  • Publication number: 20250074295
    Abstract: A reflector unit may behave as a retroreflector to reflect light of a selected color. The reflector unit may comprise a plurality of reflector elements having a first side configured to reflect light of a first color and a second side configured to reflect light of a second color. In response to receiving a signal (e.g., indicating a bi-directional vehicle has changed a direction of travel), the reflector unit may cause the reflector elements to rotate and expose a different side of the reflector elements depending on the direction of travel.

  • Publication number: 20250068640
    Abstract: The subject technology receives, by an execution node, blob metadata from a key-value store, the blob metadata including information related to a set of blob files. The subject technology determines, by the execution node using the blob metadata, whether a copy of each of the set of blob files is stored in a local cache of the execution node. The subject technology transforms at least one blob file, retrieved from a blob store, to a second file in a column file format, the at least one blob file being in a first format that is different than the column file format, the transforming comprising at least converting a particular snapshot file from the at least one blob file to a particular set of rowsets and writing the set of rowsets into the second file in the column file format. The subject technology stores the second file in the local cache.

  • Patent number: 12231955
    Abstract: A network device, of a fifth generation (5G) radio access network, may establish a connection or a session with a user equipment connected to a Wi-Fi network. The network device may determine an indicator indicating whether a 5G network preference is in effect based on a subscription of the user equipment and may provide the indicator to the user equipment. The network device may maintain the connection or the session with the user equipment when the indicator indicates that the Wi-Fi network is not preferred for Wi-Fi offload and may receive traffic from the user equipment when the indicator indicates that the Wi-Fi network is not preferred for Wi-Fi offload.

  • Publication number: 20250037510
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a notification indicating an identity of a first person based on face-associated body characteristics. For example, a device performs facial recognition to identify the identity of the first person shown in a first video feed. The device also identifies and stores physical characteristic information of the first person from the first video feed, the stored information associated with the identity of the first person based on the recognized face. Subsequently, the device receives a second video feed showing a second person whose face is determined to not be recognized by the device. The device compares the stored physical characteristic information of the first person with additional physical characteristic information of the second person shown in the second video feed. Based on the comparison, the device provides a notification indicating whether the identity of the second person corresponds to the identity of the first person.

  • Publication number: 20250028546
    Abstract: Remote user interface (UI) rendering effects provide increased privacy and efficiency in computer user input systems. In an aspect, an application specifies remote UI effects to be managed and rendered on UI elements separately from the application, such as by an effects component running outside of the application's operating system process. When user input indicates a preliminary interaction with a UI element, the remote UI effect can be rendered without the application's knowledge of the preliminary interaction, hence preserving a user's privacy from the application of preliminary UI interactions.
