  • Patent number: 11758347
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include capturing, via a headset microphone of a speaker's artificial reality device, voice input of a speaker in communication with a listener in an artificial reality environment. The method may include detecting a pose of the speaker within the artificial reality environment and determining a position of the speaker relative to a position of the listener within the artificial reality environment. The method may further include processing, based on the pose and the relative position of the speaker within the artificial reality environment, the voice input to create a directivity-attuned voice signal for the listener, and delivering the directivity-attuned voice signal to an artificial reality device of the listener. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11738772
    Abstract: Techniques for determining a speed for a vehicle as it traverses an environment with pedestrians are discussed herein. For example, a vehicle computing system may implement techniques to determine an action for a vehicle to take based on a detected pedestrian in an environment. The vehicle computing system may receive sensor data of an environment from a sensor associated with a vehicle, determine, based at least in part on the sensor data, an object in the environment and receive a predicted object trajectory associated with the object. The vehicle computing system may then determine, based on the predicted object trajectory, a distance between a simulated vehicle passing location and a predicted object location, determine, based on the distance, a speed, determine, based on the distance and the speed, a trajectory for the vehicle to follow, and control the vehicle based on the trajectory.

  • Patent number: 11720585
    Abstract: In connection with processing asynchronous streams of aircraft telemetry data, data processing logic is developed to run on multiple aircraft, even if the aircraft use different avionics equipment. An electronic data inventory system tracks data available on a set of aircraft. A set of “global” data elements applicable to aircraft in a fleet is defined and tracked in the electronic inventory system, along with the relationship to the underlying native data elements and specific aircraft. The global units are derived as appropriate, for each specific aircraft's avionics and/or sensor environment. An interface enables definition of data processing logic that is integrated with the electronic inventory system and ensures the general validity of the defined logic. The data processing logic may be deployed to one or more aircraft in a function integrated with the electronic inventory system, to ensure the validity of the data processing logic for each aircraft specified as a deployment target.

  • Patent number: 11709490
    Abstract: As an example, data identifying characteristics of a road user as well as contextual information about the vehicle's environment is received from the vehicle's perception system. A prediction of the intent of the object including an action of a predetermined list of actions to be initiated by the road user and a point in time for initiation of the action is generated using the data. A prediction of the behavior of the road user for a predetermined period of time into the future indicating that the road user is not going to initiate the action during the predetermined period of time is generated using the data. When the prediction of the behavior indicates that the road user is not going to initiate the action during the predetermined period of time, the vehicle is maneuvered according to the prediction of the intent prior to the vehicle passing the object.

  • Patent number: 11693113
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a system and method for producing ultrasound images based on Full Waveform Inversion (FWI). The system captures acoustic/(an)elastic waves transmitted through and reflected and/or diffracted from a medium. The system performs an FWI process in a time domain in conjunction with an accurate wave propagation solver. The system produces 3D maps of physical parameters that control wave propagation, such as shear and compressional wavespeeds, mass density, attenuation, Poisson's ratio, bulk and shear moduli, impedance, and even the fourth-order elastic tensor containing up to 21 independent parameters, which are of significant diagnostic value, e.g., for medical imaging and non-destructive testing.
