  • Patent number: 11154765
    Abstract: A ski binding release system includes a spring that is releasably maintained in a first state using a pyrotechnic fastener. In the first state, a ski boot is secured in the ski binding. The pyrotechnic fastener is electrically coupled to an activation circuit. The activation circuit includes a battery, a plurality of sensors, a switch, and a controller. When the controller determines that the skier has fallen, the controller generates an output signal that transitions the switch from a disconnected state to a connected state. In the disconnected state, the pyrotechnic fastener is electrically disconnected from the battery. In the connected state, the pyrotechnic fastener is electrically connected to the battery. Electrical energy from the battery causes the pyrotechnical fastener to explode to transition the spring from the first state to a second state to release the ski boot from the ski binding.

  • Patent number: 11158128
    Abstract: A system and method may provide for spatial and semantic auto-completion of an augmented or mixed reality environment. The system may detect physical objects in a physical environment based on analysis of image frames captured by an image sensor of a computing device. The system may detect spaces in the physical environment that are occupied by the detected physical objects, and may detect spaces that are unoccupied in the physical environment. Based on the identification of the detected physical objects, the system may gain a semantic understanding of the physical environment, and may determine suggested objects for placement in the physical environment based on the semantic understanding. The system may place virtual representations of the suggested objects in a mixed reality scene of the physical environment for user consideration.

  • Patent number: 11157378
    Abstract: Error injection techniques involve, while a data storage system is in an error injection mode, injecting information representing an error of a storage device array into a first switch, such that the information representing the error is passed from a first downstream port of the first switch to a computing device through a second switch, the first and second switches being connected to the storage device array via downstream ports, and the first downstream port being connected to a second downstream port of the second switch; and determining error handling capability of the data storage system by obtaining a handling result of the information representing the error from the computing device. Accordingly, errors from storage devices can be simulated to facilitate detecting error handling in the entire I/O path comprehensively.

  • Patent number: 11157169
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to transitioning a computing device between operating modes according to whether the computing device is suitably oriented for received non-audio related gestures. For instance, the user can attach a portable computing device to a docking station of a vehicle and, while in transit, wave their hand near the portable computing device in order to invoke the automated assistant. Such action by the user can be detected by a proximity sensor and/or any other device capable of determining a context of the portable computing device and/or an interest of the user in invoking the automated assistant. In some implementations location, orientation, and/or motion of the portable computing device can be detected and used in combination with an output of the proximity sensor to determine whether to invoke the automated assistant in response to an input gesture from the user.

  • Patent number: 11154008
    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for operating an agricultural harvester may include a sensor assembly configured to detect a parameter indicative of an operating line of the harvester. The system may also include a controller configured to monitor the operating line of the harvester based on measurement signals received from the sensor assembly when the harvester is operated in a first operating mode. The controller may also be configured to determine a differential between the operating line and a predetermined guidance line of the harvester. Furthermore, the controller may be configured to update a stored correction value based on the determined differential. Additionally, when the harvester is switched from the first operating mode to a second operating mode, the controller may be configured to adjust a location of the predetermined guidance line based on the stored correction value.

  • Patent number: 11154425
    Abstract: Some embodiments disclosed here provide for a method fragmenting a cataractous lens of a patient's eye using an ultra-short pulsed laser. The method can include determining, within a lens of a patient's eye, a high NA zone where a cone angle of a laser beam with a high numerical aperture is not shadowed by the iris, and a low NA zone radially closer to the iris where the cone angle of the laser beam with a low numerical aperture is not shadowed by the iris. Laser lens fragmentation is accomplished by delivering the laser beam with the high numerical aperture to the high NA zone, and the laser beam with the low numerical aperture to the low NA zone. This can result in a more effective fragmentation of a nucleus of the lens without exposing the retina to radiation above safety standards.
