  • Publication number: 20240114190
    Abstract: Systems and methods for video processing generates 3D streaming data via an API may be provided. A 3D streaming session may be delivered at a client device with low latency and high throughput capacity. Upon verification of the client device, a server may be selected to support an encapsulated 3D streaming engine to initiate the session. A library file may be injected into an executable file of the encapsulated 3D streaming engine to generate a digital representation of an interactive 3D environment. The interactive 3D environment may be rendered, encoded, and streamed to the client device via a GPU. The 3D streaming session may be adjusted via the client device, and sustained until terminated at the client device. A number of virtual compute instances of encapsulated 3D streaming engines provided by the server may be dynamically adjusted based on metrics and machine learning predictions of connected client devices.

  • Patent number: 11599775
    Abstract: Graphical elements in a user interface (UI) may be detected in robotic process automation (RPA) using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Such processes may be particularly well-suited for detecting graphical elements that are too small to be detected using conventional techniques. The accuracy of detecting graphical elements (e.g., control objects) may be enhanced by providing neural network-based processing that is robust to changes in various UI factors, such as different resolutions, different operating system (OS) scaling factors, different dots-per-inch (DPI) settings, and changes due to UI customization of applications and websites, for example.

  • Patent number: 11328524
    Abstract: Described systems and methods allow the automatic extraction of structured information from images of structured text documents such as invoices and receipts. Some embodiments employ optical character recognition (OCR) technology to extract individual text tokens (e.g., words) and token bounding boxes from a document image. A feature vector of each text token comprises a first part determined according to a character content of the text token, and a second part determined according to an image content of the token's bounding box. A neural network classifier produces a label indicative of a type of information (e.g. “billing address”, “due date”, etc.) carried by each text token. In some embodiments, documents are linearized by ordering text tokens in a sequence according to a reading order of a natural language (e.g., English, Arabic) in which the respective document is formulated. Token feature vectors are fed to the classifier in the order indicated by the token sequence.

  • Patent number: 8560358
    Abstract: Generation of an engineering change case is initiated by associating an identified problem for a product with an engineering change case template. The engineering change case can include a plurality of structured folders that can be populated with content characterizing the identified problem as well as proposed solutions to the identified problem with each folder being assignable to one or more users and having associated deliverables for such users. The various users populate the folders with content associated with the deliverables with at least a portion of the deliverables being delegable and requiring completion in a sequential order. Thereafter, generation of the engineering case can be finalized when an indication is received that all deliverables requiring approval have been completed. Otherwise, the engineering change case can be canceled. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 8403397
    Abstract: An adjustable tailgate support contains a fixed inner tube, which is connected to a lower housing part and on which is arranged a spiral spring. The spiral spring on the one hand is supported at the lower end on a setting element held on the inner tube and, on the other hand, is held fixed at a remote, upper, free end in the upper housing part. An increase or reduction in the spring force of the spiral spring can be set by turning the setting element, which has a supporting ring, on an external thread of the fixed inner tube.
