  • Patent number: 11947153
    Abstract: A backlight module and a display device are provided, and the backlight module includes a light guide plate, a plurality of light-emitting components, and a frame. The light guide plate includes a first side, a second side, and two third sides. The light-emitting components are disposed on the first side, and light generated from the light-emitting components enters the light guide plate from the first side. The frame covers the second side and the third sides and includes an opening and at least one buffer portion. The light-emitting components are disposed in the opening, and the buffer portion is disposed on a side of the opening and contacts the light guide plate.

  • Publication number: 20230350405
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to gradually adjusting a vehicle sensor perspective using remote assistance. A computing device may receive a request for assistance from a vehicle operating in an environment. The request indicates that the vehicle is stopped at a location with a sensor perspective of the environment that is at least partially occluded. Responsive to receiving the request for assistance, the computing device may display a graphical user interface (GUI) that represents a current state of the vehicle and includes a selectable option configured to enable the vehicle to gradually move forward a predefined distance. The computing device may detect a selection of the selectable option and transmit instructions that enable the vehicle to gradually move forward the predefined distance. The vehicle can then gradually move forward the predefined distance while also monitoring for one or more changes in the environment responsive to receiving the instructions.
