Publication number: 20240095644Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods, systems, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer readable media for customer service agent performance analysis These systems may be of use across a wide-range of applications involving interactions between an organization's representative and one of the organization's customers, users, or similarly situated individual. By enabling a representative's performance to be autonomously assessed, a vastly greater percentage of a business's customer service interactions may be assessed than can be done using traditional human-based evaluations. In turn, the increased assessments may allow an organization to better target training and promotion opportunities and improve the effectiveness of its customer interactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Lisa DeFalco, Michael Tommy Shrove, Timothy Sobey, Christopher Ely

Patent number: 11246551Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program product for computer-aided detection (CAD) of suspicious lesions in digital breast specimen radiographs, wherein single-view feature vectors from a first digital radiograph of the breast specimen are processed in a classification algorithm along with information computed from a plurality of related digital specimen radiographs to assign an overall probability of suspiciousness to potentially suspicious lesions in the first digital breast specimen radiography. In one embodiment, a greater probability of suspiciousness is determined where there are similar corresponding lesions in the first digital breast specimen radiography and in an alternate digital breast specimen radiography view of the same breast specimen.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: KUB Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Vikram Butani, Yan Chen, Timothy Ely, Chester Lowe, Edwin Maria-Selvaraj

Patent number: 10837921Abstract: The aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a method and system for producing tomosynthesis images of a breast specimen with the capability of attaining images with geometric magnification. In one embodiment, an x-ray source delivers x-rays through a specimen of excised tissue and forms an image at a digital x-ray detector with the resultant image enlarging as the specimen is moved closer to the x-ray source. Multiple x-ray images are taken as the x-ray source moves relative to the stationary breast specimen. The source may travel substantially along a path while the detector remains stationary throughout and the source remains substantially equidistant from the specimen platform. The set of x-ray image data taken at the different points are combined to form a tomosynthesis image that can be viewed in different formats, alone or as an adjunct to conventional specimen radiography.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Kub Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Vikram Butani, Yan Chen, Timothy Ely, Chester Lowe, Edwin Maria-Selvaraj, Roberto Velasco

Publication number: 20190187073Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of a cabinet x-ray incorporating an x-ray tube, an x-ray detector, and a real-time camera, either high definition or standard resolution, for the production of organic and non-organic images. The computing device can receive video data from the camera and the x-ray detector and determines, based on the video data, an overlay of the captured x-ray image with the captured real-time image or display images adjacently i.e. Picture-In-Picture (PIP). In particular, the disclosure relates to a system and method with corresponding apparatus for capturing a real-time image simultaneously with the x-ray image allowing a cabinet x-ray unit to attain and optimize images with exact orientation of the 2 images.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2019Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Vikram Butani, Yan Chen, Edwin Divakaran Maria-Selvaraj, Timothy Ely, Chester Lowe, Roberto Velasco
