  • Patent number: 11284715
    Abstract: A portable, convertible, and modular lap desk for use with various types of electronic devices. In some cases, the lap desk may be configured with extendible legs to provide a plurality of adjustable height positions. For instance, the legs may include a closed position, a partially extended position, and a fully extended position for use in different situations. The lap desk may also include on board power supplies, various compartments for storing the electronic devices and on boarding cabling and cable routing to more efficiently organize and couple multiple devices.

  • Patent number: 10841776
    Abstract: Techniques for updating data operations in a perception system are discussed herein. A vehicle may use a perception system to capture data about an environment proximate to the vehicle. The perception system may receive image data, lidar data, and/or radar data to determine information about an object in the environment. As different sensors may be associated with different time periods for capturing and/or processing operations, the techniques include updating object data with data from sensors associated with a shorter time period to generate intermediate object data. Such intermediate object data may reduce a delay in updating a position of an object in an environment, which may improve reaction time(s) and/or safety outcomes in systems implementing such perception systems, such as an autonomous vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10820567
    Abstract: A portable and disposable litter box includes a bottom tray, a top tray, and an insert. The insert includes insert sidewalls that are attached to the bottom tray. The litter box is configurable in open and closed states. In the closed state, the top tray is disposed on the bottom tray and a litter box cavity is defined between the bottom and top trays, and the insert sidewalls are pivoted inwardly such that the insert sidewalls are disposed in the litter box cavity. In the opened state, the top tray is pivoted away from the bottom tray, and the insert sidewalls are pivoted outwardly such that the insert sidewalls extend from the bottom tray to the top tray.
