Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using a surfel map to generate long range localization. One of the methods includes obtaining, for a particular location of a vehicle having a camera and a detection sensor, surfel data including a plurality of surfels. Each surfel in the surfel data has a respective location and corresponds to a different respective detected surface in an environment. Image data captured by the camera is obtained. It is determined that a region of interest for detecting objects for a vehicle planning process is outside a detectable region for the detection sensor. In response, it is determined that the image data for the region of interest matches surfel color data for the surfels corresponding to the region of interest. In response, the vehicle planning process is performed with the region of interest designated as having no unexpected objects.

Abstract: A method comprises measuring a light intensity at a window; determining if the light intensity exceeds a cloudy-day threshold; operating in a sunlight penetration limiting mode to control the motorized window treatment to control the sunlight penetration distance in the space; enabling the sunlight penetration limiting mode if the light intensity is greater than the cloudy-day threshold; and disabling the sunlight penetration limiting mode if the total lighting intensity is less than the cloudy-day threshold. The cloudy-day threshold is maintained at a constant threshold if a calculated solar elevation angle is greater than a predetermined solar elevation angle, and the cloudy-day threshold varies with time if the calculated solar elevation angle is less than the predetermined solar elevation angle. The cloudy-day threshold is a function of the calculated solar elevation angle if the calculated solar elevation angle is less than the predetermined solar elevation angle.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes at least one set of vertical field effect transistors embedded within dielectric material layers overlying a substrate. Each vertical field effect transistor includes a bottom electrode, a metal oxide semiconductor vertical transistor channel, a cylindrical gate dielectric, and a top electrode. A three-dimensional NAND memory array can be provided over the first field effect transistors, and can be electrically connected to the vertical field effect transistors via metal interconnect structures. Alternatively, a three-dimensional NAND memory array can be formed on another substrate, which can be bonded to the substrate via metal-to-metal bonding. The vertical field effect transistors can be employed as switches for bit lines, word lines, or other components of the three-dimensional NAND memory array.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for a mold system for molding structures (e.g., sand castles) from one or more various types of molding substances (e.g., sand, clay, snow). In one embodiment, a mold system comprises a split mold comprising at least two mold sections. In one embodiment, a modular mold system allows for different types of mold sections with corresponding joining elements to be joined together to create forms for molding various types of structures. In some embodiments, mold sections are configured to facilitate the breaking of a vacuum created when molding substances are packed into the mold system, thus making it easier to separate a mold from the formed structure.

Abstract: A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures is disclosed. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket couplable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.

Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to systems and method for streaming a video game at a client device. The client device may transmit video game controls to a streaming server. The client device may receive a video stream encoding video images generated in response to the video game controls from the streaming server. The client device may determine that a video image of the video stream to display in a frame has not been completely received at a designated time prior to display of the frame. The client device may determine an image transformation based on a history of the video images and motion vectors for the video stream. The client device may apply the image transformation to a portion of one or more images corresponding to previous frames. The client device may display a substitute video image in the frame including the portion of the transformed image.

Abstract: A satellite communication system that combines the benefits of Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) and Non-geostationary (NGSO) satellite systems into a GEO-NGSO hybrid satellite system. The hybrid system allows for various uses, such as, a NGSO-GEO-NGSO handoff, a GEO-NGSO-GEO handoff, and/or a multi-transport operation utilizing both the GEO and NGSO satellites. Based on the path delay differences of the GEO and NGSO satellites, the system may create a data buffer to ensure no data loss.
