  • Patent number: 11977854
    Abstract: Methods are provided, such as a method of interacting with a large language model (LLM), including the step of a processing system using a structured, machine-readable representation of data that conforms to a machine-readable language, such as a universal language, to provide new context data for the LLM, in order to improve the output, such as continuation text output, generated by the LLM in response to a prompt; and such as a method of interacting with a LLM, including the step of providing continuation data generated by the LLM to a processing system that uses a structured, machine-readable representation of data that conforms to a machine-readable language, such as a universal language, in which the processing system is configured to analyse the continuation output generated by the LLM in response to a prompt to enable an improved version of that continuation output to be provided to a user. Related computer systems are provided.

  • Patent number: 11975807
    Abstract: An aquatic rescue vehicle formed by adding directional and speed controls to a watercraft along with an autonomous control system to guide the vehicle to specified waypoints is disclosed. The rescue vehicle includes search devices such as a radio direction finder (RDF) and an infrared sensor (or camera) to be used to narrow the search for an isolated person (IP). The rescue vehicle may be discharged from a larger watercraft or an airplane and autonomously set out on its rescue mission. The vehicle may first navigate to a designated waypoint near an IP, and then use signals gathered from the RDF and infrared sensor to finally locate, assist, and retrieve the IP. The vehicle also includes a self-righting mechanism so that the vehicle can complete its mission even under the most adverse conditions.

  • Patent number: 11967104
    Abstract: A method of determining the location of an object in a camera field of view is disclosed. The method may utilize a camera system that includes a digital video camera and a computer that runs image analysis software for analyzing images received from the camera. The image analysis software is configured to isolate pixel groups in each image. The method includes the steps of locating an object in the camera's field of view in which the object is represented by a set of pixels; identifying the centroid of the set of pixels representing the object; and calculating the location of the object relative to the camera based upon known parameters including the focal plane and camera lens location.

  • Publication number: 20240123330
    Abstract: Aspects and embodiments of the present invention include an apparatus, including a body suit, for providing improved interactions with media content, particularly interactive digital content. The body suit is rotatable around a base and includes one or more of knee, hip and elbow joints that can be driven by motors, or manually. Furthermore, one or more of the knee, hip and elbow can apply resistance to motion by way of braking means. The motors and braking means of aspects and embodiments of the invention, as well as force feedback attachments, provide a sense of realism through improved interaction with interactive digital content. In addition, real world movements of the body suit can be interpreted into digital interactions within an interactive digital content environment.

  • Patent number: 11944409
    Abstract: Systems and methods for threat evaluation and data collection are described herein. An example method may commence with collecting, by a wearable device, sensor data from one or more sensors installed on the wearable device. The wearable device may be worn by a user and be communicatively coupled to a central data portal and one or more external sources. The method may include receiving external sensor data from the one or more external sources. The method may continue with processing the sensor data and the external sensor data to evaluate a user state. The user state may be indicative of at least one physical threat to the user or at least one medical condition of the user. The method may further include transmitting the user state to the central data portal. The central data portal may be configured to process the user state for storage and visualization.

  • Patent number: 11741454
    Abstract: A mobile device having a position determination device and a mobile application configured, in response to the location of the mobile device determined by the position determination device, to: predict a transaction based at least in part on the location of the mobile device; select, based at least in part on the location of the mobile device, a first account for the transaction from a plurality of accounts identified by the identification information; and provide, via the user interface, an alert identifying the first account, before a user of the mobile device begins to make the transaction. The prediction can be made based on a location pattern relative to the location of a transaction terminal and/or the detection of short-range wireless signals of the transaction terminal.

  • Publication number: 20230263726
    Abstract: A layered edible product includes a core and at least one active layer that is supported by the core. The at least one active layer can include a respective API. The edible product is configured to be placed against a mucosal surface of the oral cavity, which causes the respective API of the at least one active layer to enter the bloodstream through the mucosal surface. The core can be ingested gastrointestinally or can be dissolvable against the mucosal surface or both. The core can include a core API, or optionally the core can be API-free.
