SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TIME-SHARING INTERACTIONS USING A SHARED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PERSONALITY
Publication number: 20210004680Abstract: Systems and methods are described for time-sharing interactions using a shared artificial intelligence personality (AIP) incorporated within multiple human interaction entities (HIEs). An AIP is an understanding construct that may control a variety of communication experiences to support a sense of ongoing social connectedness. An AIP may be instantiated within two or more HIEs that interact with humans in a human, cartoon or pet-like manner. HIEs may include robots, robotic pets, toys, simple-to-use devices, and graphical user interfaces. The AIP may be periodically updated based on human interactions sensed by the HIEs as well as knowledge of historical and ongoing events. The systems may provide two or more users with intuitive machine companions that exhibit an expert knowledge base and a familiar, cumulative personality.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2020Publication date: January 7, 2021Inventors: Nelson George Publicover, Lewis James Marggraff, Mary Jo Marggraff -
Patent number: 10762414Abstract: Systems and methods are described for sharing an artificial intelligence personality (AIP) among multiple human interaction entities (HIEs). An AIP is an understanding construct that interacts with one or more humans in a human- or pet-like manner, implementing a variety of communication experiences to support a sense of ongoing social connectedness. HIEs may include robots, robotic pets, toys, and avatars. The system may be implemented using two or more HIEs and, optionally, one or more remote and/or distributed processors to compute AIPs and sequence telecommunications. AIPs are periodically updated primarily based on human interactions sensed by the two or more HIEs. HIEs may continue to operate without interruption in the presence of significant telecommunications delays. The systems may provide two or more users with intuitive machine companions that exhibit an integrated knowledge base and personality cumulatively acquired from all users.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2019Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: KINOO, INC.Inventors: Lewis James Marggraff, Nelson George Publicover, Mary Jo Marggraff

Patent number: 10620700Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for discerning the intent of a device wearer primarily based on movements of the eyes. The system can be included within unobtrusive headwear that performs eye tracking and controls screen display. The system can also utilize remote eye tracking camera(s), remote displays and/or other ancillary inputs. Screen layout is optimized to facilitate the formation and reliable detection of rapid eye signals. The detection of eye signals is based on tracking physiological movements of the eye that are under voluntary control by the device wearer. The detection of eye signals results in actions that are compatible with wearable computing and a wide range of display devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2015Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Nelson George Publicover, Lewis James Marggraff, Eliot Francis Drake, Spencer James Connaughton

Patent number: 8031926Abstract: Locations of the origins of “discrete events,” e.g., photons or other units of radiant energy are acquired from a specimen with reference to a scan frame or other region of interest of the specimen. The location of origin of a discrete event can be determined from the corresponding location datum as derived from a scan-drive signal, a positional feed-back signal, or by a point in time during a unit of sampling time (“image-acquisition period”) at which the event is detected. A probability-density function (PDF) is associated with the detected locations. Summing or other processing of the PDFs is performed to produce imagable data. From the data, images can be produced that require fewer discrete events to converge to an ideal density distribution associated with an image feature than required by pixel-based binning methods. Stored data can be mapped into pixels or voxels of a display or otherwise processed, including post hoc processing.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, on behalf of the University of Nevada, RenoInventors: John L.

Patent number: 7796314Abstract: Dual axis, beam-steering devices are disclosed. An exemplary device includes a support platform having a top surface. A reflective surface is coupled to the top surface of the support platform. First and second galvanometers are coupled via respective linkages to the support platform such that the first galvanometer rotates the support platform about a first rotational axis, and the second galvanometer rotates the support platform about a second rotational axis that is orthogonal to the first rotational axis. The support platform can be simultaneously rotated with respect to both the first rotational axis and the second rotational axis to steer a beam of electromagnetic energy (e.g. light beam) reflected by the reflective surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2005Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher EducationInventors: John L.

Patent number: 7514938Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring the dielectric relaxation properties of a sample are disclosed. Methods are disclosed for amplifying or controlling the dielectric relaxation properties of a sample by adding particles, such as functionally coated particles. In certain methods, the particles amplify or control the dielectric relaxation properties of the sample by interacting with counter ions in the sample. In some embodiments, the methods use a dielectric relaxation spectroscopy apparatus with remote electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2005Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Board of Regents of the University and College System of Nevada, on Behalf of the University of Nevada, RenoInventors: Nelson George Publicover, Craig A.

Publication number: 20070172180Abstract: In certain aspects, the present disclosure provides image guides having a plurality of spaced-apart optical fibers. The fibers are spaced apart sufficiently to allow parallel pixel acquisition from at least a portion of the plurality of fibers. In some examples, the fibers are encased in a rigid matrix. The image guides are, in some examples, enclosed in a rigid material. In specific examples, the rigid material is flexible, allowing the image guide to bend or flex. Further provided are methods for fabricating such image guides. According to a particular method, fibers in an image guide are individually mobilized. A portion of the image guide is heated until the mobilized fibers obtain a plastic state. The image guide is then drawn, cooled, and axially cut. The fiber ends may be ground or polished to obtain fibers of a particular diameter or desired surface characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2007Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventors: Russell B.
