Publication number: 20240127804Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer readable medium embodiments for machine learning systems to process interactive communications between at least two participants. Speech and text within the interactive communications are analyzed using machine learning models to infer insights located within the interactive communications. The inferred insights are converted to descriptive text or audio and tagged to the interactive communication as graphics or audio whispers reflecting the insights added to the interactive communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Anup SHIRODKAR, Thomas ZAHORIK, Matthew C. FORD, Miguel DE LA ROCHA, Sara R. MCDOLE, Robert L. SCHOLTZ, III, Raghav SAHAI, Kevin T. SHAFFER, Trent F. HODGES, Avinash KAWALE, David ABER

Publication number: 20190192115Abstract: Systems and method are provided for evaluating a biomechanical property of tissue. A shear wave generator induces a shear wave in the tissue. An optical imaging system captures video in the visible light spectrum comprising a series of image frames of the tissue during the shear wave. An image processing component determines, at each of a plurality of locations, a speed at which the shear wave travels within the tissue from the series of image frames. A parameter calculation component calculates a value for the biomechanical property from the determined speed of the shear wave at a plural subset of the plurality of locations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2017Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventors: Matthew R. Ford, William J. Dupps

Patent number: 9918622Abstract: A device for determining the presence of abnormal fluid in a middle ear of a subject includes an elongated probe, a first light source housed within the elongated probe, and a second light source housed within the elongated probe. The elongated probe includes a distal end for inspection of an ear. The First light source is configured to convey an optical beam through a tympanic membrane associated with the middle ear of the subject, without puncturing the tympanic membrane. The second light source is configured to convey light through the distal end of the elongated probe and illuminate the tympanic membrane.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignees: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Case Western Reserve UniversityInventors: Rahul Seth, Matthew R. Ford, Andrew M. Rollins, Paul R. Krakovitz

Patent number: 9854964Abstract: Systems and method are provided for evaluating a biomechanical property of tissue. A shear wave generator is configured to induce a shear wave in the tissue. An optical coherence tomography (OCT) imager is configured to capture a B-scan frame of the tissue. An image processing component is configured to determine a frequency of the shear wave in the tissue from the B-scan frame of the tissue at each of a plurality of locations within the B-scan. A parameter calculation component is configured to calculate a value for the biomechanical property for a plural subset of the plurality of locations within the B-scan frame of the tissue from the determined frequency of the shear wave at each of the plural subset of the plurality of locations.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2015Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignees: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Case Western Reserve UniversityInventors: William J.

Patent number: 8379901Abstract: A speaker assembly mounted on a bracket extending from a ceiling comprises an enclosure that includes a bottom wall, side walls including opposing first and second side walls, a sleeve that receives a tubular member of the bracket, and an interior wall having a first segment that extends from the sleeve to the first side wall and a second segment that extends from the sleeve to the second side wall. The interior wall cooperates with the sleeve to divide the enclosure into two approximately equal sized compartments. Each of the speakers within the assembly either forms, or is mounted in or on, one of the side walls. A top plate is mounted on, and forms a top of, the enclosure and seals the two compartments, the top plate having an opening that is aligned with the sleeve when the top plate is mounted on the enclosure. A power unit and circuitry for the speakers are mounted on the top plate.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2010Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Rajeev Mishra, Maurice N. Leacock, Matthew R. Ford
