  • Patent number: 12410762
    Abstract: An acoustic core may include an array of resonant cells configured as a plurality of resonant cell groups. The resonant cell groups may include a plurality of resonant cells configured as a partitioned resonant cell that include a converging resonant cell and a diverging resonant cell. The converging resonant cell and the diverging resonant cell may be defined by a plurality of cell walls integrally formed with one another and a partition integrally formed with the plurality of cell walls. The partition may at least partially delimit the converging resonant cell from the diverging resonant cell. The converging resonant cell may define an upper resonant space delimited by the partition and a top face of the array of resonant cells. The diverging resonant cell may define a lower resonant space delimited by the partition and a bottom face of the array of resonant cells.

  • Publication number: 20240394279
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. In response to receiving a request from a client device for an overall score for an entity, the program retrieves a first set of data associated with the entity and a second set of data associated with the entity. The program further uses a first computational model to generate a first score based on the first set of the data. The program also uses a second computational model to generate a second score based on the second set of data. The program further determines the overall score for the entity based on the first score and the second score.

  • Patent number: 11885147
    Abstract: Theater designs including social media, and theater entrances configured to draw patrons into a main area of the theater including an entrance having a curved wall and curved walkway having a horizon drop-off for display of content related to a motion picture or other feature to be shown in the theater. The content may be interactive or otherwise linked to patrons passing a hallway including the curved wall. Spatialized sound corresponding to the video “moves” with objects in the video and with patrons as they traverse walkway.

  • Patent number: 11720601
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for accessing master data comprising a plurality of representative data records, where each representative data record represents a cluster of similar data records, and each similar data record has a confidence score indicating a confidence level that the similar data record corresponds to the cluster, and comparing a new data record to each representative data record of the plurality of representative data records using a machine learning model to generate a distance score. The systems and methods further provide for analyzing the cluster of similar data records corresponding to each representative data record in a selected set of representative data records to generate candidate values for the requested data field of the new data record, and generating a candidate score for each of the candidate values using the distance score and the confidence score to use in providing a recommended candidate value.

  • Patent number: 11490023
    Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to mitigating light-emitting diode (LED) imaging artifacts in an imaging system of a vehicle. In an example embodiment, the imaging system includes a first camera that operates under control of a first pulse trigger sequence, and a second camera that operates under control of a second pulse trigger sequence. The second pulse trigger sequence has a temporal offset with respect to the first pulse trigger sequence. The first camera captures an image of a light source, such as a traffic light containing LEDs. This image may contain an LED imaging artifact indicating that the traffic light is off. The second camera also captures an image of the light source. The temporal offset of the second pulse trigger sequence may eliminate the LED imaging artifact in the second image. A controller may compare the two images and determine that the traffic light is actually on.

  • Patent number: 11490029
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) flicker mitigation system disposed on a vehicle captures multiple images of an exterior scene to determine whether a light that appears to be off is actually off, or whether the state of the light is actually on but erroneously shown in the system image captures as off due to temporal aliasing. The LED flicker mitigation system may obtain information from external infrastructure and contact other vehicles proximate to the captured scene to determine the true state of the LED light source by identifying homography using the vehicle image captures, infrastructure information, and vehicle sensors. The images may be shared amongst the vehicles to correctly determine the LED status and correct any erroneous LED state information.
