  • Patent number: 11951688
    Abstract: A generator injection tool is provided. The generator injection tool injects an adhesive into a generator that includes a rotor positioned within a stator having a stator vent, the stator and rotor having a gap therebetween. The generator injection tool includes a first carriage sized to fit within the gap, a tube, a first motor, a controller, and an adhesive source. An end of the tube is movable between a first position in which the end is outside of the stator vent and a second position within the stator vent. The first motor is operable to move the tube between the first position and the second position. The controller is operable to selectively activate the first motor to position the end of the tube within the stator vent. The adhesive source moves the adhesive through the tube end to inject a portion of the adhesive into the stator vent.

  • Publication number: 20220101020
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for tracking objects in sensor data, such as multiple images or multiple LIDAR clouds. The techniques may include comparing segmentations of sensor data such as by, for example, determining a similarity of a first segmentation of first sensor data and a second segmentation of second sensor data. Comparing the similarity may comprise determining a first embedding associated with the first segmentation and a second embedding associated with the second segmentation and determining a distance between the first embedding and the second embedding. The techniques may improve the accuracy and/or safety of systems integrating the techniques discussed herein.

  • Patent number: 9912969
    Abstract: A live streaming video sharing system. Implementations may include a video camera, portable computing device, video streaming server, database, application server, web server, and a portable computing device associated with a user operatively coupled together. The video camera sends a live stream of video data wirelessly to the portable computing device. The computing device associated with a user receives a live stream of video data from the web server, processes the live stream of video data, and generates a computer interface. The computer interface may include a public computer interface including a public channel and an invisible computer interface including an invisible shares channel associated with the user including an icon corresponding with one or more invisible shares, each invisible share corresponding with a live stream of video data and each invisible share not retrievable using a search form in the computer interface, the application server, and the database.

  • Patent number: 9418482
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to identifying visited travel destinations from a set of digital images associated with users of a social networking system. For example, one or more computing devices provide access to an individual user's account, including the individual user and other users affiliated with the individual user via the social networking system. One or more digital images are received from a computing device associated with the individual user and from one or more second computing devices associated with the other users of the social networking system. From each digital image, a geo-location is determined for each digital image. The one or more computing devices display each geo-located image on a map at a position corresponding to the determined geo-location for the geo-located image.

  • Patent number: 6035609
    Abstract: Valved couplers and gas processing components particularly suitable for ultra-high purity gas distribution for use in semiconductor manufacturing. In the couplers, a valve stem/bullnose seals the aperture of the coupler immediately adjacent the exterior of the coupler, so that only a minimal amount of the wetted surface of the coupler is exposed to the external environment. A gas processing component (e.g., a filter), or an entire integrated gas stick assembly, may be sealed from the exterior environment at both its inlet and outlet sides, by these valved couplers. As a result, the entire device can be purged after manufacture and left in a controlled environment during shipment and installation, reducing the need for purging after installation.
