  • Patent number: 12138807
    Abstract: A robotic system to control multiple robots to perform a task cooperatively is disclosed. A first robot determines to perform a task cooperatively with a second robot, moves independently to a first grasp position to grasp an object associated with the task, receives an indication that the second robot is prepared to perform the task cooperatively, and moves the object independently of the second robot in a leader mode along a trajectory determined by the first robot. The second robot assists the first robot in performing the task cooperatively, at least in part by moving independently to a second grasp position, grasping the object, and cooperating with the first robot to move the object, at least in part by operating in a follower mode of operation to maintain engagement with the object as the first robot moves the object along the trajectory.

  • Patent number: 12141689
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a representative value of a data set by first compressing a portion of values in the data set to determine a first common value and further compressing a subset of the portion of values to determine a second common value. The representative value is generated by taking the difference between the first common value and the second common value, wherein the representative value corresponds to a mathematical relationship between the first and second common values and each value within the subset of the portion of values. The representative value requires less storage than the first and second common values.

  • Patent number: 12142965
    Abstract: A system and method for power source selection control. Multiple power sources of a power supply unit are each connected to a high power load via a plurality of switching circuitries each comprising at least one pair of transistors connected in a common source configuration and positioned between a positive lead of a respective one of the power sources and the high power load. A controller detects presence of a current flow from at least one of the power sources and accordingly selects one of power sources and activates a respective one of the plurality of switching circuitries for conducting a current flow from the respective power source selected to the high power load.

  • Patent number: 12141099
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a scalable multi-tier storage system. An entry may be added and/or deleted within the storage system. To delete an entry, the storage system may determine whether the entry corresponds to the file or the directory based on directory metadata, and request deletion of the directory metadata associated with the entry from the directory volume based on determining that the entry corresponds to the directory, and further requesting deletion of the file from a file volume based on a determination that the entry corresponds to the file. To add a file, the storage system may generate directory metadata associated with the entry in the directory volume based on a determination that the entry corresponds to the directory, and may further allocate file metadata in the file volume based on a determination that the entry corresponds to the file.

  • Patent number: 12138960
    Abstract: A caster assembly having a top cap configured to engage with a structure, a caster leg configured to pivotally engage with the top cap, such that the caster leg selectively pivots about a pivot axis, and a pair of sinusoidal wheels configured to be rotationally engaged with the caster leg, the sinusoidal wheels being configured to rotate about a wheel rotational axis and swivel with the caster leg as a required when the structure is moved. An angled member of the caster leg may be configured to engage with the sinusoidal wheels such that the wheel rotational axis is not intersected by the pivot axis. An offset angle formed between the angled member and a vertical member of the caster leg, when used in conjunction with the disclosed sinusoidal wheels, is configured to ease structure movement by minimizing resistances exerted on the sinusoidal wheels during rolling and caster leg pivoting.

  • Patent number: 12141235
    Abstract: Datasets for autonomous driving systems and multi-modal scenes may be automatically labeled using previously trained models as priors to mitigate the limitations of conventional manual data labeling. Properly versioned models, including model weights and knowledge of the dataset on which the model was previously trained, may be used to run an inference operation on unlabeled data, thus automatically labeling the dataset. The newly labeled dataset may then be used to train new models, including sparse data sets, in a semi-supervised or weakly-supervised fashion.

  • Patent number: 12138824
    Abstract: An improved engineered wood product, and related methods, with improved actual and apparent surface quality. The product includes a high basis weight fines layer overlaying a strand matrix base layer, with one or more overlay layers. The fines layer may be placed between the overlay layers, if multiple overlays are present. The configuration of fines layer and overlay layer(s) minimizes the presence of sub-surface imperfections that may result in visible telegraphing on the exposed surface. A light pattern or texture may be embossed on the outermost overlay layer during the pressing process. Additionally, a paint primer layer or coating with added aggregate may be applied to help camouflage inherent sub-surface defects.
