Abstract: An emergency ventilation system ventilates a patient and includes a chamber housing defining a breathing chamber; a piston; and a motor operably connected to the piston. The motor applies an exhalation force to move the piston in an exhalation direction applies an inhalation force to move the piston in an inhalation direction. The piston increases air in the breathing chamber as the exhalation force is applied and decreases air in the breathing chamber as the inhalation force is applied. An exhalation check valve allows airflow from the air source to the breathing chamber and not to allow airflow from the breathing chamber to the air source as the inhalation force is applied. An inhalation check valve allows airflow from the breathing chamber to the air output and not to allow airflow from the air output to the breathing chamber as the exhalation force is applied.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using a surfel map to generate long range localization. One of the methods includes obtaining, for a particular location of a vehicle having a camera and a detection sensor, surfel data including a plurality of surfels. Each surfel in the surfel data has a respective location and corresponds to a different respective detected surface in an environment. Image data captured by the camera is obtained. It is determined that a region of interest for detecting objects for a vehicle planning process is outside a detectable region for the detection sensor. In response, it is determined that the image data for the region of interest matches surfel color data for the surfels corresponding to the region of interest. In response, the vehicle planning process is performed with the region of interest designated as having no unexpected objects.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and software for implementing dual Bayesian encoding-decoding for text-to-code transformations. In one aspect, a multi-model probabilistic source code model employing dual Bayesian encoder-decoder models is used to convert natural language (NL) inputs (aka requests) into source code. An NL input is processed to generate a Probabilistic Distribution (PD) of Source code (SC) tokens in an SC token sequence and a PD of Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) tokens in an AST token sequence, wherein each SC token is associated with a respective AST token, and each of the SC and AST tokens have a respective PD. One or more fixing rules are applied to one or more tokens SC tokens that are identified as needing fixing, wherein the fixing rule are selected in consideration of the PDs of the SC tokens and the PDs of their associated AST tokens.
