  • Publication number: 20240114190
    Abstract: Systems and methods for video processing generates 3D streaming data via an API may be provided. A 3D streaming session may be delivered at a client device with low latency and high throughput capacity. Upon verification of the client device, a server may be selected to support an encapsulated 3D streaming engine to initiate the session. A library file may be injected into an executable file of the encapsulated 3D streaming engine to generate a digital representation of an interactive 3D environment. The interactive 3D environment may be rendered, encoded, and streamed to the client device via a GPU. The 3D streaming session may be adjusted via the client device, and sustained until terminated at the client device. A number of virtual compute instances of encapsulated 3D streaming engines provided by the server may be dynamically adjusted based on metrics and machine learning predictions of connected client devices.

  • Patent number: 11940291
    Abstract: A method for updating a map of the surrounding area wherein the map is used when controlling a transportation vehicle. The transportation vehicle attempts, when travelling along a carriageway, to detect a landmark recorded in the map of the surrounding area using sensors. In response to the transportation vehicle being unable to detect the landmark using its sensors, the transportation vehicle prepares a proposal for deletion which is sent to an external central computer. The proposal for deletion is examined in the external central computer and deletes the landmark from the map of the surrounding area in response to the proposal for deletion being verified. In the method, information regarding a visibility range for the landmark is entered in the map of the surrounding area specifying at what range the landmark is visible from a road permitting a more effective detection of landmarks.

  • Patent number: 10851531
    Abstract: A drain fitting for a toilet cistern including a drain valve, which is constructed from a discharge nozzle mounted on the cistern and a lift-adjustable overflow tube, which closes a flow passage through the discharge nozzle in its closed position, and having a pneumatic actuator, with the aid of which, upon the application of pressure, the overflow tube is adjustable into its open position, in which a quantity of flush water is able to flow out of the discharge nozzle of the toilet cistern. An underpressure may be applied to the pneumatic actuator to lift-adjust the overflow tube into its open position. The drain fitting includes an, in particular water-conducting, underpressure unit, which is connected to the pneumatic actuator and generates an underpressure acting upon the pneumatic actuator upon activation by the user.

  • Patent number: 10648578
    Abstract: A sanitary fitting with a fitting body with a hollow cylindrical mixing shaft chamber in which a mixing shaft is rotatably supported about an axis of rotation. A hot and cold water inlet and a mixed water outlet open into the hollow cylindrical mixing shaft chamber, and wherein the mixing shaft has a control contour on the outer circumference which delimits a mixing chamber, which as a function of the rotational position of the mixing shaft fluidically connects the hot water inlet and/or the cold water inlet to the mixed water outlet in order to adjust a mixed water temperature. The mixing chamber of the mixing shaft is fluidically decoupled from the hot water or cold water inlet port while forming a fluid-tight valve gap between a sealing surface of the control contour of the mixing shaft and the inner peripheral wall of the hollow cylindrical mixing shaft chamber.
