Publication number: 20240152781Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a host system that can convert human-readable rules (e.g., statutes, regulations, laws, etc.) into a semantic model. The host system can then apply the semantic model to a set of circumstances to determine whether and how the rule applies to the circumstances. In one example, the method may include storing a knowledge graph with a semantic model of a rule embodied therein with nodes representing entities within the rule, edges between the nodes representing relationships between the entities, and identifiers of an input data set used by the rule, receiving input data corresponding to the rule, generating a determination from the rule via execution of the semantic model embodied within the knowledge graph on the received input data, and displaying a notification of the determination via a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Markus Schmidt-Karaca, Wolfgang Nobeling, Michael Hoerisch

Publication number: 20230396950Abstract: A more efficient rendering of audio objects, which allows 3D panning, is achieved by performing the panning into two stages, namely at least one horizontal in-layer panning leading to a first virtual (speaker) position and a second virtual or real (speaker) position, which is vertically offset, and another panning vertically between the two positions. Although acting in such a manner seems to increase the computational complexity, this staged processing increases, in fact, the stability of the rendering and the location of the intended virtual position. Moreover, the staged processing, enables to perform, according to an embodiment, the panning by use of amplitude panning gains only, i.e. phase processing is not necessary, thereby rendering the computational complexity low. Even further, the rendering is flexible with respect to applicability to a variety of loudspeaker setups.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Andreas WALTHER, Christof FALLER, Jürgen HERRE, Markus SCHMIDT, Christian BORSS, Julian KLAPP, Philipp GÖTZ

Patent number: 11740170Abstract: A method operates a measuring device used to determine a fluid variable. The measuring devices contains a vibration transducer driven to excite a wave in the fluid due to a test excitation signal. The wave is guided along a propagation path back to the vibration transducer or to an additional vibration transducer, thereby exciting the (additional) vibration transducer to vibrate. An output signal relating to this vibration is acquired, and a frequency of that segment of the output signal that lies in an analysis interval is determined. The analysis interval starts once the driving of the vibration transducer to excite the wave has finished, and/or once a maximum of the amplitude of the vibration is reached. The determination of the fluid variable is performed based on the determined frequency. An error message or a notification is output to a user and/or to a device external to the measuring device.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Diehl Metering GmbHInventors: Michael Mayle, Andreas Madinger, Alexander Hofmann, Markus Schmidt

Patent number: 11671757Abstract: An audio processor for providing loudspeaker signals on the basis of input signals, like channel signals and/or object signals, obtains an information about the position of a listener and an information about the position of a plurality of loudspeakers, or sound transducers. The audio processor selects one or more loudspeakers for a rendering of the objects and/or of the channel objects and/or of the adapted signals, derived from the input signals. The selection depends on the information about the position of the listener and about the positions of the loudspeakers and takes into consideration the information about one or more acoustic obstacles. The audio signal processor renders the objects/channel objects/adapted signals derived from the input signals, in dependence on the information about the position of the listener and about positions of the loudspeakers, in order to obtain the loudspeaker signals, such that a rendered sound follows a listener.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Andreas Walther, Jürgen Herre, Julian Klapp, Christof Faller, Markus Schmidt

Patent number: 11580440Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media and systems are disclosed for building, deploying, operating, and maintaining an intelligent dynamic form in which a trained machine learning (ML) model is embedded. A universe of questions is associated with a plurality of output classifiers, which could represent eligibilities for respective benefits. The questions are partitioned into blocks. Each block can be associated with one or more of the classifiers, and each classifier can have a dependency on one or more blocks. An ML model is trained to make inferences from varied combinations of responses to questions and pre-existing data, and determine probabilities or predictions of values of the output classifiers. Based on outputs of the trained model, blocks of questions can be selectively rendered. The trained model is packaged with the question blocks and other components suitably for offline deployment. Uploading collected responses and maintenance of the dynamic form are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2016Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Markus Schmidt-Karaca

Patent number: 11567930Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for data retrieval, from databases to clients, in an environment requiring runtime authorization. In response to a request for T data records, a learning module provides a prediction R of a suitable number of data records to retrieve from a database. Following retrieval of R records or record identifiers, authorization is sought from an authorization service, resulting in A of the records being authorized. The A authorized records are returned to the requesting client, and, if more records are needed, T is decremented and the cycle is repeated. A performance notification is provided to the learning module for training, with respect to providing values of prediction R. The performance notification can be based on a measure of authorization service performance, the number A of authorized records, latency, communication or resource costs, a measure of resource congestion, or other parameters. Variants are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2017Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Apoorv Bhargava, Madathiveetil Bipin, Markus Schmidt-Karaca, Ismail Basha, Gonda Marcusse, Vishnu Kare, Praveen Kumar, Neenu Vincent
