  • Publication number: 20240091545
    Abstract: Wearable devices are provided herein including wearable defibrillators, wearable devices for diagnosing symptoms associated with sleep apnea, and wearable devices for diagnosing symptoms associated with heart failure. The wearable external defibrillators can include a plurality of ECG sensing electrodes and a first defibrillator electrode pad and a second defibrillator electrode pad. The ECG sensing electrodes and the defibrillator electrode pads are configured for long term wear. Methods are also provided for using the wearable external defibrillators to analyze cardiac signals of the wearer and to provide an electrical shock if a treatable arrhythmia is detected. Methods are also disclosed for refurbishing wearable defibrillators. Methods of using wearable devices for diagnosing symptoms associated with sleep apnea and for diagnosing symptoms associated with heart failure are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11747147
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to visualization of maps used for autonomous vehicle applications. These maps include many layers of dense information. Each layer can be stored in a vector format and small portions, called tiles, of a map can be requested by a users web browser. The web browser can filter for desired layers and render all desired map layers at once to provide visualization of map and layers of interest.

  • Publication number: 20230202481
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for predicting yield behaviors of objects (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) at a location. An autonomous vehicle located at a first road segment connecting to an intersection having a stop sign can detect a first vehicle approaching the intersection from a second road segment connecting to the intersection. Using a model indicating an average yield location and yield time where both are specific to the second road segment connecting to the intersection, the autonomous vehicle can predict that the first vehicle will yield at the average yield location that is specific to the second road segment.

  • Publication number: 20230205217
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for mapping historical information about behaviors of objects (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) at a location. Based on the mapped historical information, a prediction is determined about a behavior of an object proximate to an autonomous vehicle at the location, where the prediction is based on a statistical analysis of the historical information that is applied to the object. One or more behaviors of the AV are affected based on the prediction.

  • Publication number: 20230071224
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for predicting behaviors of objects (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) at a location. A model descriptive of a possible object behavior can be received by an autonomous vehicle, where the model provides conditional predictions about a future behavior of an object based on a position of the object in a lane. The autonomous vehicle can detect the position of a specific object in the lane, and the model can then be applied to determine probabilities of a future behavior of the specific object.
