Patent number: 11961410Abstract: Systems and methods to measure and affect focus, engagement, and presence of users may include measuring a variety of aspects of users engaged in particular activities. Individual user characteristics or preferences and attributes of activities may be taken into account to determine levels of focus for particular users and activities. A variety of sensors may detect aspects of users engaged in activities to measure levels of focus. In addition, a variety of output devices may initiate actions to affect levels of focus of users engaged in activities. Further, a variety of processing algorithms, including machine learning models, may be trained to identify desired levels of focus, to calculate current levels of focus, and to select actions to change or boost levels of focus. In this manner, activities undertaken by users, as well as interactions between multiple users, may be made more engaging, efficient, and productive.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Shude Lin, Johan Christer Liedgren, Ana Sande do Vale Pinto da Silva, Wasiq Bokhari, Hilliard Bruce Siegel

Patent number: 11425448Abstract: An input video stream corresponding to input video content may be received over one or more networks. The input video stream may include a first image frame. An input visual feature of the first image frame may be matched to a reference visual feature of a reference image. The reference image may have a higher image quality than the first image frame. A replacement visual feature may be generated for the input visual feature. The replacement visual feature may be generated based at least in part on the reference visual feature. An enhanced image frame corresponding to the first image frame may be generated by at least replacing the input visual feature in the first image frame with the replacement visual feature. An enhanced video stream may be provided. The enhanced image frame may be a substitute for the first image frame in the enhanced video stream.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tejas Shamrao Khot, Nataliya Shapovalova, Silviu Stefan Andrei, Walterio Wolfgang Mayol Cuevas, Wasiq Bokhari

Patent number: 9494341Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly-available and fault-tolerant solar tracking system and the process required to manage such a system. A fleet of multiple, redundant mobile robots managed by a task coordinator is deployed to track solar panels in a solar farm in alignment with the sun. Each robot has a control unit for engaging with a coupler connected to one or multiple solar panels and adjusting their orientation, as well as communicating with the task coordinator to receive tasks. The task coordinator senses various events such as robot failure/deterioration, as well as various environmental conditions, and sends tasks reconciled with event types. The system is highly-available and fault-tolerant as it remains operational as long as there is one operational robot. The task coordinator assigns tasks to the mobile robots so as to optimize battery life or other factors, such as, e.g., overall maintenance costs across the fleet.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: SolarCity CorporationInventors: Salomon J.

Patent number: 8950336Abstract: Monorail vehicle that travels on a non-featured rail with substantial profile variation and controls roll attitude, lateral location, and loading through judicious placement of the vehicle's center of gravity without using springs or suspensions. The vehicle has a bogie for engaging the non-featured rail so the center of gravity has a lateral offset r1 from the rail centerline to produce a roll moment Nr determined by vehicle's mass and value of r1. The center of gravity also has a vertical offset r2. The bogie uses first and second assemblies for engaging the rail to produce a pair of surface normal reaction forces to thus control roll attitude and loading by the placement of the center of gravity, thereby enabling accurate alignment of the monorail vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: QBotix, Inc.Inventors: John S.

Publication number: 20100221453Abstract: Diamonds are used to nucleate diamond and diamond-like carbon films in a chemical vapor deposition process using bias enhancement. A negative bias is applied to the substrate, such that a cationic form of the diamond is accelerated toward the substrate during the nucleation phase of the deposition. In this manner, the diamondoid may be embedded or partially embedded in the substrate and/or growing film, increasing the adhesion of the film to the substrate. According to the present embodiments, it is not necessary to mechanically pre-seed the substrate for nucleation purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2010Publication date: September 2, 2010Applicant: Chevron U.S.A.
