  • Patent number: 11615055
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media for implementing a scalable, secure, efficient, and adaptable distributed digital ledger transaction network. Indeed, the disclosed systems can reduce storage and processing requirements, improve security of implementing computing devices and underlying digital assets, accommodate a wide variety of different digital programs (or “smart contracts”), and scale to accommodate billions of users and associated digital transactions. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a host of features that improve storage, account/address management, digital transaction execution, consensus, and synchronization processes. The disclosed systems can also utilize a new programming language that improves efficiency and security of the distributed digital ledger transaction network.

  • Publication number: 20230033297
    Abstract: Systems and methods for complementary control of an autonomous vehicle (AV) are disclosed. The methods include receiving information comprising an active trajectory of an AV that the AV intends to following for a planning horizon. The methods also include using the active trajectory to identify one or more regions in an environment of the AV such as a fallback monitoring region (FMR) and an active monitoring region (AMR), and generating one or more instructions for causing the AV to execute a collision mitigation action in response to an object being detected within the AMR. The methods further include transmitting the one or more instructions to an AV platform (AVP) for execution.

  • Publication number: 20220415042
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing data generated by a sensing system that rotationally senses an environment. In one aspect, a method comprises partitioning a predetermined period of time into a plurality of sub-periods, wherein the predetermined period of time is a period of time for which data generated by the sensing system constitutes a complete rotational sensing of the environment; for each sub-period: receiving current data generated by the sensing system during the sub-period and characterizing a respective partial scene of the environment; processing the current data using an object detection neural network to generate a current object detection output that is specific to the respective partial scene of the environment.

  • Patent number: 11479142
    Abstract: A system receives historical vehicle battery data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle. Some vehicles with plug-in rechargeable batteries recommend/require that the vehicle computer be turned off when recharging. Thus, obtaining a current state of charge while a vehicle is charging can be difficult because the vehicle computer can be off. While the vehicle/gateway device is unable to transmit current battery data, the systems estimate a battery charge from the historical data.

    Abstract: An optical detection assembly for monitoring a biological fluid in a vessel includes two fluid-adjustment structures, which are spaced apart and configured to receive at least a portion of a biological fluid-containing vessel therebetween. A light source (which may be associated with one of the fluid-adjustment structures) is configured to emit light through a thickness of the biological fluid in the vessel, while a light detector (which may be associated with the other one of the fluid-adjustment structures) is configured to receive at least a portion of the light from the light source after it has passed through the biological fluid in the vessel. At least a portion of at least one of the fluid-adjustment structures is configured to move with respect to at least a portion of the other one so as to change the thickness of the biological fluid in the monitored portion of the vessel.
