  • Publication number: 20250114915
    Abstract: A side window mount assembly is provided for use in handling windscreens, which includes a vehicle anchor device for securing to a vehicle side window, a platform mechanically secured to the vehicle anchor device, a raising and lowering index hub supported by the platform, a connecting arm extending from the raising and lowering index hub, and a mount structure operably coupled to the connecting arm. The mount structure is configured to engage a support arm of a windscreen anchor assembly. The raising and lower index hub controls index rotation of the connecting arm that moves the mount structure between a dropped down and a raised-up position in an index-wise manner between a series of successively rotationally spaced positions of the raising and lowering index hub.

  • Publication number: 20250110992
    Abstract: A method may include causing a client computer to display a graphical user interface including a hierarchical element tree, the hierarchical element tree including a plurality of hierarchically arranged selectable elements. The method may further include, in response to receiving a selection of a selectable element in the hierarchical element tree and in accordance with the selected selectable element being associated with a remote content item that is managed by an external platform separate from the content collaboration system, selecting a content processing engine, retrieving content from the remote content item at the external platform and using an address associated with the remote content item, processing the content from the remote content item using the selected processing engine to produce renderable content, the renderable content formatted in accordance with the platform-specific structured data format, and causing display of the renderable content in the content panel.

  • Patent number: 12236935
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating and adjusting translated audio from a video-based source. The method includes receiving video data and corresponding audio data in a first language; generating a translated preliminary transcript in a second language; aligning timing windows of portions of the translated preliminary transcript with corresponding segments of the audio data; determining portions of the translated aligned transcript in the second language that exceed a timing window range of the corresponding segments of the audio data in the first language to generate flagged transcript portions; transmitting the original transcript, the translated aligned transcript, and the first speech dub to a first device, the generated flagged transcript portions included in the original transcript and the translated aligned transcript; receiving, from the first device, a modified original transcript; and generating, based on the modified original transcript, a second speech dub in the second language.

  • Publication number: 20250043524
    Abstract: An example embodiment of the present invention provides a method of assessing the condition of a pavement site, comprising: (a) acquiring aerial images of the site from above, for example by an unmanned aerial system (UAS); (b) using photogrammetry tools to generate an orthomosaic that represents the airport pavement surface; (c) using image analysis tools and machine learning methods to determine the location and extent of defects in the pavement; (c) producing an image representation of the site and the defects, where the location and extent of defects are discernible from the image; (d) using software application techniques to store and present defect data and other related information for client-side user access.

  • Publication number: 20250036699
    Abstract: A level of busyness of a public place may be represented using content specific to the public place. Images, video, audio, or other content captured at the public place is correlated with busyness information for the public place at the time of capture. Representative content is selected and stored based on a number of factors such as to minimize resources in storing and transmitting the content. The selected representative content may be provided in response to a user request for information related to the public place, such that the user receives an accurate portrayal of how the public place would look, sound, and/or feel at a given time.

  • Publication number: 20250014163
    Abstract: A system for detecting damage to a glass surface particularly vehicle glazing panels such as vehicle windscreens. The system uses a sensor unit disposed proximate the surface and a processor in communication with the sensor unit. The processor is configured to analyse data received from the sensor unit in order to determine the integrity of the surface and a communication unit is configured to output a signal in response to the processor determining that the surface has been damaged. For vehicle glass the system is preferably integrated into the vehicle management and control systems such that the system is active when the vehicle is active or moving. The management and or control system may monitor for instances or situations when changes, such as above threshold changes, occur in order to produce an output warning signal.
