Publication number: 20240182045Abstract: A vehicle system is provided for correcting in real-time a camera-based estimated position of a road object. The system includes a camera for generating an image input signal including image sensor data associated with the road object. The system further includes one or more input devices for generating a vehicle input signal including vehicle sensor data associated with a position, a speed, and a heading of the vehicle. The system further includes a computer, which includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) storing instructions. The processor is programmed to match the image sensor data and the vehicle sensor data to one another based on a common time of collection.

Publication number: 20240054224Abstract: A verification operating system (VOS) is an intermediary operating system that verifies data of a primary operating system before the primary operating system controls of the computing device. When the computing device is initialized, initial boot processes load the VOS instead of the primary operating system. The VOS performs verification processes on data storing the primary operating system to verify that the primary operating system has not been manipulated or corrupted before passing control of the computing device to the primary operating system. A VOS also may be used to verify an operating system used by a virtual machine (VM). The VOS verifies data storing a VM operating system to be used for requested VMs. If the VOS verifies that the VM OS data is accurate, the VOS provides the VM OS data to a hypervisor for use in a VM.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Brian A. Jensen, Stewart P. MacLeod, Robert Pike

Publication number: 20240036749Abstract: A device receives, by way of a policy enforcement application, based on input by a user, a request to generate a resource. Responsively, the device generates a user interface comprising a plurality of blueprints for creating the resource by generating a set of signals by extracting data from a profile of the user, inputting the set of signals into a supervised machine learning model, and receiving, as output from the supervised machine learning model, a probability for each given blueprint of the plurality of blueprints that the user will access the given blueprint. The device assigns ranks to each given blueprint of the plurality of blueprints based on their corresponding probabilities and orders the plurality of blueprints based on the ranks. The device generates for display the user interface, each blueprint comprising a selectable option that, when selected, leads to fields for configuring the resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Travis MacLeod McPeak, Alaeddin Saleh Abdelrahman Almubayed
