    Abstract: A treatment model trained to compute an estimated treatment variable value for each observation vector of a plurality of observation vectors is executed. Each observation vector includes covariate variable values, a treatment variable value, and an outcome variable value. An outcome model trained to compute an estimated outcome value for each observation vector using the treatment variable value for each observation vector is executed. A standard error value associated with the outcome model is computed using a first variance value computed using the treatment variable value of the plurality of observation vectors, using a second variance value computed using the treatment variable value and the estimated treatment variable value of the plurality of observation vectors, and using a third variance value computed using the estimated outcome value of the plurality of observation vectors.

  • Patent number: 12166147
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a thin-film photovoltaic technology including a single-junction crystalline silicon solar cell with a photonic-plasmonic back-reflector structure for lightweight, flexible energy conversion applications. The back-reflector enables high absorption for long-wavelength and near-infrared photons via diffraction and light-concentration, implemented by periodic texturing of the bottom-contact layer by nanoimprint lithography. The thin-film crystalline silicon solar cell is implemented in a heterojunction design with amorphous silicon, where plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is used for all device layers, including a low-temperature crystalline silicon deposition step. Excimer laser crystallization is used to integrate crystalline and amorphous silicon within a monolithic process, where a thin layer of amorphous silicon is converted to a crystalline silicon seed layer prior to deposition of a crystalline silicon absorber layer via PECVD.

  • Patent number: 12162378
    Abstract: A striker locking latch assembly having a mounting bracket and a cover plate secured together by first and second bushings to define a package interior. The first bushing rotatably supports a structural cam and a cinching cam, with the second bushing rotatably supporting a hook adapted to engage the striker when seated within an underside cavity defined between the bracket and plate. A torsional spring biases the cinching cam in a first direction for maintaining a first biasing contact with the hook engaging with the striker. A coil spring extends between the structural cam and a rotationally offset location of the hook such that, and upon the structural cam being pivoted into engagement with the cinching cam and against the first biasing component, continued pivotal actuation of the structural cam and cinching cam causes the second biasing component to pivot the hook out of contact with the striker in a second release position, at which the cinching cam establishes a second biasing contact with the hook.

  • Patent number: 12162757
    Abstract: A process and system for generating hydrogen gas are described, in which water is electrolyzed to generate hydrogen and oxygen, and a feedstock including oxygenate(s) and/or hydrocarbon(s), is non-autothermally catalytically oxidatively reformed with oxygen to generate hydrogen. The hydrogen generation system in a specific implementation includes an electrolyzer arranged to receive water and to generate hydrogen and oxygen therefrom, and a non-autothermal segmented adiabatic reactor containing non-autothermal oxidative reforming catalyst, arranged to receive the feedstock, water, and electrolyzer-generated oxygen, for non-autothermal catalytic oxidative reforming reaction to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen generation process and system are particularly advantageous for using bioethanol to produce green hydrogen.

  • Patent number: 12162500
    Abstract: Techniques for accurately predicting vehicle state errors for avoiding collisions with objects detected in an environment of a vehicle are discussed herein. A vehicle safety system can implement a model determine a representation of the vehicle usable in a scenario. The model may dynamically determine a size and/or a heading of the vehicle representation based on differences between a candidate trajectory and a current trajectory of the vehicle. The safety system can identify a potential collision between the vehicle and the object based at least in part on an overlap of the vehicle representation and an object representation.
