  • Patent number: 12254276
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, a method, and a product for intent discovery. The system includes a processor in communication with a memory storing instructions. When the processor executes the instructions, the instructions are configured to cause the processor to: obtain documents comprising a set of utterances, extract the set of utterances from the documents, generate a set of utterance embeddings based on the set of utterances, clusterize the set of utterance embeddings to obtain a plurality of clusters, obtain a cluster label for each cluster, encode each document based on a number of times each utterance cluster identifier (ID) appears to obtain an encoded document, perform latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) on the encoded documents to obtain K topics, and each topic corresponding to a list of key clusters with cluster IDs, and for each topic, replace the cluster IDs with the cluster labels.

  • Patent number: 12243167
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) mapping system can be configured to generate a 3D map of a real-world environment using annotation of large image data sets, in which terrestrial imagery can be programmatically labeled with accurate labels using remotely sensed overhead image data. The 3D mapping system can implement photogrammetry to create a point cloud. Each pixel in the point cloud can be classified based on a consensus of each frame. The point cloud can be co-registered to a remotely sensed reference dataset to provide precise spatial coordinates for each pixel. Different patches of point clouds can be stitched together to provide a complete 3D map for a given area, such as a downtown area of a city.

  • Patent number: 12117533
    Abstract: Accuracy of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for GNSS devices is improved using a GNSS positioning system that leverages networked optimization for enhanced accuracy. GNSS measurements from multiple devices form the foundation for a massive pairwise optimization approach. This fuels a self-reinforcing cycle, wherein Real Time Kinematic (RTK) pairwise optimizations support Precise Point Positioning (PPP) analysis. Improved PPP calculations in turn refine RTK optimization, rapidly iterating towards convergence. The PPP-RTK feedback loop refines positions iteratively, culminating in more accurate user locations.

  • Patent number: 12061268
    Abstract: A system and method for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) accuracy improvement for GNSS devices using error corrections calculated from the location information of other GNSS devices. The system and method comprise use of an algorithm wherein GNSS signal data received by a network of GNSS devices is collected and sent to a GNSS location correction engine, which calculates an ensemble error correction for the network and transmits the error correction to the GNSS devices in the network. Implementations of the system and method may include selection of subsets of devices for inclusion in the calculations based on device location, time, hardware, and other factors.

  • Publication number: 20160220241
    Abstract: A suture collar configured for use with an introducer sheath. The suture collar includes an outer ring component defining an opening there-though and an inner ring component concentrically disposed within the opening of the outer ring component. The outer ring component is configured to be sutured to a target surface of a patient. The inner ring component defines an opening there-through that is configured to receive the introducer sheath. In a first configuration of the suture collar, a longitudinal axis of the inner ring component is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the outer ring component. The inner ring component is configured to move relative to the outer ring component such that in a second configuration of the suture collar the longitudinal axis of the inner ring component is angularly offset with the longitudinal axis of the outer ring component.

  • Patent number: 9147272
    Abstract: A computerized method for providing mapping, data management, and analysis. A user request for creation of a map with a desired Gaussian aggregation and desired color map parameters is received. Vector geographic data is loaded at the server. The vector geographic data comprises location data, and the location data comprises an attribute. The vector geographic data is rasterized to create image data composed of pixels. The image data is converted to a certain scale grayscale image data. A convolution operation is performed on the grayscale image data to provide an aggregation of the data using a kernel radius, wherein the kernel radius is adjusted in accordance with the desired zoom level. Convolution results are applied to a color ramp; the map for the location data is created based on the color ramp and the convolution results, and the map is provided to the user.
