Publication number: 20260162408Abstract: Examples provide a system for generating image-based training data using progressive data curation. An anchor image of a selected item and historical receipts including the selected item generated during a dynamic receipt retrieval time period are obtained. Images of the carts including the selected item paired with the receipts are analyzed and cropped to isolate the selected item from each cart image. An embedding model generates embeddings representing the anchor image and the cropped images of the selected item. A similarity of the cropped image embeddings to the anchor image embedding is calculated using a similarity metric. The cropped image embeddings are ranked based on the calculated similarity to the anchor image. The images having the highest rank and greatest similarity to the anchor image are selected for inclusion in training data used to train computer vision models to detect and/or recognize the selected item in images of various objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2025Publication date: June 11, 2026Inventors: Feiyun Zhu, Wei Wang, Lingfeng Zhang, Mingquan Yuan, Zhaoliang Duan, Xin Ma, Huanyu Zang, Colin Grant Mitchell, Yanmei Jin, William Craig Robinson, Han Zhang

Publication number: 20260148576Abstract: Examples provide a system and method for dynamically filtering candidate item identifiers (IDs) from a pool of item IDs in real-time for automatic labeling of images for use as training data used to train computer vision (CV) models. Images of carts are paired with item receipts. Candidate item IDs are extracted from the receipts. Item recognition inference results generated by CV models are used to pair images of individual items with item IDs identifying the item in each item image. As each candidate item ID is assigned to an item image, the item ID is dynamically filtered. Any candidate item IDs remaining after filtering are assigned to any item images failing to pair with an item ID based on the infer results. The results are presented for review and status update via a user interface device for faster and more accurate auto-labeling of training data for CV models.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2025Publication date: May 28, 2026Inventors: Huanyu Zang, Wei Wang, Feiyun Zhu, Yanmei Jin, Lingfeng Zhang, Mingquan Yuan, Zhaoliang Duan, William Craig Robinson, Colin Grant Mitchell, Xin Ma

Patent number: 12552773Abstract: The present disclosure provides a compound for specifically enhancing the spatial coupling degree of a TRPV4-KCa2.3 complex and use thereof, and belongs to the field of chemical medicine. The compound with a structure shown in a general formula (I) in the present disclosure is mainly used for re-coupling two uncoupled proteins and restoring the proteins to a normal state under uncoupling of TRPV4 and KCa2.3 in hypertensive patients. Under normal conditions of the TRPV4 and the KCa2.3, a signal of calcium ions is received by the TRPV4. As the calcium ions flow in, potassium ions in a KCa2.3 channel in the downstream are stimulated to flow out. Due to depolarization, vasodilation is caused, and therefore, the blood pressure of the hypertensive patients is returned to a normal level.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: February 17, 2026Assignee: Jiangnan UniversityInventors: Xin Ma, Chunlei Tang, Shaying Yang
