  • Patent number: 12487098
    Abstract: A central map can be used in a construction environment to help position devices and receive updates from devices to update the central map. Devices in the construction environment, such augmented-reality devices, laser scanners, total stations, satellite navigation receivers, and others can be used to provide “crowd-sourced” data to update the central map as the construction environment changes.

  • Publication number: 20250214411
    Abstract: In one aspect, an in-wheel drive assembly is provided that includes a stator configured to form a non-rotatable connection with a spindle of a vehicle and be positioned outboard of the spindle. The in-wheel drive assembly includes a stator retainer configured to extend in an interior of the spindle and inhibit movement of the stator in an outboard direction relative to the spindle. The in-wheel drive assembly further includes a rotor rotatably supported by the stator, an output housing to be connected to a wheel hub, and a planetary gear assembly operatively connecting the rotor and the output housing. The planetary gear assembly is configured to cause rotation of the output housing and wheel hub connected thereto in response to rotation of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 11360310
    Abstract: An augmented-reality system is combined with a surveying system to make measurement and/or layout at a construction site more efficient. A reflector can be mounted to a wearable device having an augmented-reality system. A total station can be used to track a reflector, and truth can be transferred to the wearable device while an obstruction is between the total station and the reflector. Further, a target can be used to orient a local map of a wearable device to an environment based on a distance between the target and the wearable device.

  • Patent number: 10983901
    Abstract: Techniques are described for “fuzz testing” serverless software applications (for example, software applications implemented by a serverless compute service provided by a service provider network). Fuzz testing is an automated testing technique involving a fuzzer client application (or simply “fuzzer”) providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a software application that is the target of the testing to discover software bugs and other runtime issues during execution of the software. To fuzz test a serverless application, a fuzzer continuously sends inputs to the serverless application and, when a runtime error is detected (for example, by monitoring log data generated by the serverless application), a copy of the serverless application can be invoked with the suspected error-inducing input to verify that the input indeed causes the error without interrupting the fuzzer's testing of the original serverless application.

  • Patent number: 10977379
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques implemented partly by a service provider to monitor a cloud-based service by generating and placing canary records in storage locations along with real records to identify improper access events of the records or other data. The service provider may detect an access event where records in a storage location were accessed, and determine whether a canary record was accessed. If a canary record was accessed, the service provider may determine that the access event was potentially performed by a malicious entity because authorized users generally may not have reason to access a canary record when utilizing their cloud-based service. The service provider may generate canary records that are difficult to identify by a malicious entity, and may position canary records in the storage locations to help ensure that the canary records are accessed by a malicious entity during an improper access event.
