  • Non-invasive diagnostic systems and methods for using the same
    Patent number: 11714114
    Abstract: A method of measuring electromagnetic interference (EMI) to noninvasively identify component degradation or failure in power electronics circuitry. The method involves characterizing the degradation or failure characteristics of the component and modeling those characteristics to enable a machine learning algorithm to identify EMI frequency distribution characteristics that correspond to the degradation or failure. The EMI frequency distribution is measured and the data provided to the machine learning algorithm whereupon the algorithm identifies degradation or failures indicated by the measured data.

  • Object preview in a mixed reality environment
    Patent number: 11403829
    Abstract: Users can view images or renderings of items placed (virtually) within a physical space. For example, a rendering of an item can be placed within a live camera view of the physical space. A snapshot of the physical space can be captured and the snapshot can be customized, shared, etc. The renderings can be represented as two-dimensional images, e.g., virtual stickers or three-dimensional models of the items. Users can have the ability to view different renderings, move those items around, and develop views of the physical space that may be desirable. The renderings can link to products offered through an electronic marketplace and those products can be consumed. Further, collaborative design is enabled through modeling the physical space and enabling users to view and move around the renderings in a virtual view of the physical space.

  • Computer vision based tracking of item utilization
    Patent number: 11232511
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide techniques for generating a virtual wardrobe in which wearing of items can be tracked through computer vision. In various embodiments, computer vision techniques can be used to identify individual clothing items from an image or video of a closet containing a collection of clothes, in which some of the items may be partially obscured, such as positioned behind other items, folded, at an odd viewing angle, shadowed, or the like. Through the present techniques, the clothing items may be automatically cataloged, and utilization of individual items can be tracked automatically based on additional image data of instances in which an item is worn. Various recommendations can then be made based on the attributes of the items in the virtual wardrobe or utilization of the items.
