  • Publication number: 20250094433
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for combinatorial data outlier detection via database query statement generation. A table comprising rows and columns is received, wherein each column comprises records and a corresponding data element. A datatype to be assigned to each data element is determined, based on each column and using a first machine learning model. Conditions are generated for columns corresponding to each data element. The conditions are combined into a predetermined number of condition combinations, wherein the condition combinations comprise combinatorial sequencing of the conditions. A query statement is generated for each of the condition combinations. The table in queried with each query statement to determine query results. A data element quantity and a record quantity in the query results are determined for each query statement.

  • Publication number: 20250085553
    Abstract: Display devices include waveguides with in-coupling optical elements that mitigate re-bounce of in-coupled light to improve in-coupling efficiency and/or uniformity. A waveguide receives light from a light source and includes an in-coupling optical element that in-couples the received light to propagate by total internal reflection within the waveguide. The in-coupled light may undergo re-bounce, in which the light reflects off a waveguide surface and, after the reflection, strikes the in-coupling optical element. Upon striking the in-coupling optical element, the light may be partially absorbed and/or out-coupled by the optical element, thereby reducing the amount of in-coupled light propagating through the waveguide.

  • Patent number: 12181679
    Abstract: Display devices include waveguides with in-coupling optical elements that mitigate re-bounce of in-coupled light to improve overall in-coupling efficiency and/or uniformity. A waveguide receives light from a light source and/or projection optics and includes an in-coupling optical element that in-couples the received light to propagate by total internal reflection in a propagation direction within the waveguide. Once in-coupled into the waveguide the light may undergo re-bounce, in which the light reflects off a waveguide surface and, after the reflection, strikes the in-coupling optical element. Upon striking the in-coupling optical element, the light may be partially absorbed and/or out-coupled by the optical element, thereby effectively reducing the amount of in-coupled light propagating through the waveguide.

  • Patent number: 10742733
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for acquiring media of the same event from multiple devices. The systems and methods enable wireless communication, specifically over a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless personal area network, between multiple media devices, such as personal or consumer devices (i.e., consumer smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, including action cameras, or other computing devices capable to capturing media content in the form of image, video, or audio data) at an event. The systems and methods further enable synchronization, via a specialized timing protocol, between the multiple media devices, over the BLE network, including synchronization of the media content captured by each of the media devices at the event. The present invention further includes an accessory device configured to provide for expansion of communication and synchronization of media devices, specifically bridging a short range BLE network with a long range RF network.
