  • Multi-option navigation for industrial asset management
    Patent number: 12159019
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved visualization of events logged by an asset management system are provided herein. In one aspect, a priority index can be determined for respective assets based upon the events they experience. In another aspect, one or more graphical user interfaces (GUIs) can be generated by a computing device for navigation between different assets. The GUIs can allow a user to choose from multiple navigation options for display of assets and respective asset information. As an example, asset views can include views based upon one or more of an asset hierarchy within a fleet, a priority index, or a shortlist of assets based upon personal interests of a user or shared interests of a group, also referred to as a watchlist herein. The GUIs can further allow a user to view summaries of events and/or details regarding events for selected assets, such as alarms and case assignments.

  • Pulse shaping to reduce pulse history effects in pulsed lasers
    Patent number: 12160691
    Abstract: Technologies pertaining to accounting for pulse history effects are described herein. In connection with accounting for pulse history effects, an amount of time between a first current pulse and a second current pulse that are to be transmitted to a pulsed laser is determined. Based upon such an amount of time, a determination is made as to whether a porch pulse is to be prepended to the second current pulse. When the porch pulse is to be prepended to the second current pulse, an amplitude and duration of the porch pulse are computed based upon the amount of time. The porch pulse is transmitted to the pulsed laser immediately followed by the second current pulse, wherein the porch pulse pre-charges the pulsed laser for emitting a pulse of light based upon the second current pulse.

  • Peripheral seal for a flexible display device
    Patent number: 12158781
    Abstract: A foldable touch screen display device with a flexible display made up of segments that can be folded from a compact state to an expanded state which also includes a peripheral enclosure mechanism. The peripheral enclosure mechanism can be automatically repositioned to rotate out of a channel as the device is being folded in such a way that it can close the gap at the sides of the device between two flexible display segments when the device is fully configured to a folded state. The device may further include sensors to indicate the state of configuration and mechanisms for alignment, locking, and further structural support. In one embodiment, a module attached to, situated within, or otherwise associated with at least one segment of the flexible display or rigid display may contain all or substantially all processing and memory, along with a communications system, which may be used in any state.

  • V2X traffic maneuver handshaking between traffic participants
    Patent number: 12160804
    Abstract: A vehicle broadcasts a lane change intent message indicating parameters of a maneuver to be performed by the vehicle operating as a main traffic participant vehicle, the maneuver requiring use of a road resource. Response messages are received from recipient vehicles indicating approval or disapproval of performance of the maneuver. Responsive to one of the recipient vehicles returning a response message indicating conflict with use of the road resource required for performance of the maneuver, a conflict resolution procedure is performed between the main traffic participant vehicle and the conflicted recipient vehicle, the conflict resolution procedure using a pre-agreed identical conflict resolution algorithm executed on each of the main traffic participant vehicle and the conflicted recipient vehicle to each make a same distributed decision whether to proceed with the maneuver.

  • Generating model training data from a domain specification
    Patent number: 12159115
    Abstract: Examples described herein generate training data for machine learning (ML) for natural language (NL) processing (such as semantic parsing for translating NL). A formula tree is generated based on sampling both a formula grammar and NL templates. Using the formula tree, an ML training data instance pair is generated comprising a formula example and an NL example. A context example may also be used during instantiation of the formula tree. An ML model is trained with training data including the ML training data instance pair, and ML output is generated from NL input. The ML output includes, for example, a machine-interpretable formula, a database querying language command, or a general programming language instruction. Some examples support context-free grammar, probabilistic context-free grammar, and/or non-context-free production rules.
