Patent number: 11972775Abstract: The present system ensures that external noise sources do not taint sensor data recorded about a user's sleep parameters, to reduce false positives and false negatives, and provides a more accurate record of the user's sleep sounds, by cycling on and off noise sources. Additionally, the present system, in one embodiment, may be used to track changes in sound patterns from the user and from the environment. This may lead to early warning of health issues, as well as issues with the devices in the bedroom.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: DP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philippe Richard Kahn, Sonia Lee Kahn, Arthur Kinsolving, Mark Andrew Christensen, Venkat Easwar

Patent number: 11766213Abstract: A compliance and effectiveness tracking engine system including a sensor system to obtain sensed sleep data for a sleep session for a user, and a user interface implementing a user data acquisition system to obtain perceived sleep data from the user after the sleep session. The system further includes a server system implementing a predictive engine to predicted sleep data for the user, based on user background data and transactional data reflecting one or more medical interventions for the user. The server implementing a compliance and effectiveness tracking engine (CETE) to compare the sensed sleep data, the perceived sleep data, and the predicted sleep data, and to determine effectiveness of the one or more medical interventions for the user, and compliance with a protocol associated with the one or more medical interventions.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: DP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philippe Richard Kahn, Arthur Kinsolving, Mark Andrew Christensen, Sonia Lee Kahn

Patent number: 8212893Abstract: A digital imaging system is described that provides techniques for reducing the amount of processing power required by a given digital camera device and for reducing the bandwidth required for transmitting image information to a target platform. The system defers and/or distributes the processing between the digital imager (i.e., digital camera itself) and the target platform that the digital imager will ultimately be connected to. In this manner, the system is able to decrease the actual computation that occurs at the digital imager. Instead, the system only performs a partial computation at the digital imager device and completes the computation somewhere else, such as at a target computing device (e.g., desktop computer) where time and size are not an issue (relative to the imager). By deferring resource-intensive computations, the present invention substantially reduces the processor requirements and concomitant battery requirements for digital cameras.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Verisign, Inc.Inventors: Eric O. Bodnar, Shekhar Kirani, Venkat V. Easwar, Philippe R. Kahn, Sonia Lee Kahn

The system defers and/or distributes the processing between the digital imager (i.e., digital camera itself) and the target platform that the digital imager will ultimately be connected to. The system only performs a partial computation at the digital imager device and completes the computation somewhere else, such as at a target computing device (e.g., desktop computer) where time and size are not an issue (relative to the imager). This image processing technique employs an efficient color conversion process, using a GUV color space. After an RGB mosaic (image) is captured, the image may be “companded” or quantized by representing it with less bits (e.g., companding from 10 bits to 8 bits).Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2000Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: LightSurf Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Venkat V.
