Publication number: 20240126832Abstract: A method comprises receiving a kernel used to convolve with an input tensor. For a first dimension of the kernel, a square block of values for each single dimensional vector of the kernel that includes all rotations of that single dimensional vector is generated. For each additional dimension of the kernel, group blocks of an immediately preceding dimension into sets of blocks, each set of blocks including blocks of the immediately preceding dimension that are aligned along a vector that is parallel to the axis of the dimension; and generate, for the additional dimension, one or more blocks of values, each block including all rotations of blocks within each of the sets of blocks of the immediately preceding dimension. The block of values corresponding to the last dimension in the additional dimensions of the kernel is output as the expanded kernel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Alexander Ross, Thomas Hawkins, Gregory Michael Thorson, Matt Boyd

Patent number: 11921729Abstract: A technique for generating and presenting context-aware recommendations to assist a patient in managing a chronic health condition. A health management platform provides various services that are accessible to a patient via a graphical user interface (GUI). Input data are received from various services and processed to generate contextual data associated with the patient such as a health state of the patient. Using the contextual data, a recommendation to access a particular service is generated and presented to the patient via the GUI. For example, in response to determining a health state of a patient, a recommendation to access a service to improve the health state of the patient can be automatically presented via the GUI to encourage the patient to access the service.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Peilun Shan, Aurora Adkins, Thomas Rudick, Lucy Boyd Schachter, Bella Powers, Nikhil Roy

Patent number: 11769324Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sensors distributed about a space. Each sensor generates sensor data associated with properties of one or more people in the space. A gateway device receives the sensor data from each of the plurality of sensors and provides the sensor data to an automated response subsystem over a network. The automated response subsystem receives the sensor data. A first feature value is determined based on the received sensor data. An event score is determined based on the first feature value. The event score is compared to predefined response criteria. Based on the comparison of the event score to the predefined response criteria, an actionable event is detected, and an automated response to initiate for the detected actionable event is identified. One or both of an alert and instructions are provided in order to initiate the automated response.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Daniel Mercado, Andrew Thomas Boyd, Sanjay Arjun Lohar, Michael James Sbandi
