Abstract: A litter lift system includes a winch system and a lifting strap. The winch system includes a rotatable spool. The lifting strap has a first end, a second end, and an intermediate segment extending away from the lifting strap between the first end and the second end. The first end is coupled to the rotatable spool such that rotation of the spool in a first direction winds the lifting strap about the spool and rotation of the spool in a second direction unwinds the lifting strap from the spool. The second end defines a first lifting segment and the intermediate segment defines a second lifting segment. The first lifting segment and the second lifting segment are each forked to define two separate lifting loops.

Abstract: A display device includes a waveguide assembly comprising a waveguide configured to outcouple light out of a major surface of the waveguide to form an image in the eyes of a user. An adaptive lens assembly has a major surface facing the output surface and a waveplate lens and a switchable waveplate assembly. The switchable waveplate assembly includes quarter-wave plates on opposing sides of a switchable liquid crystal layer, and electrodes on the quarter-wave plates in the volume between the quarter-wave plates.

Abstract: A method of detecting and tracking a trailer. The computer-implemented method, when executed by data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations. The operations include initiating, using a detection application, a beacon scan and detecting a signal attribute and a serial number for a plurality of beacons. The operations also include recording the signal attribute and the serial number for each of the plurality of beacons and determining, based on a proximity of a respective beacon to a user device within a predetermined time interval, that the respective beacon is communicatively connected to the detection application. The operations further include sending, in response to determining that the respective beacon is communicatively connected, a connection signal from the detection application to one of data storage of the detection application and the respective beacon.

Abstract: A vehicle computing system may identify an obstruction along a route of travel and may connect to a service computing device for guidance. The service computing device may include a guidance system configured to receive waypoint and/or orientation input from an operator. The operator may evaluate the scenario and determine one or more waypoints and/or associated orientations for the vehicle to navigate the scenario. In some examples, the guidance system may validate the waypoint(s) and/or associated orientation(s). The service computing device may send the waypoint(s) and/or associated orientation(s) to the vehicle computing system. The vehicle computing system may validate the waypoint(s) and/or associated orientation(s) and, based on the validation, control the vehicle according to the input. Based on a determination that the vehicle has navigated the scenario, the guidance system may release vehicle guidance back to the vehicle computing system.

Abstract: In examples, a notification is presented to a user of a computing device (e.g., based on identifying a trigger associated with a current context or as a result of receiving a push notification). The notification includes notification content and a dismiss user interface (UI) control, which indicates a status of an auto-dismiss timer associated with the notification. If user interaction associated with the notification is identified, the auto-dismiss timer may be paused. The user may actuate the notification to perform an associated action or may actuate the dismiss UI control to manually dismiss the notification (e.g., prior to expiration of the auto-dismiss timer). The notification may further include a snooze UI control, which, when actuated, may snooze the notification and/or future notifications. Thus, such aspects may offer an improved and consistent user experience for notifications associated with an application, a group of applications, or an operating system, among other examples.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an animated notification indicator, which may be used to provide an indication of a notification. The animated notification indicator may be less distracting than displaying the notification itself, while, compared to a static indicator, the animated notification indicator may have a higher likelihood of catching the user's attention. The indicator may be animated for a predetermined amount of time, after which it may transition to a static indicator. Interaction with the indicator may display an associated notification, perform an associated action, or present a notification preview and/or set of quick actions, among other examples. In some instances, a context associated with the user's computing device may be processed by a notification platform, and the notification may thus be determined remotely. As a result, the animated notification indicator may be presented at the user's computing device as a result of such a remote determination.
