  • Publication number: 20240131886
    Abstract: A system and method for operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck is provided. A processor facilitates autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, and connection to and disconnection from trailers. A plurality of sensors are interconnected with the processor that sense terrain/objects and assist in automatically connecting/disconnecting trailers. A server, interconnected, wirelessly with the processor, that tracks movement of the truck around and determines locations for trailer connection and disconnection. A door station unlatches/opens rear doors of the trailer when adjacent thereto, securing them in an opened position via clamps, etc. The system computes a height of the trailer, and/or if landing gear of the trailer is on the ground and interoperates with the fifth wheel to change height, and whether docking is safe, allowing a user to take manual control, and optimum charge time(s). Reversing sensors/safety, automated chocking, and intermodal container organization are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240120022
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing protein design. In one aspect, a method comprises: processing an input characterizing a target protein structure of a target protein using an embedding neural network having a plurality of embedding neural network parameters to generate an embedding of the target protein structure of the target protein; determining a predicted amino acid sequence of the target protein based on the embedding of the target protein structure, comprising: conditioning a generative neural network having a plurality of generative neural network parameters on the embedding of the target protein structure; and generating, by the generative neural network conditioned on the embedding of the target protein structure, a representation of the predicted amino acid sequence of the target protein.

  • Patent number: 11931512
    Abstract: A patient interface including a positioning and stabilizing structure that is configured to maintain a first seal-forming structure and a second seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position. The positioning and stabilizing structure comprises a frame coupled to the plenum chamber. The frame includes a central portion coupled to the plenum chamber outside of the cavity. The frame also includes a pair of arms that extend away from the central portion in a posterior direction past the second seal-forming structure. The pair of arms are more flexible than the central portion. The positioning and stabilizing structure also includes headgear straps coupled to the frame, which configured to provide a tensile force to the first seal-forming structure and to the second seal-forming structure into the patient's face via the frame.
