  • Patent number: 11941916
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating and providing guided practices and coaching feedback (e.g., illustrated in 3D images, video, or audio) that allow golfers to follow along to improve their physical swing in a digital environment. The feedback may be provided with a 3D avatar using a biomechanical analysis of observed actions with a focus on representing actions through computer-generated 3D avatars. Physical quantities of biomechanical actions can be measured from the observations, and the system can analyze these values, compare them to target or optimal values, and use the observations and known biomechanical capabilities to generate the guided practices and coaching feedback.

  • Patent number: 11917084
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for validating media integrity using asymmetric key cryptography utilizing a public/private cryptographic key pair. The private key is kept secret and is known to an originator and/or publisher of a media file. The public key is added to the media file and is used to validate integrity of the media file, that is, that content of the media file (e.g., portion(s), frame(s)) has not been altered since publication of the media file. By validating integrity of the media file, strong proof that the media file came from an owner of the keypair (e.g., had possession of the private key) can be obtained, for example, resolving issues of trust and/or authenticity common in altered content. In some embodiments, information regarding an origin of the content can further be determined.

  • Publication number: 20240053889
    Abstract: In some examples, a system computes a measure of data overwrites to a data segment stored in a storage structure, where the measure of data overwrites indicates a quantity of overwrites of data in the data segment. The system compares the measure of data overwrites to a criterion. In response to determining that the measure of data overwrites has a first relationship with respect to the criterion, the system disables data reduction for the data segment.

  • Publication number: 20230404622
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a probe for use in minimally invasive surgery. The probe includes a shaft and a tip extending from the shaft. The tip includes a bulbous shape with a smooth and rounded outer surface. In some embodiments, the shaft is separated from the tip by a neck such that both the shaft and the tip expand outward from a concave surface of the neck. In some embodiments, one or both of a neuromonitoring element and an ultrasound sensor are disposed on the tip. In some embodiments, a probe may include a surface feature that resists expulsion of the probe from a human body when the probe is disposed in the human body. In further embodiments, a probe may include insulated material over a first surface region and conductive material over a second surface region.

  • Patent number: 11835704
    Abstract: An optical Boresight alignment device that leverages creation of an opto-mechanical reference to the rifle barrel so that the riflescope can be used to directly measure the axis of the rifle barrel and thereby offer the necessary feedback to precisely boresight the riflescope. An illumination multiplexer module (IMM) allows the riflescope to function as an illuminated precision autocollimator with which to optically measure the barrel angle. The present invention leverages the two most accurate rifle components: the barrel and the riflescope themselves to directly measure the axes of each device, the optical (riflescope) and the mechanical (barrel). This is an improvement over existing methods by successfully using the external surface of the rifle barrel as a kinematic mechanical reference.

  • Publication number: 20230204463
    Abstract: Disclosed are approaches for analyzing vibration data to determine and mitigate an occurrence of an anomaly with respect to an industrial machine. In one embodiment, time-series vibration data is received from a sensor measuring vibration of a machine. First outliers are detected in a short-term window of the time-series vibration data. Second outliers are detected in a long-term window of the time-series vibration data. The sensor is determined to be associated with an anomaly based at least in part on a quantity of the first outliers and a quantity of the second outliers.

  • Patent number: 11566974
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for analyzing vibration data to determine and mitigate an occurrence of an anomaly at an industrial asset. A device may obtain and preprocess vibration data, which may include grouping the vibration data according to respective time intervals, and the device may filter the grouped data to obtain the most recent measurement readings. The device may use an anomaly detection algorithm to detect outliers in the datasets for each group of vibration data and compare an amplitude of the outliers to a threshold for the respective group. The device may determine that the vibration data includes an anomaly based on quantities of outliers in first and second subsets of the vibration data that are within a detection window. The device may generate a report including an indication of the anomaly and transmit the report to an operator or engineer for the facility.
