  • Patent number: 12128929
    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling navigation of a vehicle are disclosed. The system will first identify a plurality of goal points corresponding to a drivable area that a vehicle is traversing or will traverse, where the plurality of goal points are potential targets that an uncertain road user (URU) within the drivable area can use to exit the drivable area. The system will then receive perception information relating to the URU within the drivable area, and identify a target exit point from the plurality goal points based on a score. The score is computed based on the received perception information and a loss function. The system will generate a trajectory of the URU from a current position of the URU to the target exit point, and control navigation of the vehicle to avoid collision with the URU.

  • Patent number: 12129972
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for pressurizing liquid hydrogen (LH2). The system has a pressure vessel for containing an initial quantity of LH2, with the pressure vessel containing an inlet orifice and an outlet orifice. A vaporizer is used which has an inlet and an outlet. A supply tube is used to couple the outlet orifice of the pressure vessel with the inlet of the vaporizer. A discharge tube couples the discharge outlet of the vaporizer with the inlet orifice of the pressure vessel. The vaporizer receives LH2 from the pressure vessel via the supply tube during a pressurization operation, warms the LH2 using an ambient environment, and discharges heated and pressurized H2 back to the pressure vessel through the supply tube.

  • Patent number: 12131335
    Abstract: A system for evaluating the effectiveness of an anti-counterfeiting measure employed for an item is provided. The system trains a classifier to indicate whether the anti-counterfeiting measure of an evaluation item is genuine or counterfeit. For evaluation items that have been classified as genuine or counterfeit, the system applies the classifier to determine whether the anti-counterfeiting measure of that evaluation item is genuine or counterfeit. The system then generates an effectiveness metric that indicates whether the anti-counterfeiting measure is effective based on evaluation items that are assessed as being genuine whose anti-counterfeiting measures are classified as being counterfeit.

  • Patent number: 12130426
    Abstract: A distally-actuated scanning mirror includes: a mirror block with reflective surface on one side; torsional hinges with proximal ends rigidly attached to the mirror block, and with distal ends attached to flexural structures configured to transform translational motion of the piezoelectric elements into rotational motion of the distal ends of the hinges; and piezoelectric elements providing such translational motion. The distally-actuated scanning mirror also includes flexural structures made of separate flexures attached to the opposite surfaces of the distal ends of the hinges, which flexural structures have defined thinned-down flexural points. Portions of the distally-actuated scanning mirror may be 3D printed and/or fabricated by silicon MEMS technology. The mirror is fabricated from a Silicon-on-Insulator wafer, having a relatively thick (e.g., 380 um) handle layer, and a relatively thin e.g., 50 um), where photolithography with backside-alignment allows separate patterning of these two layers.

  • Patent number: 12130298
    Abstract: In-line material analyzers may include feed guides for guiding a material through the analyzer. An actuator may be positioned and configured to contact the material proximate to the feed guides. The state of the actuator, and the force applied by the actuator to the material, may be detected. The state of the actuator, the force applied by the actuator, or both may be utilized to determine one or more properties of the material. Such a determination may be made without removing the material from a production or other manufacturing line, such as, for example, while the material remains contiguous with a source from which the material is extruded.

  • Patent number: 12132760
    Abstract: The technology described herein identifies and mitigates phishing attempts by analyzing user input received at the operating system level. Initially, a credential, such as a username or password, is registered with the threat detection system. The technology described herein intercepts user input at the operating system level, generates a hash of the input, and compares it with a hash of a credential being monitored. A credential entry is detected when a hash for the character string entered matches a hash for a credential being monitored. The technology described herein will perform a threat assessment when a secret entry is detected. The threat assessment may use the application context and the network context as inputs to the assessment. Various mitigation actions may be taken when a threat is detected.
