Patent number: 11892938Abstract: An analyzer system inputs parameter values from trace files of a software application into an autoencoder. The analyzer system adjusts weights of the edges between nodes in the autoencoder until reconstruction errors in outputs are minimized. The analyzer system receives a selection of a parameter represented in an autoencoder. In response, the analyzer system identifies hidden layer nodes connected to an output node corresponding to the selected parameter and identifies other output nodes connected to the hidden layer nodes. The analyzer system retrieves weights assigned to edges between the hidden layer nodes and the other output nodes. The analyzer system calculates correlation values between the output node corresponding to the selected parameter and each of the other output nodes and outputs the correlation values. A user can use the correlation values to better direct the root cause analysis.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew Green, Narayana Aditya Madineni, Michael W.

Patent number: 11887319Abstract: Various methods for reducing artifacts in OCT images of an eye are described. In one exemplary method, three dimensional OCT image data of the eye is collected. Motion contrast information is calculated in the OCT image data. A first image and a second image are created from the motion contrast information. The first and the second images depict vasculature information regarding one or more upper portions and one or more deeper portions, respectively. The second image contains artifacts. Using an inverse calculation, a third image is determined that can be mixed with the first image to generate the second image. The third image depicts vasculature regarding the same one or more deeper portions as the second image but has reduced artifacts. A depth dependent correction method is also described that can be used in combination with the inverse problem based method to further reduce artifacts in OCT angiography images.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.Inventors: Homayoun Bagherinia, Nathan D.

Patent number: 11886174Abstract: Embodiments simulate a manufacturing resource including a cable by creating a polyline model of the cable that includes a collection of points. For each point, there is an associated point mass and zero mass sphere, and an assigned elasticity and torsional stiffness between the point and adjacent points. Position and orientation of a start point and an end point of the points is defined based upon position in three dimensional (3D) space of a manufacturing resource. In turn, a simulation of the cable for a time step is performed by computing forces on each point using: (i) the associated point mass, (ii) the associated zero mass sphere, (iii) the assigned elasticity and torsional stiffness between the point and adjacent points, and (iv) the defined position and orientation of the start point and end point. Performing the simulation determines position in 3D space of each point based on the computed forces.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Dassault Systemes Americas Corp.Inventor: Uday Pathre
