  • Publication number: 20250225363
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of Digital and Virtual Reality, addressing the deficiency in current technology for creating authentic digital replicas that faithfully capture user behaviors, emotions, metaphysical essence, and physical attributes of objects and environments. Existing technologies fall short in providing a comprehensive solution. This invention fills the void by offering a platform to generate precise digital replicas derived from data collected through wearable and external sensors. Users can then license or rent these replicas for diverse applications, such as connecting with deceased loved ones or evaluating products and experiences. Moreover, the invention facilitates the fusion of user essence with the physical characteristics of places and objects, enabling the creation of anthropomorphized and anomalous entities.

  • Publication number: 20250224081
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate to solutions for leak detection in hydrocarbon storage environments. In some examples, a leak identification system confirms sensor outputs in a hydrocarbon storage environment. The leak identification system comprises processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains sensor data that characterizes hydrocarbon inputs and hydrocarbon outputs in the hydrocarbon storage environment. The processing circuitry processes the sensor data using a thermodynamic model to determine when a discrepancy exists between the hydrocarbon inputs and the hydrocarbon outputs. The processing circuitry generates feature vectors that represent video data that depicts the hydrocarbon storage environment. The processing circuitry provides the feature vectors as input to a machine learning engine trained to detect hydrocarbon leaks in the hydrocarbon storage environment.
