  • Patent number: 10871784
    Abstract: A virtualized environment corresponding to a physical environment currently surrounding a robot is displayed. The virtualized environment is updated in accordance with streaming environment data received from sensors collocated with the robot. A first user input inserting a first virtual object at a first location in the virtualized environment is detected. The virtualized environment is modified in accordance with the insertion of the first virtual object at the first location. The first virtual object at the first location causes the robot to execute a first navigation path in the physical environment. A second user input is detected that moves the first virtual object along a movement path to a second location in the virtualized environment. The movement path is constrained by simulated surfaces in the virtualized environment, and the first virtual object at the second location causes the robot to execute a modified navigation path in the physical environment.

  • Patent number: 10860949
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed at transforming event logs into features for use in machine learning. In embodiments, a method may include receiving an event log for a user. The event log can indicate an occurrence of a first event associated with the user. The method can also include generating a feature value for the first event. The feature value can be indicative of an amount of time that has passed since the occurrence of the first event. Based, at least in part, on the feature value, an occurrence of a second event can be predicted utilizing a predictive model. The prediction can then be output to enable targeted content associated with the second event to be delivered to the user. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed herein.

  • Patent number: 10816994
    Abstract: A virtual pointer object is displayed within a virtualized environment corresponding to a physical environment currently surrounding a robot. The virtualized environment is generated and updated in accordance with streaming environment data received from sensors collocated with the robot. First user input is detected via a haptic-enabled input device that causes the virtual pointer object to move along a movement path in the virtualized environment, where the movement path is constrained by simulated surfaces in the virtualized environment. Haptic feedback is generated via the haptic-enabled input device in accordance with simulated material and/or structural characteristics of the movement path. The virtualized environment is modified at the locations of marking inputs along the movement path and affects path planning for the robot within the first physical environment.

  • Publication number: 20200278353
    Abstract: Methods are provided for identifying whether a cancer patient, and especially a breast cancer patient, will be responsive to treatment. Specified TOPO2A, IDO1 and/or p16 fragment peptides are precisely detected and quantitated by SRM-mass spectrometry directly in cancer cells collected from tumor tissue that was obtained from a cancer patient and compared to reference levels in order to determine if the cancer patient will positively respond to treatment. Measurement of TOPO2A provides a direct indication of whether a patient will respond to anthracycline-containing therapy, and, in particular, neoadjuvant anthracycline-containing therapy. Quantitative levels of IDO1 and p16 are compared to reference levels in order to determine if a breast cancer patient will likely demonstrate a pathologically complete response (pCR) of cancer after cancer therapy treatment, irrespective of the chosen treatment.
