Patent number: 11972052Abstract: Human interactive texture generation and search systems and methods are described. A deep convolutional generative adversarial network is used for mapping information in a latent space into texture models. An interactive evolutionary computation algorithm for searching a texture through an evolving latent space driven by human preference is also described. Advantages of a generative model and an evolutionary computation are combined to realize a controllable and bounded texture tuning process under the guidance of human preferences. Additionally, a fully haptic user interface is described, which can be used to evaluate the systems and methods in terms of their efficiency and accuracy of searching and generating new virtual textures that are closely representative of given real textures.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAInventors: Shihan Lu, Heather Culbertson, Matthew Fontaine, Mianlun Zheng

Patent number: 11959945Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of an open-loop test system for testing vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). A high-speed pulse generator may be used to produce nanoseconds pulses provided to the VCSEL device. A high-speed oscilloscope may be used to measure the resultant nanoseconds pulses across the VCSEL device. The VCSEL device voltage and VCSEL device current may be obtained from the measured nanosecond pulses according to compensation data derived from the system. A pre-test compensation procedure may be used to obtain the compensation data, which may include representative characteristics of each system component.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: National Instruments CorporationInventors: Jun Lu, John George Banaska, Matthew Tate Dougan, Jeffrey Allan Cornell, Wendi Song, Xuechen Han, Kunal Harsad Patel

Patent number: 11932369Abstract: A device for coupling a propulsor to a marine vessel. The device includes a mounting bracket configured for attachment to the marine vessel. A support frame has a carriage and is configured for the propulsor to be coupled thereto, where the carriage is configured to slidably engage with the mounting bracket into a fixed position. A member is manually engageable to prevent the carriage from sliding out of the fixed position. The propulsor is coupled to the marine vessel by sliding the carriage into the fixed position and engaging the member, where the propulsor is operable to propel the marine vessel in water when the carriage is in the fixed position, and where the propulsor is configured for decoupling from the marine vessel by disengaging the member and sliding the carriage out of engagement with the mounting bracket.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Brunswick CorporationInventors: Andres Perdomo Tornbaum, Tom Geng, Steven Lu, Matthew Z.

Patent number: 11934417Abstract: Data intake and query system (DIQS) instances supporting applications including lower-tier, focused, work group oriented applications, are tailored to display the metrics for the needs of the user. An interface caused by operation of an entity monitoring system (EMS) operating in conjunction with the lower-tier DIQS displays the monitored entities as individual representations. The user selects a metric and a metric threshold. The EMS causes a display of an interface having a representation for each monitored entity. Each representation includes a metric value and indicates an entity status based on the metric value and the threshold. The user can dynamically change the threshold on the interface for easy visualization of aggregation of monitored entities to determine the performance of the infrastructure. The interface also provides the user with the ability to select an entity and click through to the entity analysis workspace for more detailed information.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Ai-Chi Lu, Arun Ramani, Nicholas Matthew Tankersley
