COOKING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

A cooking device has a special chamber that holds food and water in a container. It uses a thermal imaging sensor to take pictures of the container's temperature. A heating element warms the food, while a fan helps release steam to keep the temperature steady. The device can tell if there isn't enough water in the container and will alert the user to add more. This helps ensure that the food cooks properly without running out of water.

SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING REAL-TIME FACIAL TRANSFORMATION SERVICE BASED ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL HOLOGRAM USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

A system allows for real-time face transformations using 3D holograms and artificial intelligence. It includes a device that captures images of a person's face and displays the transformed version as a hologram. The process starts by receiving the captured images and detecting the face within them. Then, it animates the detected face to create augmented reality content. Finally, this content is converted into a 3D hologram and shown on the hologram device.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)-BASED CUSTOMIZED STORYTELLING VIDEO GENERATION SYSTEM

A system uses artificial intelligence to create personalized storytelling videos. It has different AI agents that work together, including one that designs the story, another that generates the storyboard, and one that creates the video. Users provide a text prompt and a reference video, which the system uses to craft a multi-shot video that tells a specific story. The agents ensure that characters look consistent throughout the video by following a careful process. Overall, this system produces high-quality videos that can be customized to fit the user's needs.

Continuous Direct Air Capture and Electrochemical Conversion of CO2 and H2O into Ethylene and Oxygen in Solid Electrolyte Reactor

A new technology captures carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) directly from the air. It uses a special electrochemical cell to turn these gases into ethylene, a useful chemical, and oxygen. This process requires very little energy, operating at just 0.6 volts and 1 amp of current. In one hour, it can produce about 70 milligrams of ethylene with around 80% energy efficiency. The system works effectively at lower temperatures, making it a promising solution for addressing climate change.

Anti-MUC16 Antibodies, Antibody-Drug Conjugates, and Bispecific Antigen-Binding Molecules that Bind MUC16 and CD3, and Uses Thereof

MUC16 is a protein found in high amounts in ovarian cancer cells, helping these tumors evade the immune system. New antibodies have been created that specifically target MUC16, which can help the immune system recognize and attack these cancer cells. Some of these antibodies can also bind to another protein called CD3, which activates T cells to fight the cancer when MUC16 is present. These special antibodies can slow down tumor growth and may be helpful in treating various cancers, especially ovarian cancer. Additionally, these antibodies can be used in tests to detect MUC16 in blood or tissue samples.

MULTI-HEAD ADAPTIVE CONTROLLER WITH SHARED PARAMETERS

A new technology helps improve wireless communication by using a special controller that works with two tasks: digital pre-distortion (DPD) and self-interference cancellation (SIC). It starts by creating a common input for a neural network that helps model both DPD and SIC. The neural network then produces two outputs: one that shows how to correct the power amplifier's performance and another that helps manage the transceiver's signal. These outputs are used to enhance the quality of wireless communication with other devices. Overall, this method aims to make wireless signals clearer and more reliable.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSISTING A CONSUMER WITH SERVICE ENROLLMENT VIA AN AI-ASSISTED REASONING ENGINE

A conversational AI agent helps people enroll in U.S. healthcare plans more easily and quickly. It interacts with users through a web app or mobile platform, asking personalized questions about their healthcare needs and eligibility. Based on the answers, the AI guides them through the healthcare marketplace and helps choose the best insurance policy. It also simplifies coverage documents and can finalize the policy without needing a live agent, unless there are complicated issues. This system aims to save time, improve understanding, and reduce the risk of fraud, and it is approved for secure policy submissions.
