  • Publication number: 20240228404
    Abstract: A process for preparing C2 to C4 hydrocarbons includes introducing a feed stream including hydrogen gas and a carbon-containing gas selected from the group consisting of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and mixtures thereof into a reaction zone of a reactor, and converting the feed stream into a product stream including C2 to C4 hydrocarbons in the reaction zone in the presence of a formed hybrid catalyst. The formed hybrid catalyst includes a metal oxide catalyst component including gallium oxide and zirconia, a microporous catalyst component that is a molecular sieve having 8-MR (Membered Ring) pore openings, and a binder including alumina, zirconia, or both.

  • Patent number: 11125883
    Abstract: Efficient and scalable three-dimensional point cloud segmentation. In an embodiment, a three-dimensional point cloud is segmented by adding points to a spatial hash. For each unseen point, a cluster is generated, the unseen point is added to the cluster and marked as seen, and, for each point that is added to the cluster, the point is set as a reference, a reference threshold metric is computed, all unseen neighbors are identified based on the reference threshold metric, and, for each identified unseen neighbor, the unseen neighbor is marked as seen, a neighbor threshold metric is computed, and the neighbor is added or not added to the cluster based on the neighbor threshold metric. When the cluster reaches a threshold size, it may be added to a cluster list. Objects may be identified based on the cluster list and used to control autonomous system(s).

  • Patent number: 10657710
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for rendering computer graphics. In various embodiments, a displacement map is created for a plurality of surfaces and a tessellation process is initiated. It is determined that the tessellation density of a first set of surfaces and a second set of surfaces should be modified based on the displacement map. Based on the displacement map, a tessellation factor scale for each surface of the first set of surfaces is increased and a tessellation factor scale for each surface of the second set of surfaces is decreased, respectively.
