Patent number: 11733528Abstract: A rugged integrated helmet vision system is disclosed. The system includes an accessory connector for connecting an accessory such as a heads-up display (HUD) device to a helmet worn by a user. The accessory connector includes a connector arm assembly with a portion that attaches the connector to the helmet, and another portion that attaches the accessory to the connector. The portions each provide multiple degrees of freedom of movement to allow adjustment of the connector with respect to the helmet, and adjustment of the accessory with respect to an eye of the user. The connector also provides the ability to lock positions of and the degrees of freedom of movement of the connector arm assembly via a single locking actuator with one-handed operation. In embodiments, a control box computer system at the helmet communicates with various soldier-portable networks to send and receive information for display by a HUD device accessory.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: GALVION LTD.Inventors: Christopher Moore, Ed Hall, Mathew Reichl, Pascal Tremblay

Patent number: 11601620Abstract: The invention is based, in part, on a system and method designed to be able to easily and automatically scale up to millions of cameras and users. To do this, this discourse teaches use of modern cloud computing technology, including automated service provisioning, automated virtual machine migration services, RESTful API, and various firewall traversing methods to facilitate the scaling process. Moreover, the system and method described herein teaches scalable cloud solutions providing for higher though-put camera provisioning and event recognition. The network may segregate the retrieval server from the storage server, and by doing so, minimizing the load on any one server and improving network efficiency and scalability.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: IntelliVision Technologies Corp.Inventors: Vaidhi Nathan, Krishna Khadloya, Prakash Narayan, Albert Kay

Patent number: 11593650Abstract: Techniques are provided for determining confident data samples for machine learning (ML) models on unseen data. In one embodiment, a method is provided that comprises extracting, by a system comprising a processor, a feature vector for a data sample based on projection of the data sample onto a standard feature space. The method further comprises processing, by the system, the feature vector using an outlier detection model to determine whether the data sample is within a scope of a training dataset used to train a machine learning model, wherein the outlier detection model was trained using features extracted from the training dataset based on projection of data samples included in the training dataset onto the standard feature space.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: GE Precision Healthcare LLCInventors: Min Zhang, Gopal B. Avinash, Zili Ma, Kevin H. Leung, Wen Jin

Patent number: 11533423Abstract: A method for contrast-based autofocus of an image capture device. The method includes obtaining sensor data representative of an image captured by the image capture device, wherein the sensor data comprises pixel values from respective sensor pixels of an image sensor of the image capture device. A subset of the pixel values is dynamically selected to generate selected sensor data representative of the subset of the pixel values. The selected sensor data is processed to generate contrast data representative of a contrast-based characteristic of at least a portion of the image. The contrast data is processed to determine a focus setting for the image capture device.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Arm LimitedInventors: Nerhun Yildiz, Samuel Sándor Rot
