  • Patent number: 11615551
    Abstract: A system uses a fleet of AVs to assess visibility of target objects. Each AV has a camera for capturing images of target objects. AVs provide the captured images, or visibility data derived from the captured images, to a remote system, which aggregates visibility data describing images captured across the fleet of AVs. The AVs also provide condition data describing conditions under which the images were captured, and the remote system aggregates the condition data. The remote system processes the aggregated visibility data and condition data to determine conditions under which a target object does not meet a visibility threshold.

    Abstract: Control systems and methods for coordinating multiple agricultural machines for operation on an agricultural field are provided. Each machine may receive field data for an agricultural field that optionally includes a plurality of pre-defined swaths. Each machine may receive state data from other machine(s). The state data for the other machine(s) may include a next swath and a current swath. Each machine may, after an indication of a start of its current swath, determine a next swath based on open swaths and the state data for the other machine(s). A next swath may also be determined using vehicle kinematic data, and conflicts between machines may be resolved.

  • Patent number: 11605067
    Abstract: A transaction terminal dynamically and regularly changes a unique transaction terminal identifier (ID). The transaction terminal ID is reported to a remote manager. During a transaction, a mobile device automatically reads a current transaction terminal ID from the transaction terminal, appends a mobile device ID for the mobile device, and sends the transaction terminal ID with the mobile device ID to the remote manager. The remote manager links the mobile ID to details associated with a user of the mobile device and sends the details to the transaction terminal. The transaction terminal uses the details to customize a transaction being conducted by the user at the transaction terminal.

  • Patent number: 11606521
    Abstract: An image sensor may include a pixel array having pixels arranged in rows and columns, column readout circuitry, and control circuitry. Column readout circuitry may include corresponding readout circuits each coupled to a corresponding column path for a respective column of pixels. The readout circuits may each include signal processing circuits such as correlated double sampling circuitry and analog-to-digital converter circuitry. To reduce peak-to-average power ratio, during the signal processing operations for each pixel row, the control circuitry may control the signal processing circuits to perform time-domain multiplexing across the pixel columns to activate the signal processing circuits at varied times within the row time. If desired, the pattern of time-domain multiplexing may be varied across the signal processing operations for different pixel rows and/or for different image frames.

  • Patent number: 11599896
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for acquisition of an item or service based on a directed content campaign. Embodiments include a computing system that can detect selection of directed content presented at a user device. The directed content identifies a mobile application and an action that results in the item being granted. After installation of the mobile application, the computing system can receive a device identifier of the user device in response to execution of the mobile application. The computing system can then generate data identifying events within the mobile application. The computing system can determine, using the user activity data, that a particular one of those events corresponds to the action, and can then generate a message that identifies the action and the item or service. The message also includes address data for a user interface to obtain the item or service. The computing system can then cause the user device to present the message.

  • Patent number: 11595607
    Abstract: An imaging device may have an array of image sensor pixels arranged in rows and columns and column readout circuitry coupled to the array. The rows of pixels may receive drive signals from row driver circuitry, and the drive signals may be sent from timing circuitry based on the locations of rows within the array. In particular, rows closer to the readout circuitry may require less settling time and therefore be driven faster than the rows further from the readout circuitry. All of the rows may be driven in a single direction, or the array of pixels may have a cut, in which case rows above the cut may be driven up and rows below the cut may be driven down. A frame buffer may be used to store the signals generated by the rows of pixels and may account for the asynchronous read out of image data.

  • Publication number: 20230052731
    Abstract: A drying expiratory limb of a breathing circuit is provided that is configured to increase or optimize drying of a gas to reduce or prevent condensation. The drying expiratory limb can include a wall that is at least partly made of a breathable material configured to allow transmission of water vapor but substantially prevent transmission of liquid water. The wall includes first and second openings in the wall, the openings respectively configured to receive a gas at a first temperature and a first relative humidity and to allow the gas to exit having a second temperature and a second relative humidity. The drying expiratory limb can be configured to tailor the temperature drop of the gas along the wall to maintain a relative humidity within a targeted range and/or to maintain the gas temperature above its dew point temperature.

  • Publication number: 20230051461
    Abstract: Concepts for acquiring information for identifying a security configuration for an application are proposed. In particular, the information is obtained by running the application in a development environment, detecting security requests made on behalf of the application, and then storing security information associated with the security requests in a security log. Using this concept, a security log may be obtained from which an appropriate security configuration may be determined.

  • Patent number: 11574636
    Abstract: Described herein are dialog systems, and techniques for providing such dialog systems, that are suitable for use on standalone computing devices. In some embodiments, a dialog system includes a dialog manager, which takes as input an input logical form, which may be a representation of user input. The dialog, manager may include a dialog state tracker, an execution subsystem, a dialog policy subsystem, and a context stack. The dialog state tracker may generate an intermediate logical form from the input logical form combined with a context from the context stack. The context stack may maintain a history of a current dialog, and thus, the intermediate logical form may include contextual information potentially missing from the input logical form. The execution subsystem may execute the intermediate logical form to produce an execution result, and the dialog policy subsystem may generate an output logical form based on the execution result.

  • Publication number: 20230029933
    Abstract: A cleaner head for a vacuum cleaner includes an optical system located towards one side of the cleaner head. The optical system includes a light source and at least one light shaping component for receiving light emitted from the light source and directing the light towards a planar work surface on which the cleaner head is disposed to illuminate debris located upon a region of the work surface. This region upon which debris is illuminated is in the shape of a sector. A central axis of the sector is aligned at an angle in the range from 35 to 65° to a front edge of the cleaner head, and one of the radii bounding the sector is aligned at an acute angle of less than 20° to the front edge of the cleaner head.
