  • Publication number: 20240069161
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a lidar system includes a wavelength-tunable light source configured to emit pulses of light, each emitted pulse of light having a particular wavelength of multiple different wavelengths. The lidar system also includes a scanner configured to scan the emitted pulses of light across a field of regard of the lidar system. The scanner includes (i) a beam deflector configured to angularly deflect each emitted pulse of light along a first scan axis according to the particular wavelength of the emitted pulse of light and (ii) a scan mirror configured to scan the emitted pulses of light along a second scan axis different from the first scan axis. The lidar system further includes a receiver configured to detect a received pulse of light that includes a portion of one of the emitted pulses of light scattered by a target located a distance from the lidar system.

  • Publication number: 20230362282
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for improved interoperable data management between a user-accessed software application and an embedded software application. In some contexts, a user-accessed application provides both its own functionality as well as enabling access to functionality of an embedded application. The embedded application is accessed via a data-driven connection that provides several technical advantages and addresses various data interoperability and persistence problems. In some embodiments, a user-accessed application may be configured to provide functionality of multiple embedded applications consistent with the innovations herein described.

  • Publication number: 20230321303
    Abstract: A volatile composition dispenser including a solid article having a volatile composition and a peripheral evaporative surface. The solid article shrinks relative to the peripheral evaporative surface from an initial size to a reduced size smaller than the initial size upon exposure of the solid article to the environment in an interior space. The solid article is characterized by a shrinkage in a direction away from the peripheral evaporative surface of greater than 1% to less than 40%. A visual indicator is located proximal to the peripheral evaporative surface of the solid article. The dispenser has a first configuration in which the visual indicator is not visually perceptible, and a second configuration in which the visual indicator is visually perceptible upon shrinkage of at least a portion of the solid article from the initial size to the reduced size for indicating a state of use of the dispenser.
