Abstract: A device includes a plurality of support elements pivotably attached to a base. The support elements are pivotably attached to support arms. The support arms support a platform configured to hold a vehicle. The device is capable of moving between stacked and unstacked configurations, where the platform is elevated above a ground-level parking space when the device is in a stacked configuration and the platform is positioned behind or beside a ground-level parking space when the device is in an unstacked configuration. When changing between a stacked configuration and an unstacked configuration, the support elements and the support arms pivot such that the platform does not contact any vehicle parked underneath the platform.

Abstract: Drinking straws for aerating fluids are described. A straw includes a body and a cover. The body defines a flow space and an aeration area. The cover includes an aeration opening and a movable barrier. The cover encloses the body and the movable barrier can move between a first position occluding the aeration area and a second position exposing a portion of the aeration area. The straw body and the straw cover, when in the second position, enable air flow through the exposed portion of the aeration area so as to aerate fluid flowing through the flow space. The straw body and the straw cover dampen sound created by the aeration of the fluid when in the second position. The movable barrier may be a plug or a slider.

Abstract: A method and device for measuring intra-abdominal pressure in a pregnant woman to assess likelihood or occurrence of pre-eclampsia. The method includes providing a catheter having first and second lumens and a balloon, inserting the catheter into a bladder of the patient, injecting gas into the first lumen of the catheter to expand the balloon, obtaining a first pressure reading of the bladder based on deformation of the balloon to thereby monitor pressure within an abdomen of the mother to assess if pre-eclampsia is occurring or likely to occur and transmitting the first pressure reading to an external monitor connected to the catheter. The pressure reading is indicative of the presence and/or risk of pre-eclampsia to determine when intervention should occur to prevent morbidity and mortality of the woman and baby.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a first vehicle autonomously are disclosed. For instance, one or more processors may plan to maneuver the first vehicle to complete an action and predict that a second vehicle will take a particular responsive action. The first vehicle is then maneuvered towards completing the action in a way that would allow the first vehicle to cancel completing the action without causing a collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle, and in order to indicate to the second vehicle or a driver of the second vehicle that the first vehicle is attempting to complete the action. Thereafter, when the first vehicle is determined to be able to take the action, the action is completed by controlling the first vehicle autonomously according to whether the second vehicle begins to take the particular responsive action.

Abstract: A mobile system and method of calibrating an ADAS sensor of a vehicle by aligning a target with the sensor, where a transport vehicle is equipped with a target adjustment stand for transporting to the vehicle, which is initially nominally positioned in front of the target adjustment stand that includes a movable target mount configured to support a target, with the target adjustment stand including one or more actuators for adjusting the position of the target mount. A computer system is used to determine an orientation of the vehicle relative to the target adjustment stand, with the position of the target mount being adjusted based on the determined orientation of the vehicle relative to the target adjustment stand. Upon properly orienting the target mount, and the target supported thereon, a calibration routine is performed whereby the sensor is calibrated using the target.

Abstract: A waveguide display includes multiple diffractive optical elements (DOEs) that are configured to in-couple image light, provide expanded exit pupil in two directions, and out-couple the image light to a user. An in-coupling DOE is configured to split the full field of view (FOV) of the image light into left and right portions. The left and right FOV portions are respectively propagated laterally in left and right directions in intermediate DOEs which comprise upper and lower portions. The intermediate DOEs provide for exit pupil expansion in a horizontal direction while coupling light to an out-coupling DOE. The out-coupling DOE provides for exit pupil expansion in a vertical direction and out-couples image light with expanded exit pupil for the full FOV. The intermediate DOE portions are configured to steer image light back towards the center of the waveguide to avoid dark areas or stripes in portions of the out-coupling DOE.

The method further includes analyzing, by an artificial intelligence model, the behavior of the first player to determine whether the behavior is abusive. The operation of analyzing whether the behavior of the first player is abusive is performed to determine whether the characterization of the first player is accurate.

Abstract: An apparatus for communication in a wireless communication network comprises a coder that encodes a set of data symbols to produce a set of coded symbols; a modulator that modulates the coded symbols onto a set of subcarrier frequencies to generate a time-domain signal comprising a sum of a set of modulated pulse waveforms; and a transmitter configured for transmitting the time-domain signal in the wireless communication network. The coder employs a matrix of spreading codes, wherein each column of the matrix multiplies a different one of the data symbols, which causes the modulator to produce a corresponding one of the set of modulated pulse waveforms. Each column of the matrix of spreading codes comprises a set of linearly increasing phases, which provides a time offset to the corresponding modulated pulse waveforms.
