  • Efficient multi-view coding using depth-map estimate and update
    Patent number: 12088778
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to coding a multi-view signal, which includes processing a list of plurality of motion vector candidates associated with a coding block of a current picture in a dependent view of the multi-view signal Such processing includes estimating a first motion vector based on a second motion vector associated with a reference block in a current picture of a reference view of the multi-view signal, the reference block corresponding to the coding block of the current picture in the dependent view. The first motion vector is added into the list, and an index is used that specifies at least one candidate from the list to be used for motion-compensated prediction. The coding block in the current picture is coded by performing the motion-compensated prediction based on the at least one candidate indicated by the index.

  • Random shift based path centering system for autonomous vehicles
    Patent number: 12085945
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosures disclose a method and a system to generate a path planning trajectory with a random lateral shift for an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). In one embodiment, a system generates a reference line to navigate the ADV from a start location to a destination location. The system determines a lateral shift distance value to shift a lane center for the reference line. The system generates a shifted trajectory using the reference line based on the lateral shift distance value. The system controls the ADV based on the shifted trajectory to navigate the ADV.

  • Archery release and related method of use
    Patent number: 12085356
    Abstract: An archery release can include a release body, one or more calipers or jaws defining a bowstring notch, the jaws pivotally joined with a release body, and a trigger moveable between a hold mode to hold a bowstring and a release mode to release the bowstring. The release can include first and second magnets that exert a magnetic repelling force on one another, thereby causing the trigger to automatically reset to the hold mode, whereby the calipers or jaws reset to a closed position, optionally without the aid of any mechanical spring or other biasing element. The first and second magnets can be offset from one another to urge the trigger to move laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of the release, and thereby open the jaws or calipers. A related method of use is provided.

  • Generic index for protobuf data
    Patent number: 12086123
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to an approach for building a generic framework to allow protocol buffer data to be fully text searchable and matched fields to be quickly identified. The approach includes converting protocol buffer data from a tree structure into a field-value pair structure. The field-value pair structure can represent any protocol buffer and any new protocol buffer definition change can be adopted automatically. The approach further includes building a reverse index at a record level, which can immediately indicate the fields for each token.
