  • Publication number: 20240140492
    Abstract: The technology employs a holistic approach to passenger pickups and other wayfinding situations. This includes identifying where passengers are relative to the vehicle and/or the pickup location. Information synthesis from different sensors, agent behavior prediction models, and real-time situational awareness are employed to identify the likelihood that the passenger to be picked up is at a given location at a particular point in time, with sufficient confidence. The system can provide adaptive navigation by helping passengers understand their distance and direction to the vehicle, for instance using various cues via an app on the person's device. Rider support tools may be provided, which enable a remote agent to interact with a customer via that person's device, such as using the camera on the device to provide wayfinding support to enable the person to find their vehicle. Ride support may also use sensor information from the vehicle when providing wayfinding support.

  • Publication number: 20240131800
    Abstract: A computing device comprising a controller is disclosed herein. The controller is to access print data of a virtual build volume including a 3D object to be generated by a 3D printer; modify the print data to include a 3D structure at a location within the build volume to encapsulate an amount of build material; receive powder degradation data corresponding to the powder degradation of the encapsulated amount of build material; and calibrate an additive manufacturing parameter based on the powder degradation data.

  • Publication number: 20240123689
    Abstract: An example system includes a simulation engine to determine a plurality of thermal states that will be experienced by powder at a voxel of a three-dimensional print volume as a result of printing a particular build. Each thermal state corresponds to a time during the printing or cooling from the printing. The system includes a stress engine to calculate a stress to the powder at the voxel based on the plurality of thermal states. The system includes a degradation engine to determine an amount of degradation of the powder at the voxel based on the stress.

  • Patent number: 7153995
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a method for flavoring an ingestible composition with a flavoring agent in organoleptically purified form, unaccompanied by substances of natural origin present in mango. The flavoring agent may be used in a wide variety of ingestible vehicles such as chewing gum compositions, hard and soft confections, dairy products, beverage products including juice drinks and juice products, green vegetable and chicken products, and the like. The present invention also pertains to an ingestible composition comprising an ingestible vehicle and an organoleptically effective amount of the purified flavoring agent. The present invention further pertains to ethyl 3-mercaptobutyrate represented by the formula, CH3(SH)CHCH2COOCH2CH3, in purified form, unaccompanied by substances of natural origin present in mango.
