  • Patent number: 12164310
    Abstract: A processor coupled to memory is configured to receive an identification of a geographical location associated with a target specified by a user remote from a vehicle. A machine learning model is utilized to generate a representation of at least a portion of an environment surrounding the vehicle using sensor data from one or more sensors of the vehicle. At least a portion of a path to a target location corresponding to the received geographical location is calculated using the generated representation of the at least portion of the environment surrounding the vehicle. At least one command is provided to automatically navigate the vehicle based on the determined path and updated sensor data from at least a portion of the one or more sensors of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240336273
    Abstract: A method and system for assisting a vehicle when traveling within an area experiencing a meteorological event capable of potentially flooding a roadway is disclosed. The assistance may include determining a water level over top of the roadway, determining a plurality of surface water related operating parameters for the vehicle, and comparing the water level to the surface water related operating parameters to generate a flooded roadway assessment. The flooded roadway assessment may be used for determining the roadway to be in one of a passable state and an impassable state for the vehicle. Based thereon, a flooded roadway command may be generated for correspondingly controlling one or more systems onboard the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12080690
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides micro-assembled micro-LED displays and lighting elements using arrays of micro-LEDs that are too small (e.g., micro-LEDs with a width or diameter of 10 ?m to 50 ?m), numerous, or fragile to assemble by conventional means. The disclosed technology provides for micro-LED displays and lighting elements assembled using micro-transfer printing technology. The micro-LEDs can be prepared on a native substrate and printed to a display substrate (e.g., plastic, metal, glass, or other materials), thereby obviating the manufacture of the micro-LEDs on the display substrate. In certain embodiments, the display substrate is transparent and/or flexible.

  • Publication number: 20240213238
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates generally to designs and methods of assembling devices utilizing compound micro-assembly. Functional elements are micro-assembled to form an array of individual micro-systems on an intermediate substrate, then the microsystems are transferred (one or more at a time) to a destination or device substrate. For example, for a display device, each micro-system may be an individual pixel containing red, blue, and green micro LEDs and a silicon drive circuit. An array of pixels may be formed by micro-transfer printing functional elements onto the intermediate substrate and electrically connecting them via fine lithography, then the individual pixels may be micro-transfer printed onto the destination substrate.

  • Patent number: 11496391
    Abstract: Problems associated with providing a large Clos network having at least one top of fabric (ToF) node, a plurality of internal nodes, and a plurality of leaf nodes may be solved by: (a) providing L2 tunnels between each of the leaf nodes of the Clos and one or more of the at least one ToF node to ensure a non-partitioned IGP L2 backbone, and (b) identifying the L2 tunnels as non-forwarding adjacencies in link state topology information stored in ToF node(s) and leaf node(s) such that the L2 tunnels are not used for forwarding traffic. Tunnel formation is prevented over L2.

  • Patent number: 11469259
    Abstract: Methods of forming integrated circuit devices include forming a sacrificial layer on a handling substrate and forming a semiconductor active layer on the sacrificial layer. The semiconductor active layer and the sacrificial layer may be selectively etched in sequence to define an semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, which includes a first portion of the semiconductor active layer. A multi-layer electrical interconnect network may be formed on the SOI substrate. This multi-layer electrical interconnect network may be encapsulated by an inorganic capping layer that contacts an upper surface of the first portion of the semiconductor active layer. The capping layer and the first portion of the semiconductor active layer may be selectively etched to thereby expose the sacrificial layer.
