  • Patent number: 11995803
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a text prompt and executes a text encoder on the text prompt to generate an embedding representation. A set of base images is generated based on the embedding representation and parameters of a base image generation model. A high resolution model is executed to upsample one or more base images in the set of base images based on parameters of the high resolution model to generate a set of final images. The method ranks the set of base images or the set of final images using reward values that are generated by a reward model. The reward model is trained using human input that provided feedback on a quality of generated images using the base image generation model and the high resolution model. One or more final images are output based on the ranking in response to the text prompt.

  • Publication number: 20240164668
    Abstract: An optical measurement device includes a light source, a first detector, and a second detector. The light source emits light to a measurement site of a patient and one or more detectors detect the light from the light source. At least a portion of a detector is translucent and the light passes through the translucent portion prior to reaching the measurement site. A detector receives the light after attenuation and/or reflection or refraction by the measurement site. A processor determines a light intensity of the light source, a light intensity through a tissue site, or a light intensity of reflected or refracted light based on light detected by the one or more detectors. The processor can estimate a concentration of an analyte at the measurement site or an absorption or reflection at the measurement site.

  • Publication number: 20240169219
    Abstract: Implementation of a guided rules editor includes a rule compilation process comprising receiving, by an event handler, a compile rules event from a process external to the rule compiler. A set of rules is retrieved from a database and loading the set of rules into a memory by the event handler. Responsive to identifying any template rules, data is bound to the template rules. Both the template rules and any non-template rules are translated into a rules language specification. A rule compilation process is performed asynchronously from a rule execution process to translate the rule language specification into a knowledge base that is to be used as input by a rule execution process. A compile completion event is emitted at compile completion.

  • Publication number: 20240169443
    Abstract: This application discloses methods, systems, and computer-implemented virtualization software applications and computer-implemented graphical user interface tools for remote virtual visualization of structures. Images are captured by an imaging vehicle of a structure and the captured images are transmitted to a remote server via a communication network. Using virtual 3D digital modeling software the server, using the images received from the imaging vehicle, generates a virtual 3D digital model of the structure and stores it in a database. This virtual 3D digital model can be accessed by remote users, using virtualization software applications, and used to view images of the structure. The user is able to manipulate the images and to view them from various perspectives and compare the before-the-damage images with images taken after damage have occurred. Based on all this the user is enabled to remotely communicate with an insurance agent and/or file an insurance claim.
