  • Patent number: 12153418
    Abstract: A method for improving a state of a rider through optimization of operation of a vehicle includes capturing vehicle operation-related data with at least one Internet-of-things device, and analyzing the captured data with a first neural network that determines a state of the vehicle based at least in part on a portion of the captured vehicle operation-related data. The method further includes receiving data descriptive of a state of a rider occupying the operating vehicle, and using a neural network to determine at least one vehicle operating parameter that affects a state of a rider occupying the operating vehicle. The method still further includes using an artificial intelligence-based system to optimize the at least one vehicle operating parameter so that a result of the optimizing includes an improvement in the state of the rider.

  • Patent number: 12154432
    Abstract: A method for generating garage parking notifications includes receiving current parked-vehicle data indicating that a vehicle has been parked inside a garage. The current parked-vehicle data includes the current location of the vehicle parked inside the garage. The method further includes determining whether the current location of the vehicle inside the garage is within a warning zone. The warning zone is an area inside the garage where the vehicle has not been frequently parked. The warning zone area is determined using historical parked-vehicle data. The method further includes generating a notification to warn an operator of the vehicle that the vehicle should be moved in response to determining that the current location of the vehicle inside the garage is within the warning zone.

  • Patent number: 12155608
    Abstract: A ground station communicates with a satellite having a field of view (FOV), the satellite directly communicating with user equipment (UE) over uplink signals and downlink signals. The ground station has a Dynamic Time Division Duplex (DTDD) controller configured to establish UE uplink time slots during which the UE sends UE uplink signals, the UE uplink time slots based on a unique delay for the UE, whereby UE uplink signals are received at the satellite during a same satellite uplink time slot. The controller avoids overlapping uplink and downlink signals being received at the satellite, as well as at the UE.

  • Patent number: 12155871
    Abstract: A better compromise between encoding complexity and achievable rate distortion ratio, and/or to achieve a better rate distortion ratio is achieved by using multitree sub-divisioning not only in order to subdivide a continuous area, namely the sample array, into leaf regions, but using the intermediate regions also to share coding parameters among the corresponding collocated leaf blocks. By this measure, coding procedures performed in tiles—leaf regions—locally, may be associated with coding parameters individually without having to, however, explicitly transmit the whole coding parameters for each leaf region separately. Rather, similarities may effectively exploited by using the multitree subdivision.

  • Patent number: 12153328
    Abstract: An illumination system and method can provide illumination at a specified color point. A first lens can project first light, from a first light-emitting diode (LED) array of first LEDs, corresponding to a specified illumination pattern and having a first color point, onto a scene to form first illumination regions at the scene that correspond to the first LEDs. A second lens can project second light, from a second LED array of second LEDs, having a second color point, onto the scene to form second illumination regions at the scene that at least partially overlap with corresponding first illumination regions at the scene. The first illumination can combine with the second illumination at the scene to form combined illumination that corresponds to the specified illumination pattern.
