Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to neural components for differentiable ray tracing of radio propagation. Differentiable ray tracing may be used to refine the scene geometry of the physical environment, to learn or optimize the scene properties of objects in the scene, to learn or optimize the scene properties of antennas, and to learn or optimize antenna patterns, array geometries, and orientations and positions of transmitters and receivers. Once scene properties have been learned or optimized, the differentiable ray tracer may further be used to simulate the performance of different configurations of the transmitters, receivers, and scene geometry. In an embodiment, one or more of the scene geometry, scene properties, and antenna characteristics are computed by a differentiable parametric function, such as a neural network, etc. and parameters of the differentiable parametric function are learned using the differentiable ray tracing.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for vehicle-occupancy-based and user-preference-based smart routing, and autonomous volumetric-occupancy measurement. In an embodiment, a system is configured to receive from a user device associated with a user, a routing-options request for routing options between two locations, and to responsively identify one or more routing options between the two locations based at least in part on occupancy data for a vehicle that would be utilized for at least a portion of at least one of the identified routing options. The occupancy data is based on an output of an automated occupancy-measurement system onboard the vehicle. The system is also configured to provide the one or more identified routing options to the user device. In some embodiments, the occupancy data is obtained using volumetric-occupancy measurement. Some embodiments relate to volumetric-occupancy measurement conducted by autonomous mesh nodes.

Abstract: An online concierge system assists users in identifying additional information about items in an image. Image regions are identified in the image that may correspond to unknown items and an item search space is determined for detecting items in the image regions based on a context of the image, such as items in a warehouse or a list of items delivered to a customer. The identified items are used to retrieve relevant item information that is included in a prompt for a language model to extract relevant information for the item. As such, the process may automatically process the image into relevant textual information about the pictured items. Applications may be used to assist vision-impaired users in distinguishing delivered items or quickly identifying and evaluating relevant information about items.

Abstract: Disclosed are a sorbent produced by recycling waste paper, which is an eco-friendly recycling paper resource, to adsorb and remove a marine spilled oil and other types of oil and a method of producing the same. The oil sorbent is produced by hydrophobizing a biomass material such as waste paper using a gas-grafting method. Compared to the oil sorbent of the prior art formed of synthetic resin, it is possible to provide excellent oil adsorption selectivity, a high oil adsorption rate, and a low water absorption rate. Therefore, an incineration process for processing the waste oil sorbent after use is easy advantageously. The oil sorbent generates less harmful substances during combustion because the eco-friendly material is used. Since a biomass material is hydrophobized using vegetable fatty acids, decomposition is performed fast within a short time in a landfill process, and there is no risk of environmental pollution.
