Abstract: Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices for detecting objects are provided. For example, the disclosed technology can obtain a representation of sensor data associated with an environment surrounding a vehicle. Further, the sensor data can include sensor data points. A point classification and point property estimation can be determined for each of the sensor data points and a portion of the sensor data points can be clustered into an object instance based on the point classification and point property estimation for each of the sensor data points. A collection of point classifications and point property estimations can be determined for the portion of the sensor data points clustered into the object instance. Furthermore, object instance property estimations for the object instance can be determined based on the collection of point classifications and point property estimations for the portion of the sensor data points clustered into the object instance.

Abstract: A sanitization device may include an ozone operating system configured to generate ozone, a sanitization compartment, a distribution line fluidly coupling the ozone operating system to the sanitization compartment, and an adaptor disposed within the sanitization compartment. The adaptor may be configured to couple to a mask and may be further configured to be fluidly coupled to the distribution line such that ozone passes through the adaptor and into the sanitization compartment.

Abstract: The present invention includes a system and device for aiding in the diagnosis of a physiological abnormality resulting in detectable, measurable variations in contents of breathed air. The system includes a handheld unit defining an airway, wherein the airway includes a plurality of sensors adapted to measure a plurality of parameters related to the presence of a physiological abnormality. The system further includes a control unit remotely connected to the handheld unit. The control unit includes a controller adapted to receive input signals from the handheld unit and remit output signals in response thereto. The output signals are usable by a user in determining the presence or absence of a physiological abnormality. The control unit further also can include a display adapted to display the output signals to a user thereby easing the determination of the physiological abnormality. The system further includes a mouthpiece selectively connectable to the handheld unit.

Abstract: A control system for control of a prosthetic device having a plurality of actuators receives an orientation signal indicative of a desired movement. The control system evaluates whether the prosthetic device may move as desired with a current angle of rotation and commands at least one actuator to move the prosthetic device as desired by maintaining the current angle of rotation or by adjusting the angle of rotation if the prosthetic device cannot move as desired with the current angle. The control system may alternate between commanding a first subset of actuators and a second subset of actuators each time the orientation signal is indicative of a neutral position. The control system may include a position sensor and a compliance sensor and may command at least one actuator based on a combination of positional control using the position sensor and force control using the compliance sensor.

Abstract: A system for control of a prosthetic device includes at least one Inertial Measurement Unit detecting orientation of a user's foot. The at least one Inertial Measurement Unit is in communication with a device module configured to command at least one actuator of a prosthetic device. The at least one Inertial Measurement unit sends output signals related to orientation of the user's foot to the device module and the device module controls the at least one actuator of the prosthetic device based on the signals from the at least one Inertial Measurement Unit. The device module controls movement of an endpoint of the device within a movement envelope. The device module commanding movement of the end point within the movement envelope through at least simultaneous and/or independent actuation of the plurality of actuators based on the at least one body input signal in accordance with a movement function to achieve the desired directional movement of the endpoint within the movement envelope.

Abstract: The grooved broom for use with a refrigerated trailer floor that includes a plurality of separated regions of bristles having the same length. The separated regions of bristles form grooves, which are adaptively engaged upon a grooved or notch floor, which is typically associated with trailer floors. The grooved broom features adjustable ends that extends and retracts along each end of said broom, and which provides a means to sweep against sides of said floor. The adjustable end is adjusted via a spring-loaded button that is located on the broom, and which can lock upon one of a plurality of holes located on the respective adjustable end.

Abstract: An Improved Beverage Can Lid comprises a pressure relief orifice, and a beverage orifice. The tab can be turned around about 180° in order to open the pressure relief orifice. The Improved Beverage Can Lid is affixed to the top of the beverage can body.
