Publication number: 20240140661Abstract: A bottle assembly has a bottle and a removable cap. The cap includes a nozzle and a vent arrangement. The vent arrangement can include a vent conduit that extends into an air cavity present at the bottom of the bottle assembly when the bottle assembly is inverted. The vent arrangement allows for pressure equalization within the bottom assembly in response to liquid being dispensed from the bottle assembly to permit high flow rates of the dispensed liquid without squeezing of the bottle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Carina Mary Hamel, Robert Hart Ringer, Peter William Hazelett, Casey J.

Publication number: 20240145838Abstract: A high power density battery pack for a solar-electric vehicle includes a frame with compartments for battery modules arranged therein. The modules are in thermal communication with a unitary cooling plate disposed underneath. The modules include an array of secondary cells arranged in bottom and top carriers. The bottoms of the cells are in thermal communication with a heat spreader. The cells are oriented with their electrodes in a common plane and electrically isolated by the top carrier. One or more potting materials fills the interstitial spaces between the cells. The cells are connected in parallel and series by interconnects. A module monitoring system tracks the voltage and temperature of the modules. Modules are connected in series by intra-row and inter-row interconnects. A battery management system provides a solar charging mode for both stationary and in-motion vehicle operation, and a low-power quiescent mode when the vehicle is powered down.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: APTERA MOTORS CORP.Inventors: Luke BOCKMAN, Daniel THORP, Diego MEDINA, Thomas HART, Ahmed FOUAD

Publication number: 20240127241Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for electronic resource transfer authentication via a user characteristic data verification engine. The system receives a request to transfer electronic resources from a first endpoint device of a merchant. The system then identifies a resource vehicle owner associated with the electronic resource transfer, identifies at least one second endpoint device, then transmits a request for verification from the entity to the at least one second endpoint device, utilizing an application programming interface. The user characteristic feedback hardware of the at least one second endpoint device collects identifier data from the user of the at least one second endpoint device, and a user characteristic data verification engine is initiated and thereafter determines a binary identification output. An entirety of the electronic resources are distributed to the merchant based on the binary identification output.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Christopher Daniel Birch, Sophie Morgan Danielpour, Susan R.

Patent number: 10216989Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for providing additional information for text in an image. In some implementations, a computing device receives an image including text. Optical character recognition (OCR) is performed on the image to produce recognized text. A word or a phrase is selected from the recognized text for providing additional information. One or more potential meanings of the selected word or phrase are determined. One of the potential meanings is selected based on other text in the image. A source of additional information corresponding to the selected meaning is selected for providing the additional information to a user's device.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2015Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Paul Ramos, Matthew Joseph Cole, Matthew Daniel Hart

Patent number: 10043069Abstract: A system for recognizing objects and/or text in image data may use context data to perform object/text recognition. The system may also use context data when determining potential functions to execute in response to recognizing the object/text. Context data may be gathered based on device sensor data, user profile data such as the behavior of a user or the behavior of those in a user's social network, or other factors. Recognition processing and/or function selection may be configured to account for context data when operating to improve output results.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2014Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Yue Liu, Utkarsh Prateek, Avnish Sikka, Matthew Daniel Hart, Emilie Noelle McConville, Sonjeev Jahagirdar

Patent number: 9659224Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for merging optical character recognized (OCR'd) text from frames of image data. In some implementations, a device sends frames of image data to a server, where each frame includes at least a portion of a captured textual item. The server performs optical character recognition (OCR) on the image data of each frame. When OCR'd text from respective frames is returned to the device from the server, the device can perform matching operations on the text, for instance, using bounding boxes and/or edit distance processing. The device can merge any identified matches of OCR'd text from different frames. The device can then display the merged text with any corrections.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Joseph Cole, Sonjeev Jahagirdar, Matthew Daniel Hart, David Paul Ramos, Ankur Datta, Utkarsh Prateek, Emilie Noelle McConville, Prashant Hegde, Avnish Sikka

Patent number: 9262689Abstract: Embodiments of the subject technology provide for determining a region of a first acquired image based at least on a viewing mode and a set of respective positions of graphical elements to decrease the pre-processing time and perceived latency for the first image. One or more regions of text in the first image are detected, and a set of regions of text that overlap with the region of the image is determined and pre-processed. The subject technology may then pre-process an entirety of a subsequent image (e.g., to pick up missing text from the region of the first image). Thus, additional OCR results may be provided to the user by using the subsequent image(s) and merging subsequent results with previous results from the first image.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Avnish Sikka, David Paul Ramos, Matthew Daniel Hart, Yue Liu, Emilie Noelle McConville
