Patent number: 11966570Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that automatically classify, segment, and parse content data using artificial intelligence and natural language processing technology, and generate graphical user interfaces that allow end users to dynamically filter content data for display. The systems processes volumes of content data to identify interrogative data, content sources that generated the interrogative data, and subject identifiers relating to the content data. The system generates graphical user interfaces that allow end users to effectively filter the data by choosing between layouts that display one or more of the various categories of data, including the interrogative data, content source identifiers, and/or subject identifiers.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Truist BankInventors: Kenneth William Cluff, Harold Thomas Wood, III, Peter Councill, James Xu

Publication number: 20240115867Abstract: The high-voltage and/or high-frequency pulse dielectric breakdown strength (DBS) of an implantable medical device is increased by strategically positioning insulation materials on or adjacent to the external surfaces of a filter capacitor. Dielectric breakdown strength is further increased by adding polymeric or ceramic nanoscale metal oxide insulative powders to the insulation materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Robert A.

Publication number: 20240115868Abstract: A self-centering washer is positioned between the feedthrough and filter capacitor of a filtered feedthrough. The washer has openings through which first and second terminal pins extend. A first opening has an inner arcuate portion contacting the first terminal pin and an outer perimeter portion exposing the braze sealing the terminal pin to the insulator. A second opening has an inner arcuate portion contacting the second terminal pin and an outer perimeter portion exposing the braze sealing the terminal pin to the insulator. In an imaginary configuration with the first and second washer openings superimposed one on top of the other, the cumulative arcuate distance of the inner arcuate portions about one of the terminal pins, subtracting overlap, results in a gap between the superimposed washer openings that is less than a diameter of the first and second terminal pins so that the washer is prevented from lateral movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Jason Woods, Robert A. Stevenson, Christine A. Frysz, Thomas Marzano, Keith W. Seitz

Publication number: 20240078755Abstract: Computing an image depicting a face having an expression with wrinkles is described. A 3D polygon mesh model of a face has a non-neutral expression. A tension map is computed from the 3D polygon mesh model. A neutral texture, a compressed wrinkle texture and an expanded wrinkle texture are computed or obtained from a library. The neutral texture comprises a map of the first face with a neutral expression. The compressed wrinkle texture is a map of the first face formed by aggregating maps of the first face with different expressions using the tension map, and the expanded wrinkle texture comprises a map of the first face formed by aggregating maps of the first face with different expressions using the tension map. A graphics engine may be used to apply the wrinkle textures to the 3D model according to the tension map; and render the image from the 3D model.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Tadas BALTRUSAITIS, Charles Thomas HEWITT, Erroll William WOOD, Chirag Anantha RAMAN

Patent number: 11921500Abstract: Technology for generating and displaying a graphical user interface for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed herein that generates and updates a representation of a spline flight path. In various implementations, a graphical user interface detects user interactions with a remote control device directing the flight control subsystem of the UAV to record keyframes and to compute a spline based on the keyframes during flight. The graphical user interface displays a real-time perspective of the UAV with a representation of the spline and the keyframes overlaying the view. The graphical user interface continually updates the representation as the UAV flies and when the spline is updated as the keyframes are updated.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Skydio, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Thomas Beaudouin-Lafon, Saumya Pravinbhai Shah, Kristen Marie Holtz, James Anthony Ferrandini, Hayk Martirosyan, Matthew Joseph Donahoe, Charles VanSchoonhoven Wood, Clara Kelley, Adam Parker Bry, Jack Louis Zhu
