  • Publication number: 20250148214
    Abstract: A neuro-symbolic retrieval augmented generation hybrid method includes detecting an incomplete entigen group within a knowledge database. The incomplete entigen group includes entigens and one or more entigen relationships between at least some of the entigens. The incomplete entigen group represents knowledge of a topic. The method further includes obtaining additive content for the topic based on the incomplete entigen group and generating an additive entigen group based on the additive content. The method further includes updating the incomplete entigen group utilizing the additive entigen group to produce an updated entigen group. The method further includes indicating that the updated entigen group has an un-curated status when the additive entigen group conflicts with the incomplete entigen group.

  • Publication number: 20250094415
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining that a set of words are included in a word set. The method further includes determining a set of identigens for each word of the word set to produce sets of identigens, where a set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a word of the word set. The method further includes interpreting, using identigen pairing rules, the sets of identigens to produce an entigen set. The method further includes assigning a single new entigen to represent the entigen set, where the single new entigen represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the word set.

  • Publication number: 20250077900
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining to extend knowledge within a knowledge database for an object represented by linked entigens of an entigen group based on a deficiency of the entigen group. The method further includes determining a set of identigens for each word of a phrase associated with the object to produce sets of identigens. The method further includes interpreting the sets of identigens to determine a most likely meaning interpretation of the phrase and produce a new entigen group. The method further includes updating the entigen group utilizing the new entigen group to produce a curated entigen group such that a deficiency of the entigen group is resolved providing more accurate and more complete knowledge of the object.

  • Publication number: 20250077560
    Abstract: A method includes selecting an entigen group from a knowledge database. The entigen group is a most likely meaning of a phrase of a string of words. An entigen of the entigen group corresponds to a selected identigen from a set of identigens regarding a word of the string of words. The set of identigens represent different meanings of the word. The method further includes identifying other entigen groups of alternate phrases having a similar most likely meaning from the knowledge database. The alternate phrases are different permutations of the string of words. The method further includes determining a dominant sentiment the other entigen groups and generating an updated clarifying entigen group based on the sentiment.

  • Publication number: 20240411124
    Abstract: A magnifying display device includes a magnifying reflective mirror module configured to a load frame bracket. The magnifying reflective mirror module is provided with a reflective sheet to receive and reflect a projected image and a magnifying sheet to receive and magnify a reflected image from the reflective sheet. The reflective sheet is a dual-curved convex mirror or the magnifying sheet is a dual-curved concave mirror to provide a vertical defocus, enabling the reflected image being displayed in a vertical virtual image distance farther than in a horizontal virtual image distance, so that the reflected image is projected on an eyeball forming a defocused image in a vertical line-of-sight image area and a focused image in a horizontal line-of-sight image area.

  • Patent number: 11994769
    Abstract: A backlit display device includes a plurality of light sources, a plurality of tapered cups laid out in an array, a diffuser, a display module displaying an image, and an image concave mirror being positioned along an optical path sequentially. Each tapered cup is tilted at a different angle and corresponded to one light source respectively to define an emitting angle of each light source. The light of the light sources passes through the diffuser forming a backlight. The display module and the backlight are positioned within and outside the focus of the image concave mirror respectively. The backlight illuminates the image forming an image light and the image light is reflected by the image concave mirror and then projected to a single eye box. Each light source illuminates a portion of the display module. A central normal of each tapered cup intersects the center of the single eye box.

  • Publication number: 20230418056
    Abstract: A multi-viewing angle floating projection device including multiple directional light sources, a display panel and an imaging concave mirror is disclosed. The multiple directional light sources emit multiple directional light beams for illuminating the display panel to form multiple directional image beams. The multiple directional image beams are reflected by a reflector to the concave mirror. Then, the multiple directional image beams are respectively reflected by the concave mirror to multiple viewing areas with different viewing angles to form multiple floating projected real images. The illuminated regions of the multiple directional light beams on the display panel are almost the same, or the illuminated regions of the multiple directional image beams on the imaging concave mirror are almost the same, providing a larger viewing angle difference between the multiple viewing areas.
