  • Publication number: 20250113996
    Abstract: A method implemented in an ophthalmic laser system to perform iris registration based on two iris images taken with the patient at upright and supine positions, respectively. For each iris image, the iris region is transformed into a rectangular rubbersheet, with the radial and angular coordinates of the iris image respectively mapped to vertical and horizontal coordinates of the rubbersheet. A horizontal one-dimensional log-Gabor transform is applied to the rubbersheet line-by-line. The transformed rubbersheet is binarized line-by-line. The two binary rubbersheets are compared at a series of relative horizontal shifts to determine the horizontal shift value that produces the lowest Hamming distance between the two binary rubbersheets, and the cyclotorsion rotation of the eye between the upright and supine positions is calculated accordingly.

  • Patent number: 12273783
    Abstract: Systems and methods may facilitate initial establishment and/or handover of an air-to-ground (ATG) communication link between an aircraft and a ground-based cellular communication network (e.g., a 5G network). The systems and methods may be particularly applicable for an aircraft having a user equipment (UE) antenna that uses narrow beamforming to connect to a cell of a base station (gNB). The UE identifies candidate cells based upon the location of the UE and locations and orientations of cells in the network, identifies a cell having a higher likelihood of connection success compare to other cells, and directs a beam to the chosen cell. The systems and methods may enable the UE to create neighbor lists in real time based upon the UE location, and may prevent blind searching normally associated with narrow beamforming methods.

  • Patent number: 12270967
    Abstract: Field calibration of a pressure device involves collecting simultaneous pressure data or pressure and temperature data at two devices for multiple time points. Pressure differences between pairs of simultaneous data points of the collected pressure data are calculated. A model is fitted to the pressure differences and the temperatures and/or pressures, and model parameters are used to correct measurements from the second device. Alternatively, a pressure gradient is estimated for a region that encompasses the two devices for each time point. A distance is determined between the two devices. A pressure gradient difference is determined between the two devices for each time point. A pressure difference offset is obtained for one of the pairs of simultaneous data points for each time point. An average pressure difference offset is determined between the two devices and is used to correct measurements from one of the devices.

  • Publication number: 20250112917
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described herein that use a user-agent-based non-extractable cryptographic keypair to generate a cryptographic proof containing a device fingerprint that an authentication system can use to subsequently identify and/or register a known device. Specifically, the systems disclosed herein may generate the device's “fingerprint” in an isolated and secured environment. Although the private key cannot be extracted from the isolated and secured environment, the authentication system can verify the truthfulness of the device's identity. This cryptographic “fingerprint,” in concert with a synchronous authentication system, has the ability to essentially eliminate authentication phishing.

  • Publication number: 20250111400
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for the aggregation and analysis of vehicle prices via a geo-specific model. Data may be collected at various geo-specific levels such as a ZIP-Code level to provide greater data resolution. Data sets taken into account may include demarcation point data sets and data sets based on vehicle transactions. A demarcation point data set may be based on consumer market factors that influence car-buying behavior. Vehicle transactions may be classified into data sets for other vehicles having similar characteristics to the vehicle. A geo-specific statistical pricing model may then be applied to the data sets based on similar characteristics to a particular vehicle to produce a price estimation for the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12260572
    Abstract: A method includes determining, based on an image having an initial viewpoint, a depth image, and determining a foreground visibility map including visibility values that are inversely proportional to a depth gradient of the depth image. The method also includes determining, based on the depth image, a background disocclusion mask indicating a likelihood that pixel of the image will be disoccluded by a viewpoint adjustment. The method additionally includes generating, based on the image, the depth image, and the background disocclusion mask, an inpainted image and an inpainted depth image. The method further includes generating, based on the depth image and the inpainted depth image, respectively, a first three-dimensional (3D) representation of the image and a second 3D representation of the inpainted image, and generating a modified image having an adjusted viewpoint by combining the first and second 3D representation based on the foreground visibility map.

  • Patent number: 12261081
    Abstract: Methods for selective inhibition control in semiconductor manufacturing are provided. An example method includes providing a substrate including a feature having one or more feature openings and a feature interior. A nucleation layer is formed on a surface of the feature interior. Based on a differential inhibition profile, a nonconformal bulk layer is selectively formed on a surface of the nucleation layer to leave a region of the nucleation layer covered, and a region of the nucleation layer uncovered by the nonconformal bulk layer. An inhibition layer is selectively formed on the covered and uncovered regions of the nucleation layer. Tungsten is deposited in the feature in accordance with the differential inhibition profile.

  • Patent number: 12259752
    Abstract: A case assembly selectively encases and displays a mobile communications device. The case assembly includes or incorporates a segmented cradle assembly configured to adjustably cradle variously sized mobile communications devices. The segmented cradle assembly includes an anterior panel, a posterior panel, and a plurality of device-holding cradle segments. Each device-holding cradle segment includes a panel-opposing portion and a device-cradling portion. The anterior panel is spaced from the posterior panel, and the panel-opposing portions are loosely sandwiched intermediate the anterior panel and the posterior panel. The panel-opposing portions are further attached to the panels by way of an elastic tether member. The cradle segments are displaceable relative to the panels and to one another via the elastic tether members for varying a distance between the device-holding cradle segments thereby being adjustable for receiving and cradling variously sized mobile communications devices.
