Patent number: 11979721Abstract: A wearable device can provide an audio module that is operable to provide audio output from a distance away from the ears of the user. For example, the wearable device can be worn on clothing of the user and direct audio waves to the ears of the user. Such audio waves can be focused by a parametric array of speakers that limit audibility by others. Thus, the privacy of the audio directed to the user can be maintained without requiring the user to wear audio headsets on, over, or in the ears of the user. The wearable device can further include microphones and/or connections to other devices that facilitate calibration of the audio module of the wearable device. The wearable device can further include user sensors that are configured to detect, measure, and/or track one or more properties of the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel A. Podhajny, Joshua A. Hoover, Nicholas R. Trincia, Yue Chen, Seul Bi Kim, Chad J. Miller, Kristen L. Cretella, Yi Zou, William Leith

Patent number: 11977659Abstract: An IoT/M2M service layer may be provided with the capability to protect user privacy. This functionality may allow the IoT/M2M service layer to anonymize user data, particularly when user data is shared with third party consumers. A privacy policy service may enable the IoT service layer system to generate anonymization (e.g., privacy) policies based on inputs such as legal obligations, subscriber privacy preferences, and an authorization level of the data consumer. Data anonymization policies may be output from the privacy policy service and may be sent to a data anonymization service, where raw data may be anonymized based on the one or more data anonymization policies. The output from the data anonymization service function may be a privatized (e.g., anonymized) version of data that may prevent the data consumer from discovering one or more identifying characteristics of a user.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Convida Wireless, LLCInventors: Jiwan L Ninglekhu, Michael F.

Publication number: 20240145050Abstract: Systems and methods for phenotyping clinical data are provided. The method includes obtaining episodic records comprising unstructured clinical data from an electronic medical record (EMR) or electronic health record (EHR) for patients. The method also includes filtering the episodic records by language pattern recognition to identify episodic records that each includes an expression related to a clinical condition. The method also includes splitting each episodic record to obtain snippets comprising tokens. The method also includes predicting if an episodic record represents an instance of the clinical condition using a trained classifier. The trained classifier includes an aggregation function that aggregates the snippets to output a corresponding representation for the episodic record, and an interpretation function that interprets the corresponding representation to output a corresponding prediction for whether the episodic record represents an instance of the clinical condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: William E.

Publication number: 20240134818Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a programmable processor architecture that enables data interpolation using an architecture that iteratively processes portions of a look-up table (LUT) in accordance with a fused single instruction stream, multiple data streams (SIMD) instruction. The LUT may contain segment entries that correspond to a result of evaluating a function using a corresponding index values, which represent an independent variable of the function. The index values are used to map data sample values in a data array that is to be interpolated to the segment entries. By using an iterative process of mapping data samples to valid segment entries contained in each LUT portion, the architecture advantageously facilitates scaling to support larger LUTs and thus may be expanded to enable linear interpolation on multiple dimensions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Zoran Zivkovic, Jian-Guo Chen, Jay ONeill, Joseph Williams

Publication number: 20240121227Abstract: Existing approaches to security within network, for instance oneM2M networks, are limited. For example, content might only be protected while the content is in transit between entities that trust each other. Here, the integrity and the confidentiality of content in an M2M network are protected. Such content may be “at rest,” such that the content is stored at a hosting node. Only authorized entities may store and retrieve the data that is stored at the hosting node, and the data may be protected from a confidentiality perspective and an integrity perspective.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Vinod Kumar CHOYI, Yogendra C.
