Abstract: A system uses neural networks to determine intents of traffic entities (e.g., pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles) in an environment surrounding a vehicle (e.g., an autonomous vehicle) and generates commands to control the vehicle based on the determined intents. The system receives images of the environment captured by sensors on the vehicle, and processes the images using neural network models to determine overall intents or predicted actions of the one or more traffic entities within the images. The system generates commands to control the vehicle based on the determined overall intents of the traffic entities.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems are methods for identifying the composition of single aerosol particles, particularly that of bioaerosol particles. A continuous timing laser tightly coupled with a pulse ionization laser is used to index aerosol particles, measure particle properties, and trigger the ionization laser to fire when each particle enters the beam of the trigger laser. Ionized fragments and optionally photons produced when each particle is struck by the ionization laser are analyzed using one or more detectors including a TOF-MS detector and an optical detector. Individual single particle spectra are aligned and denoised prior to averaging.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems are methods for identifying the composition of single aerosol particles, particularly that of bioaerosol particles, without pre-treatment using complex organic MALDI matrices. A continuous timing laser may be used to index aerosol particles, measure particle properties, and trigger a pulse ionization laser. Ionized fragments and optionally photons associated with each particle producing by the ionization laser may be analyzed using one or more detectors including a TOF-MS detector and an optical detector. The laser pulse may comprise a simultaneous IR and UV laser pulse when fragments comprise predominantly of UV chromophores. Unique spectral data associated with each indexed particle from each detector may be compiled using data fusion to generate compiled spectral data. Machine learning methods may be used to improve the prediction of composition over time.

Abstract: An endoscope comprises a handle and a shaft with an optical housing at the distal end of the shaft enclosing a camera sensor positioned so that its optical axis is at an angle with respect to a rotational axis of the shaft. The camera sensor is rotatable with the shaft relative to a proximal housing of the handle. A rotation sensor in the handle detects the rotational angle of the camera sensor with respect to the proximal housing. A processor can correct the angular orientation of an image from the image sensor, converting of a rotating variable field of view to a translating variable field of view. A processor can apply variable smoothing of the rotation of the displayed image so that smoothing during rotational deceleration is greater than smoothing during rotational acceleration. The shaft may be enclosed in a trocar that allows for a space between the shaft and trocar that can be used to carry irrigation fluid to or from a space at the end of the shaft.

Abstract: A crane includes a control interface to receive an operating instruction defining a target position, and a controller to determine movements of crane components and to generate driving instructions to be applied to a system of hydraulic actuators.

Abstract: In a first output mode, a signal in which a data pulse having a positive polarity voltage value appears in a predetermined cycle is output as a positive polarity gradation data signal, and a signal in which a data pulse having a negative polarity voltage value appears in the predetermined cycle with a phase different from the positive polarity gradation data signal is output as a negative polarity gradation data signal. In a second output mode, the above positive polarity gradation data signal is generated, and a signal in which a data pulse having a negative polarity voltage value appears in the predetermined cycle with the same phase as the positive polarity gradation data signal is output as the negative polarity gradation data signal. The first and second output modes are alternatively executed, and the output mode is switched within a predetermined period at intervals of the predetermined period.
