  • Patent number: 11977352
    Abstract: Digital holographic microscopy and related image processing techniques are described. A hologram captured in an image frame is split into different depths while a new hologram is being captured. Image slices of the hologram are determined and using free space impulse responses that are pre-calculated at a different precision than processing operations using the holographic data. Each computation is calculated in parallel based on the number of available processing cores and threads. The image slices are combined into a 2D array or 3D array to permit further processing of the combined array to count and size particles in the image frame. The reconstructed hologram is displayed at a subsequent image frame than that used to capture the hologram.

  • Publication number: 20200356927
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a transportation matching system that utilizes one or more balancer models to generate an electronic communication distribution strategy based on relative impacts of provider-specific and requester-specific levers over a target time horizon. The disclosed systems utilize the balancer models to generate predictive functions for providers and requesters to determine lever content to distribute (e.g., within electronic communications) to providers and/or requesters to efficiently and/or effectively produce acquisition and/or engagement for a target time horizon. Based on the predictive functions, the disclosed systems generate an electronic communication distribution strategy to provide (or cause to be provided) electronic communications to providers and requesters to efficiently and effectively increase or decrease acquisition and/or engagement.
