Automatic Control Of Lighting During Video Capture, Neil Hendin, Fei Wu
Automatic Control Of Lighting During Video Capture, Neil Hendin, Fei Wu
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure describes techniques to automatically optimize lighting conditions around a subject of a video or photograph to produce a better lit image. With user permission, ambient light conditions are analyzed by using image processing and machine learning and available light sources are adjusted to optimize the lighting of the scene. In contrast to traditional techniques that passively adapt to existing light conditions, the described techniques actively modify the light falling on the subject. Effectively, the techniques extend and improve AAA algorithms (auto exposure, auto white balance, autofocus) to include auto lighting. The techniques can be applied in any image …
Smooth Migration Of Sms/Mms Conversations To Rich Messaging Apps, Simon J. Perkins
Smooth Migration Of Sms/Mms Conversations To Rich Messaging Apps, Simon J. Perkins
Defensive Publications Series
A phone-based chat conversation between two or more people can begin via text message, with the participants using an application that supports chat SMS or MMS. Text is a convenient mode to start a conversation because it is simple and works for almost everyone. However, SMS/MMS lack features found in more advanced messaging apps, such as typing indicators, read receipts, reactions, persistent rooms, better behavior in areas with poor cell service, etc. This disclosure describes techniques to provide a simple, one-touch way for users of SMS-based messaging apps to migrate a conversation to richer messaging applications and take advantage of …

A Method To Convey And Enforce Part Requirements For Automatic Nesting Of 3d Parts Into A Build, Hp Inc
Defensive Publications Series
In batch additive manufacturing processes such as MJF and MetalJet, parts are produced in batches as opposed to printed individually. A pre-requisite is that parts are grouped and oriented into what is called a build. This process is sometimes called ‘nesting’ or ‘packing’ and is performed by professionals sometimes referred to as DFM Engineer or simply DFM (Design for Manufacturing). As a costly process, solutions have been developed to automate it. Specific build preparation guidelines are developed to specify things like minimal distance between parts, between part and the walls of the build volume, part orientation (flat vs tilted) and …

Reliable Assembly Of Double-Sided Or Clamshell Bga Devices, N/A
Defensive Publications Series
The top and bottom components of double-sided printed circuit boards (PCBs) can have different thermal masses and therefore, absorb heat at different rates. During reflow soldering, the component with the smaller thermal mass rises and falls in temperature relatively fast, causing PCB warpage and damage of solder joints. This disclosure describes techniques to equalize the thermal masses of the top and bottom components of a printed circuit board by modifying the PCB and component geometry. Balancing of thermal masses can be achieved by adding or modifying the layers in the package substrate and the PCB to allow for a larger …

On-Chip Double Data Rate Serial Bus, N/A
Defensive Publications Series
Silicon chip area is expensive, especially for cutting-edge process nodes. Moreover, on-chip wire density has not been scaling well with technology. This disclosure describes techniques that leverage n:1 serdes designs, e.g., double data rate (DDR) design, to reduce wire count and congestion, thus freeing up scarce silicon area. For example, if n=2 (double data rate), wire count and congestion can be reduced by half.
Method For Generating Complex-Valued Score For Deep Learning Models, Pei Yang, Peng Wu, Dan Wang
Method For Generating Complex-Valued Score For Deep Learning Models, Pei Yang, Peng Wu, Dan Wang
Defensive Publications Series
The present disclosure discloses a method to construct deep neural network models (102) that can generate complex-valued scores in FinTech. The method employs conformal mapping, which maps points in the upper half-plane onto the unit disc while using the complex-valued number in the unit disc as the deep learning model's score. This gives the score two degrees of freedom, which helps to avoid the score overlapping problem that happens when using a real-valued score ([0, 1] interval). For training deep learning models, the approach also includes a loss function. On the basis of the Loss value, the deep learning model …

Unified Script File Format For Provisioning The Adf In A Fira Applet, Mbhb Mbhb, Steven Liu, Ning Zhang
Defensive Publications Series
The Common Service Management Layer (CSML) section of the FiRa specification defines certain procedures that facilitate communicating with a secure element of a device to further facilitate the generation of a dynamic scrambled timestamp sequence (STS). Some of these procedures involve communicating an application protocol data unit (APDU) script file from a service provider to a UWB-enabled device and, in particular, to a FiRa applet operating on the device. The specification does not define a standard format for the script file. This shortcoming is addressed herein by specifying a standard format for the script file in the FiRa specification (e.g., …

Defensive Publications Series
Online content providers typically provided personalized content recommendations. Content is available across many domains or verticals. Within each vertical, content can occur in clusters. A cluster is a set of content with correlated viewership. Certain metrics such as user engagement, user appeal, etc., apply to all content verticals while some metrics such as re-engagement, subscriptions, etc., apply only to specific verticals. The vertical-specific metrics are not comparable across verticals. This disclosure describes techniques to rank clusters within verticals that may have different and incomparable metrics or objectives. In a first pass, the clusters are ranked by metrics common across multiple …

Defensive Publications Series
Provided are computerized systems and methods for biometrically authenticating a user’s identity using a learned representation of the user’s neurological patterns, processes, and/or decision making, which may generally be referred to as a “biometric brain fingerprint”. Example techniques include asking the user to perform a task and comparing their performance or response to a biometric brain fingerprint learned from prior user performance on tasks. For example, the user’s response can be compared to a predicted response that has been predicted by a machine-learned biometric model that has been trained based on data from the prior user performance on tasks.

Measuring End-To-End Media Latency In Videoconferencing Using Audio Watermarking, Ole Gauteplass, Ragnvald Barth
Measuring End-To-End Media Latency In Videoconferencing Using Audio Watermarking, Ole Gauteplass, Ragnvald Barth
Defensive Publications Series
An important factor for ensuring high quality collaboration meetings is low end-to-end audio and video latency between the meeting participants. Traditional network tools measure network latency only, and not the additional latency that is introduced by media processing. Measuring the true media latency between participants in a collaboration meeting is thus important. Preferably, such measurements are made during every call using signals that are undetectable by a user. Techniques are presented herein that support the encoding of an inaudible watermark message into the audio streams of a video conference. By measuring the roundtrip time of such a message, the measurement …
