  • Publication number: 20210173474
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to prediction of eye movements of a user of a head-mountable display device. Predictive foveated display systems and methods, using the predicted eye movements are also disclosed. Predictive variable focus display systems and methods using the predicted eye movements are also disclosed. Predicting eye movements may include predicting a future gaze location and/or predicting a future vergence plane for the user's eyes, based on the current motion of one or both of the user's eyes. The predicted gaze location may be used to pre-render a foveated display image frame with a high-resolution region at the predicted gaze location. The predicted vergence plane may be used to modify an image plane of a display assembly to mitigate or avoid a vergence/accommodation conflict for the user.

  • Publication number: 20210150358
    Abstract: A method for evaluating an external machine learning program while limiting access to internal training data includes providing labeled training data from a first source, receiving, by the first source, a machine learning program from a second source different from the first source, blocking, by the first source, access by the second source to the labeled training data, and training, by the first source, the machine learning program according to a supervised machine learning process using the labeled training data. The method further includes generating a first set of metrics from the supervised machine learning process that provide feedback about training of the neural network model, analyzing the first set of metrics to identify subset data therein, and, in order to permit evaluation of the neural network model, transmitting, to the second source, those metrics from the first set of metrics that do not include the subset data.

  • Publication number: 20210138180
    Abstract: A device (102) provides respiratory treatment for SDB (including mild OSA) and other respiratory conditions. A flow generator warms and humidifies gas at controlled flow levels. For example, the device (102) delivers breathable gas to the upper airway at flow rates of about 10-35 Liters/minute. Levels of flow rate, temperature and/or humidification of the device any be automatically adjusted in response to the detection of SDB events. The device may aim automatically deliver adjustments of any of the levels in accordance with detected phases of respiratory cycles. In some embodiments, the device automatically delivers distinct levels to either of the nares based on independent control of flow to each nare. A warm-up procedure controls temperature and humidity at a desired target during a ramp-up of flow to the set therapy level. A cool-down procedure controls temperature above the dewpoint to avoid condensation internal to the device and patient interface.

  • Patent number: 10977243
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to methods and systems for the timely processing of records exchanged between service provider systems and responsible entity systems by a records management and processing system. More specifically, the records management and processing system can maintain a set of rules defining conditions for processing records and associated actions to affect that processing upon satisfaction of or failure to satisfy the conditions of that rule. Updates to some or all of these records can be received from a data update service. The records management and processing system can apply the rules to the records and assign tags to the records based on the received update information and the conditions defined in the applied rules. The records management and processing system can then process the updated records according to workflows for processing the updated records based on the assigned tags and applied rules.

  • Patent number: 10962523
    Abstract: Arrangements are disclosed for measuring small electrical currents with high sensitivity, for example in the context of sensing molecular entities, for example via interactions between the molecular entities and a membrane protein inserted in an amphiphilic membrane. In one arrangement there is provided a current sensing circuit (52) configured to integrate the current output by a sensor element (56) during each of a plurality of sensing frames (62). In each sensing frame (62) first and second analogue samples of the integral are taken during first and second time windows (71,72). A readout circuit (54) processes the first and second analogue samples to output a digital output signal representing the current output by the sensor element (56). The processing comprises analogue to digital conversion processing and output processing. The output processing is performed exclusively during periods outside of the first and second time windows.
