Publication number: 20240122484Abstract: Exemplified methods and systems facilitate presentation of data derived from measurements of the heart in a non-invasive procedure (e.g., via phase space tomography analysis). In particular, the exemplified methods and systems facilitate presentation of such measurements in a graphical user interface, or “GUI” (e.g., associated with a healthcare provider web portal to be used by physicians, researchers, or patients, and etc.) and/or in a report for diagnosis of heart pathologies and disease. The presentation facilitates a unified and intuitive visualization that includes three-dimensional visualizations and two-dimensional visualizations that are concurrently presented within a single interactive interface and/or report.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Ian Shadforth, Meng Lei, Timothy Burton, Don Crawford, Sunny Gupta, Paul Douglas Souza, Cody James Wackerman, Andrew Hugh Dubberly

Patent number: 11908060Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer implemented system for animating a virtual object or digital entity. It has particular relevance to animation using biologically based models, or behavioural models particularly neurobehavioural models. There is provided a plurality of modules having a computational element and a graphical element. The modules are arranged in a required structure and have at least one variable and being associated with at least one connector. The connectors link variables between modules across the structure, and the modules together provide a neurobehavioural model. There is also provided a method of controlling a digital entity in response to an external stimulus.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Soul Machines LimitedInventors: David Peter Bullivant, Paul Burton Robertson, Mark Andrew Sagar

Publication number: 20230359184Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a system and method capable of generating an operations management interface enabling monitoring of distributed components of a process control application. The operations management interface can include a customizable display enabling operators to prepare decisions based on a context-based three-dimensional representation of the distributed components. The operations management interface display includes controls for manipulating graphically displayed representations of data rendered by the distributed components, and an interface for exchanging requests and data through data links to one or more distributed data-linked components. Some selectable displayed information in the operations management interface window can include locations, interconnection layout and hierarchy, and specifications, and datasheets of distributed components.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Douglas Kane, Mats Westenius, John Joseph Krajewski, Julien de Beer, Colm McCarthy, Steven Michael Weinrich, Derrick Jones, Simon Foley, Paul Burton
