  • Patent number: 12271190
    Abstract: Technology for generating and displaying a graphical user interface for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed herein that generates and updates a representation of a spline flight path. In various implementations, a graphical user interface detects user interactions with a remote control device directing the flight control subsystem of the UAV to record keyframes and to compute a spline based on the keyframes during flight. The graphical user interface displays a real-time perspective of the UAV with a representation of the spline and the keyframes overlaying the view. The graphical user interface continually updates the representation as the UAV flies and when the spline is updated as the keyframes are updated.

  • Patent number: 12257895
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of automatically distributing powertrain demand between tandem drive axles in a tandem drive axle system for balanced tire wear between the tandem drive axles. Examples described herein analyze input signals collected from various vehicle sensors about operating conditions of the front and back tandem drive axles, and automatically bias a distribution of torque demand between the front and back tandem drive axles to correct for asymmetric wear based on known normal wear of the tires under like operating conditions.

  • Publication number: 20250093868
    Abstract: Technology for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed herein that allows a drone to be flown along a computed spline, while also accommodating in-flight modifications. In various implementations, a UAV includes a flight control subsystem and an electromechanical subsystem. The flight control subsystem records keyframes during flight and computes a spline based on the keyframes. The flight control subsystem then saves the computed spline for playback, at which time the UAV automatically flies in accordance with the computed spline.

  • Publication number: 20250087362
    Abstract: A system and method of generating a model M that can detect or predict the predisposition to an outcome, for example a person's predisposition to developing a health condition such as preeclampsia, with a positive or/and negative predictive value better or equal to a predefined predictive value target, where the method factors in the impact of prevalence on test performance. The system and method employ an iterative population segregation methodology, involving at least two population segregations steps in which each step, independently, employs a probability-defined model. The first segregation step is selected from one of a rule-in probability defined model and a rule-out probability defined model, and the second segregation step is selected from the other of a rule-in probability defined model and a pile-out probability defined model.

A first segment of the first translated audio signal having a first duration and a first segment of the second translated audio signal having a second duration that is longer than the first duration. The method also includes processing the first segment of the first translated audio signal into a processed first segment having a duration equal to the second duration and transmitting the processed first segment to a first mobile computing device at the live event.

  • Publication number: 20250077124
    Abstract: A memory controller includes a request queue and associated logic for efficiently managing the request queue based on various timing constraints of the memory device. A single request queue for the memory device stores read and write requests spanning different banks of the memory device. In each memory controller cycle, selection logic may select both a row request and a column request (relating to a different bank than the row request) for issuing to the memory device based on a set of timing status bits. Following issuance of requests, the memory controller updates the queue to maintain the queued requests in a time-ordered, compressed sequence. The memory controller furthermore updates the timing status bits that are used by the selection logic to select requests from the queue based on a history of past memory requests.

  • Publication number: 20250057683
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a custom cranial remodeling device for correction of cranial deformities in a subject is described. The method comprises generating a three-dimensional head data file for the subject. Predetermined reference points are identified on the head. The predetermined reference points are utilized to calculate contour lines on the head. A modified head shape data file is generated and juxtaposed with the head represented by the three-dimensional head data file having the contour lines thereon. The modified head shape data file is used to generate a shape for a desired custom cranial remodeling device, the shape having an interior surface to contact the head and an outer surface The contour lines establish peripheral edges for the custom cranial remodeling device.
