Patent number: 9877791Abstract: Systems and methods provide visualization of the projected results of an aesthetic treatment, such as facial skin therapy, using an image display device and a plurality of stored transformation instructions. The system receives an input image of a subject, such as a recent portrait photograph. The system determines the aesthetic treatment to apply, retrieves the associated transformation instructions, and transforms the input image with the transformation instructions to produce a modified image that represents changes to the subject's face that are expected to occur after the selected treatment. The system may include or access a virtual treatment visualization engine that stores transformation parameters describing changes to make to the input image based on the selected treatment and other input parameters. The transformation parameters may be obtained from a model that received the selected treatment. The system may determine similarities of the subject to the model.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2016Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: PERSAIS, LLCInventors: Michael H. Slayton, Vadim Kouklev

Patent number: 9729592Abstract: Virtual assistant systems (“VAs”) operate on a distributed and interconnected network, such as a hierarchy or mesh, of virtual assistant platforms (“VAPs”). VAs communicate with a user via an electronic device, and can communicate with other devices, software programs, and other VAs. VAs include intelligent agents configured to perform particular tasks. The VAP includes an execution environment that may provide an interface between the VA and the electronic device, and may further provide a framework of services for implementing, maintaining, and executing the intelligent agents. A VA may be configured to participate in a group VA in which knowledge and tasks can be shared and cooperatively executed. Cooperative execution can include distributing subtasks among VAs in the group VA, the subtasks together forming the task. Group VAs can share information with each other, and may further inter-network by accessing a common network outside the VAP, such as a social network.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: PERSAIS, LLCInventors: Michael H.

Patent number: 9241683Abstract: A system and method for improved imaging is disclosed. An exemplary system provides a peripheral ultrasound system connected to a host computer with a plug-and-play interface such as a USB. An exemplary system utilizes a dedicated graphics processing unit such as a graphics card to analyze data obtained from a region of interest to produce an image on one or more output units for the user's viewing. Based on the image displayed on the output units, the user can determine the velocity of the moving tissue and fluid. The system of the present invention can be used to produce a Doppler color flow map or for power Doppler imaging.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2006Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Ardent Sound Inc.Inventors: Michael H.

Publication number: 20050240105Abstract: A method for reducing electronic artifacts in ultrasound images of anatomical tissue. At least two calibration signals are received from imaging ultrasound waves that have been reflected from different regions in anatomical tissue. A correction signal is derived from the calibration signals. The correction signal is subtracted from a signal to derive a corrected signal. An image generated from the corrected signal is then displayed. The correction signal may be derived using weighted averaging and may be updated upon receipt of additional signals. The correction signal may be initialized to zero periodically, in response to a change in the system, or at the direction of the operator.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2004Publication date: October 27, 2005Inventors: T.
