  • Patent number: 11158121
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may be configured to generate accurate and realistic computer-generated clothing for a given body pose. For example, the system may access a data representation of a body pose and generate, based on the data representation, a 3D clothing model for the body pose using a statistical model. The system may generate a first normal map, such as a low-resolution normal map, based on the 3D clothing model. The system may generate a second normal map, such as a high-resolution normal map, by processing the first normal map using a machine-learning model that is trained to generate normal maps with higher levels of detail from normal maps with relatively lower levels of detail. The system may then render clothing for the body pose based on the 3D clothing model and the second normal map.

  • Publication number: 20210278395
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are human trophoblast stem (hTS) cells, differentiated cells thereof, derivatives thereof such as cellular mass, and uses thereof. The isolation of hTS cells can express FGF4, FGFR-2, Oct4, Thy-1, and stage-specific embryonic antigens distributed in different compartments of the cell. The hTS cells are able to derive into specific cell phenotypes of the three primitive embryonic layers, produce chimeric reactions in mice, and retain a normal karyotype and telomere length. In the hTS cells, Oct4 and fgfr-2 expressions can be knockdown by bFGF. The hTS cells could apply to human cell differentiation and for gene and cell-based therapies.

  • Patent number: 10970804
    Abstract: Certainty of detecting a watermark embedded in a color image is increased. Image data acquisition means of an image processing device acquires image data. Histogram generation means generates, based on pixel values of an image indicated by the image data acquired by the image data acquisition means, a histogram for each region in the image. Region selection means selects tom the image a region having a sparse color distribution in the histogram generated by the histogram generation means. Image processing means embeds a watermark in the region selected by the region selection means.

  • Patent number: 10909744
    Abstract: Disclosed herein includes a system, a method, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for generating and rendering computer generated images of simulated garments with wrinkles based on a physics based cloth simulator and a machine learning model. In one aspect, by a physics based cloth simulator executing on one or more processors, a first normal map of a simulated garment having a first level of detail of wrinkles and a second normal map of the simulated garment having a second level of detail of wrinkles higher than the first level of detail of wrinkles are generated. In one aspect, by the one or more processors, the first normal map and the second normal map are provided as inputs to train a machine learning model. In one aspect, by the one or more processors via training, the machine learning model is configured to generate an output normal map with a level of detail of wrinkles higher than that of an input normal map.

  • Patent number: 10746728
    Abstract: Existence of human trophoblast stem (hTS) cells has been suspected but unproved. The isolation of hTS cells is reported in the early stage of chorionic villi by expressions of FGF4, FGFR-2, Oct4, Thy-1, and stage-specific embryonic antigens distributed in different compartments of the cell. hTS cells are able to derive into specific cell phenotypes of the three primitive embryonic layers, produce chimeric reactions in mice, and retain a normal karyotype and telomere length. In hTS cells, Oct4 and fgfr-2 expressions can be knockdown by bFGF. These facts suggest that differentiation of the hTS cells play an important role in implantation and placentation. hTS cells could apply to human cell differentiation and for gene and cell-based therapies.
