  • Publication number: 20240110811
    Abstract: Techniques are discussed for modifying map elements associated with map data. Map data can include three-dimensional data (e.g., LIDAR data) representing an environment, while map elements can be associated with the map data to identify locations and semantic information associated with an environment, such as regions that correspond to driving lanes or crosswalks. A trajectory associated with the map data can be updated, such as when aligning one or more trajectories in response to a loop closure, updated calibration, etc. The transformation between a trajectory and an updated trajectory can be applied to map elements to warp the map elements so that they correspond to the updated map data, thereby providing automatic and accurate techniques for updating map elements associated with map data.

  • Publication number: 20240110671
    Abstract: A hydrogen fuel coupling system may include a hydrogen fuel tank and a hydrogen fuel supply connector. The tank has a first connector, and a second connector disposed around the first connector. The second connector has a boil-off inlet port for receiving gaseous hydrogen from the tank. The hydrogen fuel supply connector may include a hydrogen fuel transfer line, a third connector for operably sealably connecting the transfer line to a first connector of the tank for supplying liquid hydrogen, and a shroud extending around the third connector and the transfer line defining a gap therebetween. A fourth connector operably sealably connects a first end of the shroud to a second connector of the tank. A second end of the shroud is operably sealably engageable with the transfer line. A boil-off vent is connected to the shroud for venting gas from the gap.

  • Publication number: 20240108711
    Abstract: The invention is related to multivalent immunogenic compositions comprising more than one S. pneumoniae polysaccharide protein conjugates, wherein each of the conjugates comprises a polysaccharide from an S. pneumoniae serotype conjugated to a carrier protein, wherein the serotypes of S. pneumoniae are as defined herein. Also provided are methods for inducing a protective immune response in a human patient comprising administering the multivalent immunogenic compositions of the invention to the patient. The multivalent immunogenic compositions are useful for providing protection against S. pneumoniae infection and diseases caused by S. pneumoniae. The compositions of the invention are also useful as part of treatment regimes that provide complementary protection for patients that have been vaccinated with a multivalent vaccine indicated for the prevention of pneumococcal disease.

  • Publication number: 20240099797
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved methods and apparatus for coupling a probe to an instrument device manipulator (e.g., robotic arm). In some embodiments, a probe, which may be carried by a handpiece, is configured to couple to the end of a device manipulator of a robotic arm. A transmission can be provided that is configured to couple to the probe and also couple to the instrument device manipulator. The transmission can be configured to receive motion input from the instrument device manipulator and transfer the motion input into motion of the probe. The transmission can provide improved movement of the probe. By decreasing the number of components on the handpiece and probe, the handpiece and probe can be provided as a sterile, single use consumable device and the transmission can be reused.

  • Patent number: 11924201
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose technology for verifying authorization of an application download. The system can receive from a device associated with a user, a request to download an application. In response to a first instance of the application being downloaded on the device, the system can assign a unique identifier to the first instance of the application. After the application is downloaded and prior to granting the person requesting the application download access to the first instance of the application, the system can request via the first instance of the application identification information and particular authentication information to verify that the person requesting the application download is authorized to do so. In response to verifying that the person requesting the application download is authorized, the unique identifier can be associated with the account, user and/or device to result in a verified download of the first instance of the application.

  • Patent number: 11758039
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and systems for providing selective data access to representatives. In some embodiments, the system can monitor a call between a user and a representative regarding a subject matter. The user can have an associated profile with data, and the data can be locked such that the representative cannot access the data. During the conversation between the representative and the user, the system can continuously convert both parties' speech into text. The system can determine an intent of the call based on the text and unlock a portion of the data about the user based on the determined intent of the call. Only the unlocked portion of the data is displayed to the representative.
