  • Publication number: 20260080427
    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method for temporal data analysis and forecasting utilizes topological hierarchical decompositions to process historical and future time windows. The method receives temporal data and generates multiple sets of historical time subsets with varying lengths, where information in shorter subsets is duplicated in longer ones. Future time windows are also generated in a similar manner. Future time windows are chronologically after a given initial time. The method creates past and future topological hierarchical decompositions and directed graph adjacency arrays. Customer attention matrices are generated for past and future windows, and matrix multiplications are performed to create self-attention arrays. These arrays are then multiplied together. The method culminates in providing a dashboard for forecasting demand after an initial time point, enabling comprehensive temporal data analysis and prediction.

  • Publication number: 20260073414
    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method for temporal data analysis and forecasting utilizes topological hierarchical decompositions to process historical and future time windows. The method receives sales data and purchase data for at least one item and generates multiple sets of historical time subsets with varying lengths, where information in shorter subsets is duplicated in longer ones. Future time windows are also generated in a similar manner. Future time windows are chronologically after a given initial time. The method creates past and future topological hierarchical decompositions and directed graph adjacency arrays. Customer attention matrices are generated for past and future windows, and matrix multiplications are performed to create self-attention arrays. These arrays are then multiplied together.

  • Patent number: 12514446
    Abstract: Introduced here are retinal cameras having one or more optical components whose position can be modified so that the left and right eyes can be imaged during a single imaging operation. Collectively, the optical component(s) may be referred to as an “optical assembly.” An optical assembly can include the objective lens, lens tube, and other optical components such as mirror(s), light source(s), capturing medium(s), etc. An optical assembly of a retinal camera may be movable between a first position and a second position along an arcuate path. By moving the optical assembly between the first and second positions along the arcuate path, the retinal camera can align the lens tube with the left and right eyes of an individual while clearing her nose. Thus, the retinal camera may generate images of the left and right eyes during an imaging procedure without requiring that the individual move her head.

  • Publication number: 20250331718
    Abstract: Introduced here are retinal cameras having optical stops whose size and/or position can be modified to increase the size of the space in which an eye can move while being imaged. In some embodiments, an optical stop is mechanically moved to recover retinal image quality as the subject shifts their eye. In some embodiments, an optical stop is digitally created using a pixelated liquid crystal display (LCD) layer having multiple pixels that are individually controllably. In some embodiments, multiple non-pixelated LCD layers are connected to one another to form a variable transmission stack, and each LCD layer within the variable transmission stack may be offset from the other LCD layers. In such embodiments, the optical stop can be moved by changing which LCD layer is active at a given point in time.

  • Publication number: 20230351148
    Abstract: An example method comprises projecting analysis data to a first embedding based on at least one metric, determining a first lowest cover resolution that identifies non-overlapping secondary coverings based on sets within one of the covers, identifying a branch point based on the non-overlapping secondary coverings, generating subsets from the branch point, for each subset from the branch point, determining a second lowest cover resolution that identifies non-overlapping secondary coverings to identify a new branch point and new subsets from that branch point of the first connected-component network, for each leaf of the connected-component network, identify embeddings of a feature space and generate a local object embedding space using the transposition of segmented features with related objects, adding coordinates of objects within each leaf of the local object embedding to a data array, projecting array data to a second embedding, determining a third lowest cover resolution of the second embedding that iden

  • Patent number: 11759106
    Abstract: In some embodiments, readily understandable information displays are provided to help an operator guide an eye of a subject into an eyebox of a retinal imaging system. In some embodiments, a three-dimensional position of the eye with respect to the retinal imaging system is determined, and an interface that includes a three-dimensional representation of the position of the eye with respect to the eyebox is generated. In some embodiments, the gaze direction may also be determined and presented in the interface, so that the operator can also prompt the subject to correct issues with incorrect gaze direction.
