  • Patent number: 12182902
    Abstract: A graphics pipeline cache reconstruction operation is implemented to reconstruct one or more graphics pipeline caches for a current client gaming session based on one or more pipeline structures. The pipeline structures each represent a graphical object rendered during a respective previous client gaming session and are used to reconstruct one or more graphics pipeline caches that include graphics pipeline cache objects related to the graphical objects of the pipeline structures. These graphics pipeline cache objects are used to initialize one or more graphics pipelines used to render the graphical objects in a gaming application for a current client gaming session.

  • Publication number: 20230384294
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and kits for the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in human subjects. The disclosure also relates to computer-implemented methods for diagnosing and treating ASD. Current diagnostic protocols are mainly limited to behavioural examination as laboratory findings have been consistently abnormal in ASD. No currently reported biomarker holds promise as early developmental screen or an early diagnostic or prognostic tool for pediatric settings at young ages from birth through early childhood when these clinical tools are most needed. With the present disclosure, metabolomic profiles, protein profiles and combinations thereof for ASD are identified in the subject having ASD.

  • Publication number: 20230315904
    Abstract: Increased regulation reflects individuals' growing concerns about sharing their health data. But, if left unaddressed, these regulations act as a barrier to healthcare researchers and providers accessing the real-world health data they need for AI-powered health advances. Accordingly, the inventors have established a decentralized ledger based self-sovereign data management platform for individuals. Via the platform an individual is provided a personalized health wallet to supporting self-sovereign data management giving them control and custody of their own health data. The platform provides for data credentialing to ensure quality and support of verifiable claims, e.g., about an individuals' consent to share and/or a third party research project having ethics approval, zero-knowledge proofs to protect individual privacy and promote secure data sharing, and support for privacy-preserving audit, accountability and compliance relating individuals' consent and data sharing.

  • Patent number: 11442163
    Abstract: A real-time aircraft bird congestion indicator system for measuring congestion in an airspace between aircraft and birds uses one or more radars to continuously survey an airspace around an airport or aerodrome and continuously generate aircraft tracks and bird tracks in the airspace. A congestion processor connected to the radar(s) receives the aircraft and bird tracks and processes them to periodically generate a congestion indicator that measures the congestion in the airspace. A display processor connected to the congestion processor receives the congestion indicator which is updated periodically by the congestion processor and displays the congestion indicator to a user, generates an alert if the congestion indicator falls outside set operating limits, and/or sends the congestion indicator or alert to another system.

  • Patent number: 10820296
    Abstract: The technology relates to generating a wireless network access point model for determining locations within an area. In one example, a plurality of scan vectors, each scan vector representing a set of signal strengths for a set of wireless network access point identifiers and being associated with a location within the area at which a mobile device moving through the area measured the set of signal strengths are received. A set of clusters is generated by iterating through a split phase until the number of clusters in the set of clusters equals a maximum number of clusters or there are no bad scan vectors identified. A bad scan vector may include a vector having a vector difference from a center of a cluster to which that vector is assigned is less than a minimum similarity value. The set of cluster is then used to generate the model of the area.
