  • Patent number: 12043225
    Abstract: Techniques are described for cleaning sensors of a vehicle. An attribute of the surrounding environment (e.g., type of precipitation, intensity of precipitation, etc.) is determined along with orientations and/or attributes of the sensors (e.g. fields-of-view, focal lengths, spectral ranges, etc). Cleaning frequencies are then be determined based, at least in part, on the attribute of the environment together with the orientations and/or attributes of the sensors. Cleaning elements are then activated at the determined frequencies to clean the sensors. In some examples, the cleaning frequencies may be determined based additionally on an attribute of travel of the vehicle (e.g. direction of travel of the vehicle, speed of the vehicle, etc.).

  • Publication number: 20240215926
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide predictive modeling techniques for generating predictive classifications from a plurality of continuous sensor measurements. The techniques may include identifying change points from sensor measurements for an input data object, determining data spikes from the sensor measurements based on the change points, and generating a predictive classification for the input data object based on the data spikes. The predictive classification may correspond to an evaluation time period with one or more sub-time periods. The techniques may include determining a sub-time period classification for each of the sub-time periods of the evaluation time period. The predictive classification may be derived from the sub-time period classifications. Using the predictive classification, an action output may be generated and provided for the input data object.

  • Publication number: 20240194349
    Abstract: A computer-implemented process for medical sensing, the process including the steps of: accessing scattering data representing successive sets of measurements of electromagnetic wave scattering by internal features of a body part of a living subject, each said measurement representing scattering of electromagnetic waves emitted by a corresponding antenna of an array of antennas disposed about the body part as measured by a corresponding antenna of the array of antennas at a corresponding time, wherein the successive sets of measurements are temporally spaced apart; processing each of the measurements to generate corresponding spectral data representing intensities measured by the corresponding antenna at the corresponding time as a function of frequency; and processing the spectral data of each antenna for successive times to generate corresponding pulsatility data representing successive pulsations within a corresponding spatially localized region within the body part.

  • Publication number: 20240180124
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for determining an animal feed formulation. In some implementations, a system may obtain data that provides characteristics of an animal population located at a site. The system may identify a target growth schedule for the animal population. The system may use a data processing model to predict nutrition requirements for tissue growth in the animal population, using the target growth schedule and the characteristics of the animal population, as the model predicts nutrition requirements based on projected nitrogenous energy requirements for the tissue growth. The system may identify a feed formulation producible from a combination of animal feed ingredients to satisfy the nutrition requirements for tissue growth. The system may generate a data output for use of the feed formulation with the animal population, the data output indicating the identified feed formulation producible from the combination of animal feed ingredients.

  • Patent number: 11835658
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a number of example embodiments that employ controllable delays between successive ladar pulses in order to discriminate between “own” ladar pulse reflections and “interfering” ladar pulses reflections by a receiver. Example embodiments include designs where a sparse delay sum circuit is used at the receiver and where a funnel filter is used at the receiver. Also, disclosed are techniques for selecting codes to use for the controllable delays as well as techniques for identifying and tracking interfering ladar pulses and their corresponding delay codes. The use of a ladar system with pulse deconfliction is also disclosed as part of an optical data communication system.
