Abstract: In some general aspects, a surface of a structure within a chamber of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source is cleaned using a method. The method includes generating a plasma state of a material that is present at a location adjacent to a non-electrically conductive body that is within the chamber. The generation of the plasma state of the material includes electromagnetically inducing an electric current at the location adjacent the non-electrically conductive body to thereby transform the material that is adjacent the non-electrically conductive body from a first state into the plasma state. The plasma state of the material includes plasma particles, at least some of which are free radicals of the material. The method also includes enabling the plasma particles to pass over the structure surface to remove debris from the structure surface without removing the structure from the chamber of the EUV light source.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle in response to vehicle instructions from a remote computing system are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes controlling a first autonomous vehicle to provide a vehicle service, the first autonomous vehicle being associated with a first convoy that includes one or more second autonomous vehicles. The method includes receiving one or more communications from a remote computing system associated with a third-party entity, the one or more communications including one or more vehicle instructions. The method includes coordinating with the one or more second autonomous vehicles to determine one or more vehicle actions to perform in response to receiving the one or more vehicle instructions from the third-party entity. The method includes controlling the first autonomous vehicle to implement the one or more vehicle actions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes determining vehicle diagnostics information associated with a first autonomous vehicle that is part of a fleet of vehicles controlled by a first entity to provide a vehicle service to a second entity. The method includes determining remote inspection information that includes an assessment of one or more categories pertaining to a third entity, based at least in part on the vehicle diagnostics information. The method includes providing the remote inspection information to the third entity to provide the vehicle service.

Abstract: A virtual transmission line includes a charge location and a discharge location. One or more mobile batteries are charged at the charge location. The mobile batteries are transported to the discharge location. At the discharge location, the mobile batteries are connected to electric equipment. The mobile batteries are then transported back to the charge location and the cycle repeated.

Abstract: Techniques for estimating ground height based on lidar data are discussed herein. A vehicle captures lidar data as it traverses an environment. The lidar data can be associated with a voxel space as three-dimensional data. Semantic information can be determined and associated with the lidar data and/or the three-dimensional voxel space. A multi-channel input image can be determined based on the three-dimensional voxel space and input into a machine learned (ML) model. The ML model can output data to determine height data and/or classification data associated with a ground surface of the environment. The height data and/or classification data can be utilized to determine a mesh associated with the ground surface. The mesh can be used to control the vehicle and/or determine additional objects proximate the vehicle.

Abstract: A radiation shield assembly is described, configured to block radiation emanating from a radiation source from reaching a user. Two shields are supported by a support arm, and are configured to rotate and translate relative to one another about the support arm's longitudinal axis. This allows the shield to be easily configured and reconfigured as necessary to visualize various parts of a patient's body via radiography.

Abstract: A mobility scooter includes a first member having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end, and a rear wheel assembly coupled to the second end of the first member. The mobility scooter includes a seat assembly coupled to the first member, and a second member being transverse to the first member and having a first end coupled to the first end of the first member, and a second end opposite the first end of the second member. The mobility scooter further includes a steering column having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end of the steering column. The steering column is coupled to the second end of the second member. The mobility scooter includes a front wheel coupled to the second end of the steering column, and a handlebar coupled to the first end of the steering column.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for drawing blood from a user by skin puncture instead of venous puncture and storing it for analysis. The system includes a receptacle configured to engage an area of skin of the user at a blood draw location and store blood drawn from the user; a lancet device disposed within the receptacle configured to puncture the skin of the user at the blood draw location; a vacuum device configured to reduce a pressure within the receptacle such that the skin at the blood draw location is drawn into the receptacle before the lancet device punctures the skin, and to enhance blood flow while blood is drawn from the user; and a housing configured to house the receptacle, the lancet device, and the vacuum device. The receptacle, the lancet device, and the vacuum device may be modular and removably coupled with the housing.

Abstract: A hybrid cable may include a central strength member and a plurality of buffer tubes helically wrapped around the central member. Each of the plurality of buffer tubes may house at least one optical fiber, and an outer jacket may surround the plurality of buffer tubes and the central strength member. Additionally, the central strength member may include one or more carbon nanotubes capable of transmitting a power signal.

Abstract: A multiresolution voxel space is discussed herein. Data can be represented in individual levels in the multiresolution voxel space. A first level can correspond to a first region of an environment and a second level can correspond to a second region of an environment, the second region corresponding to a subset of the first region. In some examples, the levels can comprise a same number of voxels, such that the first level covers a large, low resolution region, while the second level covers a smaller, higher resolution region, though more levels are contemplated. Data represented in the voxel spaces can be processed at higher resolution where available and at a lower resolution where a data density is lower and combined in an intelligent manner. Voxel spaces can be updated based on movement of the sensor providing the data.
