Publication number: 20240109560Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to cruise control for a vehicle. In one approach, speed for a first vehicle is controlled in a first mode using data from sensors. The speed is controlled while keeping at least a minimum distance from a second vehicle being followed by the first vehicle. In response to determining that data from the sensors is not usable to control the first vehicle (e.g., the data cannot be used to measure the minimum distance), the first vehicle changes from the first mode to a second mode. In the second mode, the first vehicle maintains a constant speed and/or obtains additional data from sensors and/or computing devices located externally to the first vehicle. In another approach, the additional data can additionally or alternatively be obtained from a mobile device of a passenger of the first vehicle. The additional data is used to maintain a safe minimum distance from the second vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Amy Rae Griffin, Xiao Li, Maria Pat F. Chavarria, Alpha Chavez Labiano

Patent number: 11739156Abstract: The present invention discloses novel methods, compositions, and uses thereof for removing or overcoming immunosuppression. More specifically, the methods and compositions disclosed herein target effector Treg cells by modulating ST2 and/or IL-33 signaling using pharmaceutical inhibitors and/or genetic ablation, whereby the levels and/or activities of effector Treg cells in a tumor microenvironment are inhibited, and the infiltration of effector CD8+ cytotoxic T cells into tumor microenvironment increases. As a result, tumor growth is inhibited and tumor volume is reduced. The present invention also provides methods for identifying and isolating effector Treg cells in a population of heterogeneous cells.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: The Broad Institute, Inc. Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Amy Li, Rebecca H. Herbst, Aviv Regev, Tyler Jacks, David Canner

Patent number: 11656688Abstract: A system for provisioning information to a user comprises a first display for displaying information for an application executing on an information handling system and a second display with a first zone for displaying information associated with the application and a second zone for displaying information associated with the information handling system. A biometric sensor determines which display the user is viewing. If the user is viewing the first display, eye tracking software determines actions based on the application. If the user is viewing the second display, eye tracking software determines if the user is viewing the first zone or the second zone. If the user is viewing the first zone, advanced or additional information associated with the application is displayed. If the user is viewing the second zone, advanced or additional information associated with the information handling system is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Amy Li Tam, Terry Lane Matula, Deeder M.
