graphical element indicating the locations, such as when the locations are not proximate to the target location. Additionally, the device may display instructions for moving the portion of the user to the target location. Based on detecting that the location of the portion of the user is proximate to the target location, the device may send data representing the portion of the user to a remote system.
