Publication number: 20260156395Abstract: Disclosed is a hearing. The hearing device comprises an ear cup. The hearing device further comprises a headband being configured to rest on the user's head and a hinge arm. The hinge arm comprises a hinge center arranged at the earcup defining a rotating axis of the ear cup with respect to the headband, whereby the hinge arm can rotate through an angular interval from a rest position to a variable use position. The hearing device further comprises a force element configured to bias the hinge arm towards the rest position. The hinge center is arranged offset from a center of the ear cup. The rotating axis is configured to pass through the center of the ear cup.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: June 4, 2026Inventors: Chokko CHEN, Samuel GAO, Frank LIN, Arthur YOU, Jack ZHAO, Peter ZHONG, Jon Grane MADSEN, Rasmus PEDERSEN

Patent number: 12299050Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe a computer-implemented method of analyzing an electronic version of a document. The computer-implemented method can include an architecture of machine learning sub-models that performs the global task of translating unstructured and semi-structured inputs into numerical representations that can be recognized and manipulated by a content-analysis (CA) sub-model without relying on brute force analysis. Embodiments of the invention achieve these results by separating the global task into auxiliary tasks and assigning each sub-model to at least one of the auxiliary tasks. The auxiliary tasks can include parsing the unstructured or semi-structured inputs into format types (e.g., lists, tables, figures, text, etc. of a PDF document), extracting features of the parsed document, and performing a computer-based CA on the extracted features.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Zhong, Antonio Jose Jimeno Yepes, Elaheh ShafieiBavani

Patent number: 11734445Abstract: In an approach for providing a document access control based on document component layouts, a processor detects a layout of a document, the layout including one or more components of the document. A processor defines an access policy to access the one or more components based on the layout. A processor authorizes a request to access the one or more components based on the access policy and the layout. A processor retrieves the one or more components based on the access policy and the authorized request.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Zhong, Antonio Jose Jimeno Yepes, Lenin Mehedy

Patent number: 11599711Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method for automatic delineation and extraction of tabular data in portable document format (PDF). The method includes one or more processors extracting metadata corresponding to tabular data in a text-based portable document format (PDF), wherein the metadata is associated with characters and border lines of the tabular data. The method further includes generating a graph structure corresponding to the tabular data in the text-based PDF based at least in part on the metadata. The method further includes generating a vector representation of the graph structure. The method further includes constructing a tree structure corresponding to the tabular data based at least in part on the vector representation.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Zhong, Antonio Jose Jimeno Yepes

Patent number: 11380116Abstract: A computer-implemented method for using a machine learning model to automatically extract tabular data from an image includes receiving a set of images of tabular data and a set of markup data corresponding respectively to the images of tabular data. The method further includes training a first neural network to delineate the tabular data into cells using the markup data, and training a second neural network to determine content of the cells in the tabular data using the markup data. The method further includes, upon receiving an input image containing a first tabular data without any markup data, generating an electronic output corresponding to the first tabular data by determining the structure of the first tabular data using the first neural network and extracting content of the first tabular data using the second neural network.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Peter Zhong, Antonio Jose Jimeno Yepes, Elaheh Shafieibavani

Patent number: 11244203Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for automatically generating structured training data based on an unstructured document are provided. Aspects include receiving an unstructured document and a corresponding structured document that includes labeled portions. Aspects also include generating a parsed document that has one or more extracted objects by applying a parsing tool to the unstructured document. Aspects also include identifying one or more matching extracted objects by applying a matching algorithm to the structured document and the parsed document. Each matching extracted object is an extracted object of the parsed document that corresponds to a labeled portion of the structured document. Aspects also include annotating a region of the unstructured document that corresponds to the bounding box of the respective matching extracted object with a respective label of the corresponding labeled portion of the unstructured document.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Peter Zhong, Antonio Jose Jimeno Yepes, Jianbin Tang
