Publication number: 20240142983Abstract: Construction vehicles using a teach and repeat system can ascertain boundaries of a task area while working, without knowing a perimeter of the task area before starting the task. The system maps a first path of the vehicle by recording a position of a vehicle moving from a first start position to a first end position. A second path is predicted, based on a shape of the first path, the second path having a second start position and a second end position. A third path is mapped from a third start position to a third end position. Boundaries of the task area are ascertained based on the first path, the first start position, the second start position, the third start position, the third path, the first end position, the second end position, and the third end position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Trimble Inc.Inventors: Adam Clare, Megan Marotz, Geoffrey Kirk

Patent number: 11960546Abstract: A processor may analyze one or more unread messages. The one or more unread messages may be from one or more respective conversations. The processor may generate, from the analyzing, an ambiguous strings model. The processor may summarize, via utilization of the ambiguous strings model, the one or more unread messages. The processor may genericize the ambiguous strings model.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Adam John Gibbons, Seumas McLean Goddard, Shivani Joshi, James Kirk, Daphne Coates

Publication number: 20240040295Abstract: A microphone includes a housing. The microphone includes a windscreen coupled with the housing. The windscreen and the housing define a central volume. The microphone includes an audio module within the central volume. The audio module includes a receiver capsule, a carrier unit coupled with the receiver capsule, and a counterweight coupled with the carrier unit. The microphone includes a suspension element that is coupled with the housing and carrier unit to suspend the audio module within the central volume. The suspension element includes an inner body that contacts the carrier unit. The suspension element includes first and second flanges extending outward from the inner body. The first and second flange are fixedly coupled with the housing. A cross-section of the first and second flange includes an arched region that extends at least partially to an inner wall of the housing. The arched regions are oriented in opposite directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Clayton Christopher Williamson, Tzyy-Woei Richard Sung, Adam Kirk Bennett, Matthew Fumio Yamamoto, Aron Michael Rosenberg

Patent number: 9980040Abstract: Various examples related to determining a location of an active participant are provided. In one example, image data of a room from an image capture device is received. First audio data from a first microphone array at the image capture device is received. Second audio data from a second microphone array spaced from the image capture device is received. Using a three dimensional model, a location of the second microphone array is determined. Using the first audio data, second audio data, location of the second microphone array, and an angular orientation of the second microphone array, an estimated location of the active participant is determined.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Oliver Arthur Whyte, Ross Cutler, Avronil Bhattacharjee, Adarsh Prakash Murthy Kowdle, Adam Kirk, Stanley T.
