  • Publication number: 20220244072
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a simultaneous localisation and mapping, SLAM, device a data processing unit, computer program and associated method for receiving first-sensor-data, first-motion-data and first-timing-information associated with the first-sensor-data and the first-motion-data; receiving second-sensor-data, second-motion-data and second- timing-information associated with the second-sensor-data and the second-sensor-motion-data; and correlating the first-motion-data with the second-motion-data to identify a relationship between the first-timing-information and the second-timing-information, in which the identified relationship between the first-timing-information and the second-timing-information defines one or more associations between the first-sensor-data and the second-sensor-data.

  • Patent number: 11176353
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to corresponding apparatus, computer program and method for receiving three-dimensional, 3D, map-data, in which a plurality of locations within the 3D-map-data are association with respective 3D-data-capture-locations of a 3D-camera, and in which 3D-camera-timing-information is associated with each of the plurality of locations; receiving one or more two-dimensional, 2D, images from a 2D-camera, in which 2D-camera-timing-information is associated with each 2D-image, and in which each 2D-image is captured when a movement of the 3D-camera is less than a threshold level; identifying 3D-camera-timing-information associated with locations within the 3D-map-data that correspond to 3D-data-capture-locations with a movement level of the 3D-camera less than the threshold level; associating, in a combined dataset, each 2D-image with a corresponding location within the 3D-map-data by a data processing unit correlating the 2D-camera-timing-information with the identified 3D-camera-timing-informatio

  • Patent number: 11106324
    Abstract: A machine for dynamic content rendering in a space-constrained online container. The machine accesses a plurality of items of digital content. The machine dynamically renders the plurality of items in a dedicated area of a user interface. The dynamic rendering includes: dynamically determining, for display in the dedicated area, a first item group of one or more items of the plurality of items; causing display of the first item group in the dedicated area; and dynamically determining a second item group of one or more items of the plurality of items. The items included in the second item group are associated with a hidden style based on dynamically determining that the dynamic rendering of the items included in the second item group overflows the dedicated area. The machine dynamically renders a call-to-action button in the dedicated area. The call-to-action button indicates the number of items in the second item group.

  • Patent number: 10520600
    Abstract: Methods for segmenting an ocean bottom area into multiple homogenous, rectangular sub-mission areas and generating new, composite sensor performance functions for each sub-mission area are provided. The method discretizes each voxel into a plurality of equally sized, square range bins and obtains a mean P-of-Y curve for each row and column based on a bottom characterization for each of the voxels. Zone parameters along each direction are iteratively calculated, with adjacent zones merged when their parameters are within predetermined values. Pooled variances are calculated for each direction and a preferred mission direction is chosen based on the direction with the smallest pooled variance.

  • Publication number: 20030049359
    Abstract: Frozen sheeted dough including flour, water, a chemical leavening agent having a soda ingredient present in an amount of about 0.5% to about 2% by weight (as compared to the amount of flour) and an acid ingredient, and from about 3% to about 9% by weight of yeast, where the frozen sheeted dough does not require proofing. Preferably, the dough is shaped into the form of a pizza or breadsticks. The dough may contain additional ingredients. The dough may be topped with one or more toppings. Also provided is a method of making frozen sheeted dough that includes combining the ingredients, and shaping and freezing the dough, where the dough does not require proofing. Further provided are methods of making pizza or breadsticks, which do not require proofing the dough.
