  • Patent number: 12292884
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for maintaining of a geometric object in a database. An embodiment operates by a database maintaining a first page storing a data block in the database's on-disk store such that the data block stores at least one byte of the geometric object. After receiving the request for the geometric object, the database loads the page storing the geometric object in the in-memory store and determines the size of the geometric object. Based on the size of the geometric object, the database stores the geometric object in the in-memory store directly or in a heap of the in-memory store.

  • Patent number: 12285690
    Abstract: Generating and validating a subscription key based on subscription parameters associated with a jurisdiction file stored in a NVRAM, the subscription key having characters based on a subscription start date, a subscription term, a key generation date, and a cyclical redundancy check value. Parameters are extracted from the subscription key including the subscription start date, the subscription term, the key generation date, and the cyclical redundancy check value and are stored in a memory of the gaming machine. The key is checked by generating a local cyclical redundancy check value based on a MAC address of the gaming machine and one or more of the extracted parameters, and is validated when the local cyclical redundancy check value matches the cyclical redundancy check value extracted from the subscription key. The jurisdiction file may be updated during a RAM clear function during installation of the gaming machine.

    Abstract: A speech recognition system includes, or has access to, conventional speech recognizer data, including a conventional acoustic model and pronunciation dictionary. The speech recognition system generates restructured speech recognizer data from the conventional speech recognizer data. When used at runtime by a speech recognizer module, the restructured speech recognizer data produces more accurate and efficient results than those produced using the conventional speech recognizer data. The restructuring involves segmenting entries of the conventional pronunciation dictionary and acoustic model according to their constituent phonemes and grouping those entries with the same initial N phonemes, for some integer N (e.g., N=3), and deriving a restructured dictionary with a corresponding semi-word acoustic model for the various grouped entries.

  • Patent number: 11928553
    Abstract: Based upon the principles of randomness and self-modification a novel computing machine is constructed. This computing machine executes computations, so that it is difficult to apprehend by an adversary and hijack with malware. These methods can also be used to help thwart reverse engineering of proprietary algorithms, hardware design and other areas of intellectual property. Using quantum randomness in the random instructions and self-modification in the meta instructions, creates computations that are incomputable by a digital computer. In an embodiment, a more powerful computational procedure is created than a computational procedure equivalent to a digital computer procedure. Current digital computer algorithms and procedures can be constructed or designed with ex-machine programs, that are specified by standard instructions, random instructions and meta instructions. A novel computer is invented so that a program's execution is difficult to apprehend.

  • Patent number: 11893747
    Abstract: The invention provides an image segmentation method and an electronic device. The image segmentation method includes the following steps. Regression analysis is performed on a first gray-scale image to obtain a residual image having an object backbone area. A pixel value of each pixel in the object backbone area is defined as an average gray-scale value of the object backbone area in the residual image, and a second gray-scale image having the object backbone area is generated. It is recursively determined whether a residual polarity of each adjacent pixel adjacent to edge pixels of the object backbone area in the residual image is the same as a residual polarity of the corresponding edge pixel, and whether a pixel value of each adjacent pixel is greater than a first threshold, so as to expand the object backbone area in the second gray-scale image, which is extracted as a target object.

  • Patent number: 11875590
    Abstract: Examples provide a self-supervised language model for document-to-document similarity scoring and ranking long documents of arbitrary length in an absence of similarity labels. In a first stage of a two-staged hierarchical scoring, a sentence similarity matrix is created for each paragraph in the candidate document. A sentence similarity score is calculated based on the sentence similarity matrix. In the second stage, a paragraph similarity matrix is constructed based on aggregated sentence similarity scores associated with the first candidate document. A total similarity score for the document is calculated based on the normalize the paragraph similarity matrix for each candidate document in a collection of documents. The model is trained using a masked language model and intra-and-inter document sampling. The documents are ranked based on the similarity scores for the documents.

  • Patent number: 11830294
    Abstract: An electronic voting system is described that utilizes printed vote records (PVRs) in which a voter's vote selections are recorded in voter readable characters. Optical character recognition (OCR) techniques may then be utilized to scan the PVR to record the voter's selections. The OCR data is then utilized to generate the cast vote record. Thus, the electronic voting system directly interprets the voter selections from the PVR just as the voter sees the data. In this manner “what you see is what you get” printed vote record data is provided for a voter's viewing and that same data is used to generate the cast vote record.

  • Patent number: 11810382
    Abstract: Techniques for training an optical character recognition (OCR) model to detect and recognize text in images for robotic process automation (RPA) are disclosed. A text detection model and a text recognition model may be trained separately and then combined to produce the OCR model. Synthetic data and a smaller amount of real, human-labeled data may be used for training to increase the speed and accuracy with which the OCR text detection model and the text recognition model can be trained. After the OCR model has been trained, a workflow may be generated that includes an activity calling the OCR model, and a robot implementing the workflow may be generated and deployed.

  • Patent number: 11797767
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for generating multiple scanned files when scanning a document. The method includes receiving a document for scanning from a user. Once received, a user interface is displayed to the user to input one or more keywords based on which multiple scanned files are to be generated. A single scanned file is generated in a pre-defined format. One or more pages having the keywords as input by the user are identified from the scanned file. Based on the one or more identified pages having the keywords input by the user, separate multiple scanned files are automatically generated. As a result, a single scan activity performed by the user generates multiple scanned files.
