Patent number: 11961243Abstract: A geometric approach may be used to detect objects on a road surface. A set of points within a region of interest between a first frame and a second frame are captured and tracked to determine a difference in location between the set of points in two frames. The first frame may be aligned with the second frame and the first pixel values of the first frame may be compared with the second pixel values of the second frame to generate a disparity image including third pixels. One or more subsets of the third pixels that have a value above a first threshold may be combined, and the third pixels may be scored and associated with disparity values for each pixel of the one or more subsets of the third pixels. A bounding shape may be generated based on the scoring.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Dong Zhang, Sangmin Oh, Junghyun Kwon, Baris Evrim Demiroz, Tae Eun Choe, Minwoo Park, Chethan Ningaraju, Hao Tsui, Eric Viscito, Jagadeesh Sankaran, Yongqing Liang

Publication number: 20240079266Abstract: Semiconductor devices having air gap spacers that are formed as part of BEOL or MOL layers of the semiconductor devices are provided, as well as methods for fabricating such air gap spacers. For example, a method comprises forming a first metallic structure and a second metallic structure on a substrate, wherein the first and second metallic structures are disposed adjacent to each other with insulating material disposed between the first and second metallic structures. The insulating material is etched to form a space between the first and second metallic structures. A layer of dielectric material is deposited over the first and second metallic structures using a pinch-off deposition process to form an air gap in the space between the first and second metallic structures, wherein a portion of the air gap extends above an upper surface of at least one of the first metallic structure and the second metallic structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Kangguo Cheng, Thomas J. Haigh, Juntao Li, Eric G. Liniger, Sanjay C. Mehta, Son V. Nguyen, Chanro Park, Tenko Yamashita

Patent number: 9468219Abstract: Techniques and devices are described for preparing a fish fillet. The techniques and devices facilitate the removal of the skin and/or rib bones of the fish from the meat that forms the fillet. In embodiments, the techniques employ a fish skinning device that includes a roller and a blade. The roller is configured to contact the skin included on a fillet so that rotation of the roller causes the fillet to be directed toward the blade. The roller and blade are configured so the skin passes between the roller and blade and is generally separated and directed away from the meat. A blade float assembly permits the blade to float with respect to the blade during use to receive the skin or rib bones of the fish fillet between the roller and the blade.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2015Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Ultimate Fishing Gear, Inc.Inventors: Chris Kielian, Brian Kielian, Perry Parks, Eric Parks
