  • Patent number: 12026860
    Abstract: System and method for detecting the authenticity of products by detecting a unique chaotic signature. Photos of the products are taken at the plant and stored in a database/server. The server processes the images to detect for each authentic product a unique authentic signature which is the result of a manufacturing process, a process of nature etc. To detect whether the product is genuine or not at the store, the user/buyer may take a picture of the product and send it to the server (e.g. using an app installed on a portable device or the like). Upon receipt of the photo, the server may process the receive image in search for a pre-detected and/or pre-stored chaotic signature associated with an authentic product. The server may return a response to the user indicating the result of the search. A feedback mechanism may be included to guide the user to take a picture at a specific location of the product where the chaotic signature may exist.

    Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for controlling the presentation of a series of virtual or graphical elements on a display in response to hand gestures detected by an eyewear device that is capturing frames of video data with its camera system. An image processing system detects a series of hand shapes in the video data and determines whether it matches a predefined hand gesture. Each predefined hand gesture is associated with an action; for example, a leafing gesture is associated with a scrolling action. The system controls the display of a series of virtual elements, in accordance with the associated action. In an example series of hand shapes that includes flexing and extending the fingers of a single hand severally and continually in a leafing motion, the matching predefined leafing gesture is associated with a scrolling action, which displays the series of items in a display order, sequentially and in accordance with the detected speed of the moving fingers.

  • Patent number: 11928877
    Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for automatic context-based annotation by leveraging a priori knowledge from annotations in template documents. A large library of template documents may be generated and pre-processed in many implementations to identify annotations or other inclusions commonly present on documents related to or conforming to the template. Newly scanned documents may be compared to these templates, and when a similar template is identified, annotation locations and types from the template may be applied to the newly scanned document to recognize and classify annotations and inclusions. To increase efficiency and provide scalability, comparisons of scanned documents and template documents may be distributed amongst a plurality of computing devices for processing in parallel, with similarity results aggregated.

  • Patent number: 11928126
    Abstract: A computer implemented method transforms data. Responsive to receiving a data transformation of an input string to an output string, a computer system identifies mappable tokens in the input string that are mappable to the output string. The computer system creates a set of initial mappings for a set of common tokens in the mappable tokens. The set of initial mappings maps the set of common tokens from the input string to the output string. The computer system creates a set of user mappings that maps the mappable tokens from input string to the output string using a user input to the set of initial mappings. The computer system generates program code that transform input strings to output strings using the set of user mappings that maps the mappable tokens from input string to the output string, wherein the program code is used to transform input strings to output strings.

  • Patent number: 11907627
    Abstract: In an integrated circuit (IC) assessment method, an artificial intelligence (AI) component comprising at least one artificial neural network (ANN) is trained to transform layout rendering tiles of a rendering of a reference IC into corresponding reference layout image tiles extracted from at least one layout image of the reference IC. Using the trained AI component, standard cell layout renderings of a library of GDSII or OASIS standard cell layout renderings are transformed into as-fabricated standard cell layout renderings forming a library of as fabricated standard cell layout renderings. Instantiated standard cells and their placements in the layout image of an IC-under-test are identified by matching the instantiated standard cells with corresponding as-fabricated standard cell layout renderings retrieved from the library of as fabricated standard cell layout renderings.
