  • Patent number: 11944130
    Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.

  • Patent number: 11574089
    Abstract: A vehicle can capture data that can be converted into a synthetic scenario for use in a simulator. Objects can be identified in the data and attributes associated with the objects can be determined. The data can be used to generate a synthetic scenario of a simulated environment. The scenarios can include simulated objects that traverse the simulated environment and perform actions based on the attributes associated with the objects, the captured data, and/or interactions within the simulated environment. In some instances, the simulated objects can be filtered from the scenario based on attributes associated with the simulated objects and can be instantiated and/or destroyed based on triggers within the simulated environment. The scenarios can be used for testing and validating interactions and responses of a vehicle controller within the simulated environment.

  • Patent number: 11526721
    Abstract: A vehicle can capture data that can be converted into a synthetic scenario for use in a simulator. Objects can be identified in the data and attribute data associated with the objects can be determined. Updated attribute data may be determined based on confidence values and/or distance measurements associated with the attribute data. The object and attribute data may be used to generate synthetic scenarios of a simulated environment, including simulated objects that traverse the environment and perform actions based on the attribute data associated with the simulated objects, the captured data, and/or interactions within the simulated environment. The scenarios can be used for testing and validating interactions and responses of a vehicle controller within the simulated environment.

  • Patent number: 11150660
    Abstract: A vehicle can capture data for use in a simulator. Objects represented in the vehicle data can be instantiated in simulation and move according to object models/controllers. A user can tune how closely simulated motion of the object corresponds to the previously recorded data based on simulation costs. The scenarios can be used for testing and validating interactions and responses of a vehicle controller within a simulated environment. The scenarios can include simulated objects that traverse the simulated environment and perform actions based on the captured data and/or interactions within the simulated environment. Objects observed by the vehicle can be disregarded from simulation based on one or more filters. A user can override, augment, or otherwise modify simulations instantiated based on the one or more filters and captured data.

  • Publication number: 20160286410
    Abstract: Techniques for performing managing and prioritizing a plurality of cell-to-base station connections and handovers of a user equipment (UE) are described. The UE may receive a handover command to perform handover from a source base station to a target base station. The source base station may send and receive context information for the UE to the target base station, and the context information may be available to all cells of the target base station. The UE may attempt simultaneously maintain more than one source or primary cells, i.e. a first primary cell and a second primary cell; more than one target or secondary cell, i.e. a first secondary cell and second secondary cell, where handovers may occur between the cells per a list of criteria.

  • Publication number: 20150053411
    Abstract: A system and method for channeling fluids from underwater to the surface. Including a channel system for channeling the fluids from an oil leak through the channel system starting from an underwater pipe leak to a containment reservoir at a sea surface. In one aspect, the channel system is made up of interchange parts, where some are flexible, attachable, and/or can influence the flow of the fluids inside the channel system.

  • Patent number: 8224816
    Abstract: A system and a method of segmenting information, is provided. A topic list is displayed. A user selects a topic from the topic list, including a question indicative of the topic. The user is also provided with a pre-generated compounded statement, upon selecting, a correlated content is displayed. The question includes a plurality of response forms. The user selects a response form and a correlated content to the response form is displayed. The correlated content may be modified by the user by selecting a filter of a plurality of filters. An option to remove the question, and/or switch the question is provided. A priority is provided, allowing the user to display the correlated content in a specific sequence. An opposite correlated content is provided, that is opposite to the correlated content. A public content is provided that is indicative of what is popular among the public.
