Patent number: 11990211Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking samples via sample tracking chains are presented. Sample tracking chains represent digital data structures instantiated according to intrinsic properties of a sample. Each link in the chain is a block of data representing an observed intrinsic state of the sample and is linked at least to a previous block representing a previous state. The sample tracking chain and blocks can be indexed for later retrieval by the intrinsic properties of the corresponding sample's state. The sample tracking chain can take the form of a blockchain possibly stored as part of a private or public distributed ledger. Disclosed sample tracking chains provide a full life cycle audit trail for sample processing.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Nicholas James Witchey, Patrick Soon-Shiong

Publication number: 20240152306Abstract: A server provides image data including detailed geometry and shading information for one of more objects in a scene from a last known camera orientation and placement (a “first camera view”) and a height map indicating a distance from the first camera view to each pixel of the image. The image data and the height map are collectively referred to as a “parallax pixel map”. A client device receives the parallax pixel map from the server and updates the parallax pixel map based on a current camera orientation and placement (a “first camera view”). The client device projects the updated parallax pixel map onto the image of the scene based on the current camera view to generate a current display frame. The client device then provides the current display frame for display.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2021Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Derek James Basehore, Nicholas Jordan Sanders
