  • Patent number: 11675921
    Abstract: A computing system for enabling the analysis of multiple raw data sets whilst protecting the privacy of information within the raw data sets, the system comprising a plurality of synthetic data generators and a data hub. Each synthetic data generator is configured to: access a corresponding raw data set stored in a corresponding one of a plurality of raw data stores; produce, based on the corresponding raw data set, a synthetic data generator model configured to generate a synthetic data set representative of the corresponding raw data set; and push synthetic information including at least one of the corresponding synthetic data set and the synthetic data generator model to the data hub. The data hub is configured to store the synthetic information received from the synthetic data generators for access by one or more clients for analysis.

  • Patent number: 11675808
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and wired and wireless network communications to provide an interface between repositories of disparate datasets and computing machine-based entities that seek access to the datasets, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that facilitates consolidation of one or more datasets, whereby a collaborative data layer and associated logic facilitate, for example, efficient access to, and implementation of, collaborative datasets. In some examples, a method may include receiving a dataset having a data format into a dataset ingestion controller configured to form a collaborative dataset, interpreting data of the dataset against data classifications at an inference engine to derive at least an inferred attribute, associating the data with annotative data identifying the inferred attribute, and converting the dataset at a format converter to form an atomized dataset.

  • Publication number: 20230179983
    Abstract: In an approach for monitoring a user's in-flight activity and/or a pattern of movement of a user and warning the user of an in-flight activity or a pattern of movement that could lead to a potential short-term or long-term injury, a processor monitors a body movement and a posture of a user through an application of micro-location analysis enabled by a mesh network of 5G sensors over a period of time. A processor determines whether the body movement and the posture detected can lead to an activity or a series of activities that can result in a potential injury. Responsive to determining a pre-set threshold of risk has been reached, a processor issues a real time alert to the user to warn of the potential injury.

  • Patent number: 11658712
    Abstract: A method for reducing adaptive beam forming computation resources for estimating and updating a model of unwrapped beam weights. The optimal beam pattern weights of an antenna array are estimated using an adaptive beamforming algorithm. An initial model is created for either magnitude or phase components of the optimal beam pattern weights computed from the adaptive beamforming algorithm estimates. For each time step, a measurement of optimal beam pattern weights is estimated, using a reduced set of data comprising 5-20% of first samples of signal reference data. New beam pattern weights are computed using a magnitude Kalman filter (KF) and/or phase KF, wherein the computation resources required to obtain the new beam pattern weights are reduced by 80 to 90% over an adaptive beam forming algorithm.

  • Publication number: 20230152085
    Abstract: There is provided an optical positioning system including a detected surface, an optical sensor, a register and a processor. The detected surface has interleaved bright regions and dark regions arranged in a transverse direction. The optical sensor captures an image frame of the detected surface within a field of view thereof and using a shutter time, wherein the detected surface and the optical sensor have a relative movement in the transverse direction. The register records a type of a last passed edge. The processor calculates a first position using a first algorithm upon the recorded last passed edge being a bright-to-dark edge and the field of view being aligned with one of the dark regions, and calculates a second position using a second algorithm, different from the first algorithm, upon the recorded last passed edge being a dark-to-bright edge and the field of view being aligned with the same one of the dark regions.
