  • Publication number: 20240119854
    Abstract: Computer implemented techniques for converting a text string to an interactive media. The techniques cause a data processing system to receive a text string having one or more branching moments, process the text string to recognize indications of the one or more branching moments given the text string, convert the processed text string and the indications of the one or more branching moments into executable computer code, receive a response to a given one of the converted one or more branching moments from a predetermined set of responses, generate, from the executable computer code and media elements for the response, a virtual respondent, and store the executable computer code and the media elements as a file in the computer storage that represents the virtual respondent.

  • Publication number: 20240116159
    Abstract: A tool system for installing a parking pawl includes a tool that includes a base, a plate, and an actuator. The base includes a base surface configured to support a parking pawl in a predetermined position. The plate includes a protrusion that extends upward from a front portion of the plate. A rear portion of the plate is coupled to a front portion of the base. The plate is movable relative to the base between a retention position in which the protrusion is positioned to retain a pawl spring loaded on the parking pawl in a pretensioned state, and a release position in which the protrusion is configured to release the pawl spring. The actuator is operably coupled to the plate such that activation of the actuator moves the plate between the retention position and the release position.

  • Patent number: 11947354
    Abstract: An Autonomous Vehicle (AV) system is described. The AV system is capable of determining at motor control command associated with an AV trajectory. The AV system includes a content generating device, a system controller, and an AV sensor. The content generating device collects target data associated with a target. The system controller is communicatively coupled to the content generating device. The system controller extracts target features from the target data. Also, the system controller compares the extracted target features to target model data to determine a target pose. Additionally, the system controller determines the AV trajectory by comparing the target pose with at least one target objective. The AV sensor determines an AV state. The system controller determines a motor control command associated with the AV trajectory based on the AV state, the target objective, and the AV trajectory.

  • Patent number: 11902327
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of evaluating a result of enforcement of access control policies instead of enforcing the access control policies. For instance, a result of enforcement of an access control policy with regard to sign-in processes is evaluated instead of enforcing the access control policy with regard to the sign-in processes. The evaluation includes monitoring access requests that are received during the sign-in processes. Each access request requests access to a resource. The evaluation further includes comparing attributes of each access request against the access control policy that specifies criteria that are to be satisfied as a prerequisite to granting access to the resource to which access is requested by the respective access request. Metadata associated with the sign-in processes is generated instead of enforcing the access control policy with regard to the sign-in processes.

  • Publication number: 20240009377
    Abstract: A wound therapy system includes a dressing sealable over a wound, a conduit comprising a first inner diameter, coupled to the dressing, and fluidly communicable with the wound space, and a canister fluidly communicable with the conduit. A therapy unit is coupled to the canister and includes a pump, a sensor configured to measure a pressure, a valve controllable between an open position and a closed position, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to control the pneumatic pump to remove air to establish a negative pressure, control the valve to repeatedly alternate between the open closed positions to allow a controlled rate of airflow through the valve, receive measurements of the pressure from the sensor, and determine a volume of the wound space based on the pressure measurements. A portion of the conduit comprises a second inner diameter that is less than the first inner diameter.

  • Publication number: 20240007104
    Abstract: A gate driver circuit which integrates a synchronous bootstrap circuit in an isolation well of an integrated circuit, such that the synchronous bootstrap capacitor connected to the synchronous bootstrap circuit (and to the corresponding switch node of a power converter) can float with the corresponding switch node. Due to this feature, the voltage on one synchronous bootstrapping capacitor can be used to charge the synchronous bootstrapping capacitor of another (higher level) synchronous bootstrap circuit in a separate isolation well connected to a different switch node. As a result, the supply voltages for the synchronous bootstrap circuits in different isolation wells can all be supplied from a single ground referenced supply Vdd.
