  • Patent number: 11226627
    Abstract: A system for moving material from a first location to a second location includes a planning system to identify an initial spot location. A perception sensor is configured to generate perception signals indicative of whether an obstacle is in the path between a material carrying machine and the initial spot location. An alternate spot location is determined if an obstacle is in the path and a propulsion command is generated to move the material carrying machine from the current pose to the alternate spot location.

  • Patent number: 11227181
    Abstract: A key identification system is provided. The key identification system comprises an imaging system to capture an image of a master key, and a logic to analyze the captured image. The imaging system may be capture an image of a groove in the master key from an angle between perpendicular and parallel to the blade of said master key. The logic analyzes the captured image to compare characteristics of the groove with groove characteristics of known key blanks to determine the likelihood of a match between the master key and a known key blank. The key identification system may further compensate for displacement or orientation of the master key with respect to the imaging system when analyzing characteristics of the groove.

  • Patent number: 11226721
    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification generally relates to measuring the performance of facilities and generating user interfaces that present the performance. In one aspect, a method includes detecting, at a user interface of an application and based on data received from a device on which the application is executing, a first selection of a particular facility. In response to detecting the first selection, data that causes presentation of a dashboard user interface that includes a summary of information for the particular facility is provided. The summary includes a composite score for the particular facility that is computed based on multiple metrics for the particular facility and a value for each metric. In response to detecting a second selection of one or the metrics at the dashboard user interface, data that causes presentation of a second user interface that includes a detailed view of the one metric is provided.

  • Patent number: 11226985
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for management of partitioned data storage spaces is provided herein. An exemplary method includes storing sets of structured data records among partitioned data storage spaces, with data fields of the structured data records correlated among the sets by relational associations. The method includes, in a data center that receives change actions related to the structured data records, selectively placing the change actions into a plurality of change feeds, where the change feeds can be commutatively executed in parallel to implement the change actions. The method further includes implementing the change actions and propagating replication data comprising the change actions in the plurality of change feeds.

  • Patent number: 11227520
    Abstract: One example provides, on a scanning mirror display system, a method for communicating timing information for light samples that are scanned to form a displayed image. The method comprises, for a line of light samples, encoding timing information for a first light sample of the line of light samples using a first, greater number of bits to form encoded timing information for the first light sample. The method further comprises encoding timing information for a subsequent light sample of the line of light samples by computing a derivative based upon a timing of the subsequent light sample compared to a prior light sample, encoding the derivative using a second, lesser number of bits to form encoded timing information for the subsequent light sample, and sending the information for the first light sample and the subsequent light sample across the communications channel.

  • Patent number: 11227928
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a trench-gate field-effect transistor can include an active region and a termination region. The termination region can include a structure where a portion in which formation of a PN junction is prevented (e.g., a termination extension and one or more semiconductor mesas) is overlapped with a portion of the trench-FET that includes a boundary (edge, etc.) between trenches (or portions of trenches) lined with only shield (thick oxide) and trenches lined with a stepped-shield dielectric (SSO) structure (e.g., shield dielectric and gate dielectric). That boundary can be referred to an SSO edge. Prevention of PN junction formation (e.g., during a channel and/or body implant for the trench-FET), in the disclosed approaches, can be accomplished using a polysilicon layer to block formation of, e.g., a p-type layer, in a semiconductor substrate (e.g., an n-type semiconductor region, epitaxial layer, etc.).

  • Patent number: 11228638
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention for maintaining network data distribution are provided. Network data may be distributed in such as manner as to allow a network session to weather interrupted communications between host and clients without significant loss of data. Embodiments of the present invention provide for one or more clients to serve as backup host(s) for the network session. When the other clients transmit data to the host, they may also transmit the data to one or more backup hosts if there are any indications of interrupted communication.

  • Patent number: 11225819
    Abstract: A door operating system for moving a door about a vertical pivot axis between a closed position and an open position. The door operating system includes a driver including a free-ended output shaft and linkage for operably connecting the output shaft of the driver with door. An adjustable and selectively operable coupling is disposed between the free-end of the output shaft of the driver and the linkage. The adjustable coupling has a pair of coaxially spaced and adjustable interfaces. A first adjustable interface is defined between the free-end of the output shaft and the coupling while a second adjustable interface is defined between the coupling and the linkage whereby allowing for a high resolution, angular adjustment of the position of the door.

  • Patent number: 11224618
    Abstract: Topically administrable compositions and methods for treating skin conditions in mammals, such as acne, rosacea, keratosis pilaris, photo-aging, and photo-rejuvenation. The composition includes a therapeutic amount of antihistamine selected from the group consisting of a non-sedating antihistamine, a physiologically acceptable acid of a non-sedating antihistamine, a salt of a non-sedating antihistamine, an amide of a non-sedating antihistamine, and a combination of two or more of these, and emu oil product selected from the group consisting of emu oil, a biologically active fraction of emu oil, and a combination of these. The composition further includes a therapeutic amount of topical retinoid. The combination of non-sedating antihistamine and retinoid with emu oil has been found to produce a synergistic effect that is more effective in the treatment of skin conditions than the compound used separately.
