  • Patent number: 11636663
    Abstract: Solutions for localizing relevant objects in multi-object images include receiving a multi-object image; detecting a plurality of detected objects within the multi-object image; generating a primary heatmap for the multi-object image, the primary heatmap having at least one region of interest; determining a relevant detected object corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap; determining an irrelevant detected object not corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap; and indicating the relevant detected object as an output result but not indicating the irrelevant detected object as an output result. Some examples identify a plurality of objects that are visually similar to the relevant object and displaying the visually similar objects to a user, for example as recommendations of alternative catalog items on an e-commerce website. Some examples are able to identify a plurality of relevant objects and display multiple sets of visually similar objects.

  • Patent number: 11635118
    Abstract: A drum brake assembly for use with a wheel end electric drive motor arrangement can generate brake dust, which may accumulate on the electric motor and cause heat retention problems that are detrimental to motor performance and longevity. These issues are addressed by providing an assembly including a support attachable to a vehicle axle element, brake shoes pivotally mountable on the support, and a wheel spindle interconnected with one end of the axle element. A wheel hub is rotatable around the spindle, and an electric motor unit is disposed between an end of the axle element and the spindle to produce rotation of the hub relative to the axle element. A brake drum is securable to the hub for rotation with the hub relative to the spindle by way of the electric motor unit. The brake drum includes a circumferential perimeter wall overlying the brake shoes, and a fan rotor is interconnected with that wall for rotation together with the drum and the wheel hub relative to the spindle.
