Publication number: 20240072705Abstract: A method and a system for ripple count detection of a DC motor are provided. The method and the system determine a missed ripple count for transitional phases of operation, including the start-up and/or braking phases, based on a determined ripple period or frequency in the steady-state phase of operation. By applying this determined ripple period or frequency to a transitional time interval, the number of missed ripples for each transitional phase of operation can be reliably determined in digital logic, without the aid of external positional sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Josh Baugh, Gary Neill, Ninh Quyen, Jason Soltis

Publication number: 20230355128Abstract: Diffusion-weighted data are acquired with an MRI system. From the diffusion-weighted data, a comprehensive diffusion tensor distribution (CDTD) is generated. The provides a proportional weighting, at the voxel level, of different diffusion tensors that could describe the water diffusion occurring in the voxel. The CDTD provides insight into tissue microstructure without making assumptions about the structure of a diffusion tensor used to characterize diffusion occurring in tissues of interest. Water pool images, corresponding to different subsets of diffusion tensors in the CDTD, may be generated to assess different components of water diffusion in tissue. Classification images can also be generated from the CDTD to depict different clusters of voxels having similar distributions of diffusion tensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Yi-Qiao Song, Kien-Ninh Ina Ly, Susie Y.

Publication number: 20230245495Abstract: The semi-automatic data sample collection process for the face recognition system provides the facial data collection stages, made simple, easy to use in practice. The process includes the following main steps: reference image selection - frontal image of the sampled person’s face, adjusting the viewing angle to increase data diversity, automatic storage of image data and related information during sampling into the database. Thanks to automatic clustering, evaluation and storage, data collection time and effort are lowered, while confirming high accuracy. The adoption of centralized data storage in the future allows more convenience for users. Owing to its speed and convenience, the process can be applied in data collection for practical systems such as surveillance, face attendance with a very large number of people.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: VIETTEL GROUPInventors: THI HUONG NINH, VAN CHIEN THAI, TIEN HAI TRAN

Patent number: 11694114Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for real-time deployment of machine learning networks. One of the operations is performed by the system receiving video data from a video image capturing device. The received video data is converted into multiple video frames. These video frames are encoded into a particular color space format. The system renders a first display output depicting imagery from the multiple encoded video frames. The system performs an inference on the video frames using a machine learning network in order to determine the occurrence of one or more objects in the video frames. The system renders a second display output depicting graphical information corresponding to the determined one or more objects from the multiple encoded video frames. The system then generates a composite display output including the imagery of the first display output overlaid with the graphical information of the second display output.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Satisfai Health Inc.Inventors: Andrew Ninh, Tyler Dao, Mohammad Fidaali

Publication number: 20230190257Abstract: A suture anchor for use in a knotless, suture-first technique for securing soft tissue to bone comprises a proximal anchor body and a distal tip having an eyelet configured to receive an end of a repair suture. Internal locking elements on the distal tip and the proximal anchor body are provided for locking the tip and anchor body together when the suture anchor is implanted in a bone. A suture assembly for use in an alternate knotless technique comprises a suture anchor, a repair suture, and a shuttle suture. Both the repair suture and the shuttle suture rea looped at one end and straight at the other end. In the alternate technique, the loop and tail of the repair suture are manipulated to form a luggage tag configuration extending around the tissue, and the shuttle suture is used to tightly secure the luggage tag configuration and tissue against the bone.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventor: Christopher Ninh
