AUTONOMOUS AND USER CONTROLLED VEHICLE SUMMON TO A TARGET

A vehicle can be called to a specific location chosen by a user who is not inside the vehicle. It uses sensors to understand its surroundings and create a map of the area around it. The vehicle then figures out the best route to reach the chosen location. As it moves, it continuously updates its path using new information from its sensors. Finally, the vehicle drives itself to the target location without needing further input from the user.

REAL-TIME EXTRACTION OF HUMAN POSES FROM VIDEO FOR ANIMATION OF AVATARS

The technology allows computers to track human movements in real-time from video footage. It identifies key points on a person's body in each frame of the video. Then, it creates a sequence of 3D body poses that match the person's movements. A special tool called a spatial-temporal transformer helps calculate the angles of these key points by looking at both the position in each frame and the changes over time. This process can be used to animate avatars that mimic human actions accurately.

GENETICALLY PERSONALIZED FOOD RECOMMENDATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

A system helps people choose the best food for their health based on their genes and medical needs. It keeps a database that connects specific nutrients to a person's genetic and health information. Users can enter their details and select a restaurant they plan to visit. The system then finds nutrients that match their genetic profile and health goals, along with menu items that fit their dietary preferences. Finally, it provides a personalized list of healthy food options available at that restaurant.

BLOCKCHAIN-BASED ASSET AUTHENTICATION METHODS AND SYSTEMS

A system uses blockchain technology to verify and track ownership of valuable items, like luxury goods. Each item is paired with an authentication chip, and a record of this pairing is stored on the blockchain. When the item is bought or sold, the blockchain updates to reflect the new ownership, and the new owner receives a digital passport for their item. This connection between digital identities and physical products enhances the value for customers investing in luxury items. Additionally, it promotes sustainability and transparency in how these goods are made and sold.

3D-Printed Epidermal Wearable Microfluidic Electronic Skin for Machine Learning-Powered Multimodal Health Surveillance

A new wearable device is designed to monitor health by using a special 3D-printed electronic skin. This skin is made from advanced materials like nanomaterials, polymers, and hydrogels. It includes sensors and processors that can detect various health indicators from the user's skin. By analyzing both fluid samples and physiological data, it provides a comprehensive assessment of the user's health. This technology aims to improve health monitoring and surveillance in a convenient way.

VIDEO GENERATION DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER PROGRAM

A device creates videos that show 3D models placed in a virtual space. These models are made from scanned images of real objects. Users can interact with the video, and the device responds to their inputs. Depending on where the 3D model is located in the virtual space, different effects are added to the video. The final output is displayed on a screen for viewers to see.

SMART CONTACT LENS

A smart contact lens is designed to sit on the eye and has two surfaces. Between these surfaces, there is a special antenna that forms a closed loop. This antenna is shaped like a ring and has an extra part that extends outwards. The lens can communicate with other devices, making it more than just a regular contact lens. It combines vision correction with advanced technology.

INTELLIGENT WELLNESS MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

An intelligent wellness management platform helps people improve their health by combining different aspects of wellness into one easy-to-use system. It uses advanced AI to create personalized plans that change as users' goals and situations change. A virtual advisor assists users in setting goals, entering data, and providing ongoing support for a smooth experience. The platform also connects users with others, allowing them to share experiences and enhance their wellness together. By processing data in real-time and considering user feedback, it offers tailored recommendations, enabling individuals to manage their wellness journeys with freedom and flexibility.

PERSONALIZED AVATAR RESPONSIVE TO USER PHYSICAL STATE AND CONTEXT

A personalized avatar can help guide users during their activities by responding to their physical state and context. The system collects biochemical information about the user's health, like the status of certain biomarkers. It then analyzes this data to understand the user's current physical condition. Based on this analysis, the avatar's appearance changes to match the user's state, providing a more tailored experience. This technology aims to enhance user engagement and support during various routines or programs.

DECODING LANGUAGE FROM NON-INVASIVE BRAIN RECORDINGS

Researchers have developed a method to understand what people are thinking by analyzing their brain activity without any surgery. They use tools like fMRI and fNIRS to measure changes in blood flow in the brain, which relate to how neurons are working. A special model then takes this brain data and predicts the next word someone might say. By combining these predictions, the system can reconstruct continuous speech or sequences of words. This technology could help in communication for people who have difficulty speaking.
