  • Patent number: 11769847
    Abstract: A solar panel includes a silicon cells submodule of silicon based cells, a front transparent plate and a backsheet. The backsheet is arranged with at least a first conductive pattern that is connected to rear surface electrical contacts on each of the silicon cells. A thin film photovoltaic submodule is arranged between the front transparent plate and the silicon cells, and includes thin film cells in an arrangement with two photovoltaic submodule contacts that connect to a second conductive pattern on the backsheet. The backsheet is arranged for four-terminal wiring with the first pattern for the silicon cells and the second pattern for the thin film cells. The thin film cells are disposed in a first group of cells and in at least a second group of cells, each connected in series. The first group is connected in parallel with the second group, between the photovoltaic submodule contacts.

  • Publication number: 20230294727
    Abstract: In various examples, a hazard detection system plots hazard indicators from multiple detection sensors to grid cells of an occupancy grid corresponding to a driving environment. For example, as the ego-machine travels along a roadway, one or more sensors of the ego-machine may capture sensor data representing the driving environment. A system of the ego-machine may then analyze the sensor data to determine the existence and/or location of the one or more hazards within an occupancy grid—and thus within the environment. When a hazard is detected using a respective sensor, the system may plot an indicator of the hazard to one or more grid cells that correspond to the detected location of the hazard. Based, at least in part, on a fused or combined confidence of the hazard indicators for each grid cell, the system may predict whether the corresponding grid cell is occupied by a hazard.

  • Publication number: 20230281830
    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses, systems, and techniques that may perform methods of pyramid optical flow processing with efficient identification and handling of object boundary pixels. In pyramid optical flow, motion vectors for pixels of image layers having a coarse resolution may be used as hints for identification of motion vectors for pixels of image layers having a higher resolution. Pixels that are located near apparent boundaries between foreground and background objects may receive multiple hints from lower-resolution image layers, for more accurate identification of matching pixels across different image levels of the pyramid.

  • Patent number: 11702655
    Abstract: The method involves an approach of inhibiting replication of dysfunctional cells which adopt alternative lengthening of telomeres, or “ALT.” The methodology involves inhibition of Fanconi anemia complementation group M (FANCM), and one or both of breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and Bloom syndrome protein (BLM). These molecules are the keys to the elimination of replication stress caused by ALT. In other words, they permit the dysfunctional cells to proliferate. Inhibition of these molecules inhibits proliferation.

  • Publication number: 20230222016
    Abstract: A disclosed method for implementing containers in an information handling system generates, with a first non-privileged container, a request that is sent to a RESTful API. Whenever the API identifies a request requiring host access the API launches a second container, which is configured to operate in a privileged execution mode. The second container accesses the host and executes the requested actions. When the request completes, the first container resumes non-privileged execution, thereby confining privileged mode execution to a container that is only active during host interaction. The host access can be access required to: exchange data with the host, query the host for hardware information, and modify host configuration. The host may be implanted within a device featuring an HCI infrastructure. In one configuration, the host resides of one of multiple distinct nodes of an HCI appliance.

  • Patent number: 11689482
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for dynamically providing a typing feedback indicator. Text entered in a body of a message that is to be sent to a recipient is detected. Prior to the user (author) sending the message to the recipient, the text of the message being composed by the user is analyzed to determine a sentiment and an emotion as well as to determine a topic of the content of the text. Based on such analyses, as well as possibly based on other criteria, a typing feedback indicator is generated to reflect an indication of the content of the message to be sent to the recipient. The typing feedback indicator may then be displayed on a computing device of the recipient while the user (author) is composing the message thereby providing the recipient context awareness of the message prior to receipt of such a message.
