Patent number: 12430093Abstract: An electronic shelf label (ESL) system is discussed. An ESL affixed to a shelf facing assists stock associates in managing products on the shelf. More particularly, the ESL may receive and display step-by-step instructions and/or graphical depictions on a display screen of the ESL that are received from a computing device-executed optimization module. The instructions may be generated to minimize the number of required actions by the stock associate and guide the associate in arranging products on the shelf. The displayed instructions may be determined based on a planogram. The planogram may be generated from a range of criteria including historical profit and loss data, inventory data, supply and demand data and/or labor cost data.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2024Date of Patent: September 30, 2025Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Michelle Collett, Michael McGuire, Yiqiang Su

Patent number: 12094199Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system that manage agricultural analysis in dynamic environments includes detecting a location of one or more agricultural objects of interest in image data of an environment captured by a sensor device during active navigation of the environment. An orientation and position of the sensor device with respect to the image data is determined. Each of the one or more agricultural objects of interest is analyzed based on the image data, the detected location of the one or more agricultural objects of interest, and the determined orientation and position of the sensor device to determine one or more characteristics about the one or more agricultural objects of interest. At least one action is initiated based on the determined one or more characteristics about the one or more agricultural objects of interest.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2023Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Earthsense, Inc.Inventors: Girish Chowdhary, Chinmay Soman, Michael McGuire, Michael Hansen

Publication number: 20240273694Abstract: Various examples are directed to apparatus and methods for enhancing an X-ray medical image. In one example, a method for X-ray dental images enhancement is provided. The method includes receiving an input image and applying the noise reduction trough Recursive Locally-Adaptive Wiener Filtration (RLA-WF) based on the sliding window, which is calculated following a recursive two-dimensional scheme; contrast enhancement to the filtered image, including using recursive Sliding Window Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (SW-CLAHE) utilizing a Truncation Threshold Surface (TTS) for calculation of the truncation threshold for the local histogram in each sliding window. The method also includes applying sharpness enhancement to the input image, including using Fast Recursive Adaptive Unsharp Masking (FRA-UM) utilizing a sliding window with two or one-dimensional recursion, to obtain a sharpened image.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Roumen Kountchev, Michael McGuire, Peter Vladimirov
