  • Patent number: 11607052
    Abstract: A pillow system includes a body pillow, a torso pillow, and a slipcover that is positionable over the body pillow and torso pillow. The slipcover includes an upper portion, a lower portion, a central portion positioned between the upper portion and the lower portion, a pocket, and an elongate material band that operably connects the pocket with the central portion of the slipcover. The slipcover is designed to enclose the body pillow and the pocket is designed to enclose the torso pillow. The pocket is extendable from the slipcover to position the torso pillow distally of the body pillow and thereby enable a user to lay atop the material band with the torso pillow and body pillow positioned on opposite sides of the user's body.

  • Patent number: 11611133
    Abstract: An interconnect is disclosed that opens a battery circuit when an access cover is removed. The interconnect includes a single installed position, and does not include any throw positions to avoid ambiguity. The interconnect includes a conductive element that closes the battery circuit when the interconnect is installed. The access cover cannot be removed when the interconnect is installed, because the interconnect includes at least one mechanical feature that prevents removal of the access cover. In some instances, the interconnect is integrated into the access cover, such that when the cover is removed, the circuit is opened necessarily during removal. The interconnect interface may include blades, pins, or other electrically conducting elements. The interconnect is arranged in the battery system away from power electronics and other components that may interface to an electrical load, thus providing an added measure of safety when the access cover is off.

  • Patent number: 11607807
    Abstract: Training and/or use of a machine learning model for placement of an object secured by an end effector of a robot. A trained machine learning model can be used to process: (1) a current image, captured by a vision component of a robot, that captures an end effector securing an object; (2) a candidate end effector action that defines a candidate motion of the end effector; and (3) a target placement input that indicates a target placement location for the object. Based on the processing, a prediction can be generated that indicates likelihood of successful placement of the object in the target placement location with application of the motion defined by the candidate end effector action. At many iterations, the candidate end effector action with the highest probability is selected and control commands provided to cause the end effector to move in conformance with the corresponding end effector action.
