Active Acoustic Sensing

Active acoustic sensing uses sound waves to monitor health and body signals. A special earbud can detect small changes in the user's ear to track things like heart rate and facial expressions. Instead of using extra sensors, it sends and receives sound signals to gather this information. These earbuds are designed to be small and efficient, making health monitoring easier and more affordable for many people. Overall, this technology enhances the experience of using earbuds while providing valuable health insights.

MOBILE CAMERA-BASED SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME BASEBALL SWING ANALYSIS

A mobile app uses cameras to analyze baseball swings in real-time. It captures high-speed video of the swing with one or two smartphones. A special model identifies important points on the bat during the swing. The app then calculates key swing metrics like speed and angle using machine learning. Users receive instant feedback through easy-to-understand visuals, and they can save their swing data for later review.

LITHOGRAPHIC CAVITY FORMATION TO ENABLE EMIB BUMP PITCH SCALING

An electronic package is created using a special technique that helps connect different parts more efficiently. It has two layers: the bottom layer is made of organic material, and the top layer covers it. A cavity is made in the top layer to reveal part of the bottom layer, where a bridge substrate is placed. This bridge connects two chips, called dies, which are also placed on the top layer. The design allows for better electrical connections between the chips, making the overall package more effective.

APPARATUS FOR MONITORING PET IN VEHICLE, VEHICLE COMPRISING SAME, AND VEHICLE OPERATING METHOD

An apparatus monitors pets inside a vehicle to ensure their safety and comfort. It uses sensors to track the pet's movement and detect nearby objects outside the vehicle. When activated, it also employs noise cancellation technology to make the environment more comfortable for the pet. Information about the pet's behavior can be sent to a registered device, allowing owners to stay informed. Additionally, the system learns from the pet's reactions to provide personalized care even when the owner is not present.

NEXT BEST AGENT SELECTION IN AN ADAPTIVE WORKFLOW

A goal is identified from what someone says. A large language model (LLM) is then used to pick a group of potential agents that can help achieve that goal based on their information. Each of these agents is given a score to see how well they fit the goal. The LLM then chooses the best agent from this scored group, considering specific business rules. Finally, the chosen agent is activated to take action towards reaching the goal.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)-BASED ILLUSTRATED STORY GENERATION SERVICE

An AI system can create illustrated stories using user photos. First, it analyzes the photos to create character descriptions. Then, it generates stylized images of those characters based on the descriptions. To write the story, users provide a narrative prompt along with at least one character profile. Finally, the system creates illustrations for each page of the story based on the text generated.

VERTICAL TAKE-OFF AND LANDING AIRCRAFT WITH AFT ROTOR TILTING

A new type of aircraft can take off and land vertically. It has a body and wings, with two sets of rotating blades called proprotors. The first set is located near the front of the wings, while the second set is at the back. Each set of proprotors can tilt to help the aircraft lift off or move forward. This design allows for better control and efficiency during flight.

TRANSFORMING LEGACY UEFI FIRMWARE TO UNIVERSAL SCALABLE FIRMWARE

Legacy firmware can be updated to a new type called Universal Scalable Firmware (USF). First, information about the old firmware is gathered to understand its complexities. Then, a special process is used to create USF firmware that meets specific standards and addresses some of the old firmware's issues. The new USF firmware is saved in a secure part of the system's storage. This update includes an easier interface and support for different hardware, making it compatible with various systems.

SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF

A new way to make semiconductor devices involves creating a channel structure on a base layer. Next, a gate structure is added that runs in a different direction and covers part of the channel. A gate spacer is placed next to the gate structure, which has both a side and a top part. An additional layer, called an epitaxial structure, is then grown over the channel. Finally, an air gap is formed within the gate spacer, sitting above the epitaxial layer and separated by the side part of the spacer.

DWDM PATH OUTAGE PREDICTION AND ALTERNATIVE PATH RECOMMENDATION

The invention focuses on predicting when communication paths using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) might fail. It involves sending out specific DWDM signals and analyzing how the network responds. This information helps create machine learning models that can forecast outages. When a potential failure is detected, the system can suggest alternative paths for communication. Overall, it aims to improve network reliability and maintain communication even during issues.
