Abstract: A system, method, and autonomous vehicle (AV) that generates a row-based world model for perceptive navigation of an AV are described. The system includes a client device, a cloud component, and the AV. The client device receives a map image of a field having a plurality of rows, in which each row includes a plurality of plants. The cloud component then generates a row-based frame of reference, in which each row has an associated frame of reference that includes a distance. A location is determined based on a row number and the distance associated with the row number. The cloud component also associates a semantic instruction with the row-based world model, and the cloud component communicates the row-based world model to the AV.

Abstract: A system, method, and autonomous vehicle (AV) that executes an AV mission plan for a field having plants that follow a row are described. The system includes a cloud component that generates a row-based world model with row-based frames of reference. A semantic user instruction associated with the AV mission plan is received. The semantic user instruction is associated with the row-based world model and generates the AV mission plan. The AV receives the AV mission plan from the cloud component. The AV executes the AV mission plan and completes the AV mission plan. The AV then uploads the AV information gathered from the AV mission plan to the cloud component. The cloud component geocodes the location of each feature with the row-based world model so that the feature includes at least one row number and at least one distance associated with the row number.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to account lineage tracking and automatically executing responsive actions upon detecting an incomplete lineage chain. A computing platform may receive an account-change message from a database-level interceptor. The account-change message may include information identifying a first target account as a database-level source account and identifying a second target account associated with one or more target databases. The first target account may be associated with a target application configured to access the target database. After receiving the account-change message, the computing platform may determine, based on a failure to detect a source account associated with the first target account, that an account lineage chain associated with the account-change message is incomplete.

Abstract: Devices and methods for dynamic power configuration (e.g., reduction) for thermal management (e.g., mitigation) in a wearable electronic device such as an eyewear device. The wearable electronic device monitors its temperature and, responsive to the temperature, configures the services it provides to operate in different modes for thermal mitigation (e.g., to prevent overheating). For example, based on temperature, the wearable electronic device adjusts sensors (e.g., turns cameras on or off, changes the sampling rate, or a combination thereof) and adjusts display components (e.g., adjusted rate at which a graphical processing unit generates images and a visual display is updated). This enables the wearable electronic device to consume less power when temperatures are too high in order to provide thermal mitigation.

The method includes identifying an angular velocity of a display device, a most recent pose of the display device, previous warp poses, and previous over-rendered areas, and adjusting a size of a dynamic over-rendered area based on a combination of the angular velocity, the most recent pose, the previous warp poses, and the previous over-rendered areas.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for a data obfuscation authentication security display session. The invention provides a secondary authentication by recognizing the initial access to a display screen and overlaying and presenting false information on the screen. The false screen may mimic that of a real account screen, but the personal information about the user is false. The invention then requires the user to perform a secondary authentication to gain access information on the display session that is not false. The invention may allow for a duress code implementation in place of the secondary authentication, which initiates security protocols, include a continuum based protocol arrangement of security protocols.

Abstract: A bootstrapping circuit that utilizes multiple pre-charged capacitor voltages and applies the capacitor voltages to the high side FET of a GaN bootstrapping driver. During the pre-charging phase of the bootstrapping driver, multiple capacitors are charged in parallel to the supply voltage. During the driving phase of the bootstrapping driver, the capacitors are connected in series through a number of FETs and connected to the gate terminal of the high side FET of the bootstrapping driver. As a result, the gate-to-source voltage of the high side FET is equal to or greater than the supply voltage during the driving phase, increasing the driving capability of the high side FET and reducing the total required capacitance and die area of the bootstrapping driver.

Each of the integrated circuits includes a power FET which operates in parallel with the power FETs of the other integrated circuits, and a phase detector.

The synchronizer, in response to the signals from each of the integrated circuits, reduces or increases the turn-on times of the power FETs, thereby synchronizing the turn-on times of the power FETs.
