Patent №: 12273787 – Prioritized scheduling for UWB ranging.

A control device assigns ranging priorities to mobile devices, uses collision mappings to assess signal collision risks between device pairs, and creates a ranging schedule based on priorities and collision data. It then sends commands to execute UWB ranging procedures as scheduled.

Patent №:  12270888 – Infrastructure triggering techniques to facilitate secure ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging. In one approach, a mobile device receives UWB ranging parameters over a non-UWB radio and is triggered via a second radio to perform ranging with a UWB anchor. In another, the device obtains ranging parameters and instructions for a geographic area and performs UWB ranging with a target anchor based on that data.

Managing Director at Strong Force Catalyst.

Patent №: 12271382 – Query prediction modeling for distributed databases.

A computer-implemented method for optimizing a distributed database includes receiving query logs at an aggregator, creating a prediction model, forecasting a future query for an edge device, and sending the relevant data to the edge device ahead of time.

Patent №:  12271168 – Systems for monitoring and managing industrial settings. A system includes a backend and a sensor kit for monitoring an industrial setting. The sensor kit has an edge device and multiple sensors connected via a self-configuring network. Sensors capture data, create reporting packets using a first protocol, and send them to the edge device. The edge device forwards sensor packets to the backend over a public network. The backend processes and stores the sensor data.

Zhe Lin

Senior Principal Scientist at Adobe.

He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, in May 2009. Prior to this, he earned his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in August 2004, and his B.Eng. in Automatic Control from the University of Science and Technology of China.

Dr. Lin has been with Adobe Research since May 2009, where his research interests include computer vision, image processing, machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence.

Patent №:  12272127 – Detecting digital objects and generating object masks on device. Systems and methods generate object masks in digital images using a detection-masking neural network pipeline. Detection heads identify objects by class, applying multi-scale synchronized batch normalization. A masking head generates masks for detected objects, and post-processing filters out low-quality results.

Patent №:  12271983 – Generating unified embeddings from multi-modal canvas inputs for image retrieval. Systems and methods enable related image search and modification via a unified interface. A digital image and search input—potentially multi-modal (image + text)—are processed to retrieve results using a weighted query or input embedding. Retrieved results can be used to modify the original image.

Patent №:  12271804 – Wire segmentation for images using machine learning. Embodiments perform wire segmentation in images using machine learning. A first neural network generates a global probability map to identify wire-like regions. For each region, it combines the region with the global map and uses a second neural network to create a local probability map. Local maps are then aggregated for final wire detection.

LG Electronics Senior Researcher.

Patent №:  12273285 – LTF compressed transmission.

In a wireless LAN system, a station (STA) generates long training field (LTF) symbols for multiple streams (e.g., first to fourth), each using different LTF sequences. These sequences may be multiplied by the same element from a P matrix. The STA then transmits a PHY protocol data unit (PPDU) containing the LTF symbols.
