  • Patent number: 12266048
    Abstract: Technologies for transitioning between two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) display views for video conferencing are described herein. Video conferencing applications can have multiple display views for a user participating in a video conference. In certain situations a user may want to transition from a 2D display view of the video conference to a more immersive 3D display view. These transitions can be visually jarring and create an uncomfortable user experience. The transition from a 2D display view to a 3D display view can be improved by executing the transition to a 3D display view by manipulating visual properties of a virtual camera that is employed to generate the display views.

    Abstract: A light spot display method and an apparatus are disclosed. After a fingerprint event in a fingerprint detection area is detected, a light spot drawing instruction is generated, and a light spot is drawn in response to the light spot drawing instruction to obtain light spot display data, and fingerprint scenario marking information and the light spot display data are simultaneously sent, so as to ensure that a display driver synchronously receives the fingerprint scenario marking information and the light spot display data. This solution reduces the time consumed in the light spot display process, that is, increases the light spot display speed. The fingerprint image can be obtained and the fingerprint can be recognized only after the light spot is normally displayed. Therefore, this solution increases the speed of responding to a fingerprint event, and then reduces the time consumed in the entire fingerprint recognition process.

  • Patent number: 12067719
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a system and computer-implemented method are provided for determining one or more regions for tissue dissection in a series of pathology slides using a series of images which represent a digitized version of the series of pathology slides. Annotations are obtained for at least two reference images, with each annotation representing a region for tissue dissection in the respective reference image. Annotations are then generated for intermediate images between the reference images on the basis of bidirectional image registration and the subsequent propagation of both annotations to each intermediate image, which annotations are then combined to obtain a combined annotation for each intermediate image. The above measures are well suited to generate annotations for series of pathology slides which contain tissue slices of a tissue of interest having a complex 3D shape.

  • Patent number: 12053645
    Abstract: Robust optimization systems and methods are provided for intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) that may be deployed in a clinically practical way to enable users to control the balance between nominal plan quality and plan robustness in a user-defined way. The method may include a normalized dose interval volume histogram (NDIVH)-based robust optimization, where the normalized dose interval (NDI) is calculated for each voxel considering dose variations in the face of uncertainties. It is then used to create a NDIVH. The area under this NDIVH curve may then be used to quantify plan robustness. By using normalized dose interval volume constraints (NDIVC) to control the shape of the NDIVH curves, plan robustness may be adjusted. The tradeoff between nominal plan quality and plan robustness can be modified in a user-defined way by adjusting positions of the NDIVCs on the NDIVH curves.

  • Patent number: 12051235
    Abstract: Synthetic training information/data of a second probe style is generated based on first probe information/data of a first probe style using a style transfer model. First probe information/data is defined. An instance of first probe information/data comprises labels and first probe style sensor information/data. A style transfer model generates training information/data based on at least a portion of the first probe information/data. An instance of training information/data corresponds to an instance of first probe information/data and comprises second probe style sensor information/data. The first and second probe styles are different. A second probe style model is trained using machine learning and the training information/data. The second probe style model is used to analyze second probe style second probe information/data to extract map information/data from the second probe information/data. Each instance of second probe data is captured by one or more second probe sensors of a second probe apparatus.
