  • Publication number: 20240161512
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system generates an image using either a first or a second image signal processing (ISP) algorithm, where the first or second ISP algorithm is applied to raw image data of a camera of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) to generate the image. The system applies a machine learning model to the image to identify a representation of an obstacle, where the machine learning model is generated by a few shots learning algorithm that contrasts labeled data of a positive training sample from images corresponding to the first and second ISP algorithms to labeled data of a negative training sample from images corresponding to the first and second ISP algorithm. The system determines a classification and a location of the obstacle based on the representation of the obstacle. The system plans a motion control of the ADV based on the classification and location of the detected object.

  • Patent number: 9067017
    Abstract: There is provided a flow system of a dialysis device including a dialysate conduit which is capable of being in fluid communication with the peritoneal cavity of a patient's body and of being in fluid communication with a flow path, the flow path allowing dialysate to flow from a patient's body to a sorbent capable of removing contaminants within the dialysate in an outflow mode and in an inflow mode returning the dialysate substantially free of contaminants to the patient's body. The device also includes a pump for moving the dialysate along the flow path in both the outflow mode and inflow mode and a plurality of valves disposed along the flow path. There is also provided a portable dialysis device.

  • Patent number: 4015778
    Abstract: A multifunctional outdoor folding chair comprising two generally U-shaped open frames, one major and outer and the other minor and inner, braced pivotally one within the other to support a detachable seat which, in turn, supports pivotally a detachable back panel. The two frames are braced at points generally midway between the ends of the paired cross legs thereof by a common fastener. Rows of bosses under the seat serve to connect with locking channels on the planar top portions of the two frames, and the chair height can be adjusted by choosing the appropriate boss row for connection with the major frame. A storage chamber is attached between the leg portions of the minor frame adjacent the lower ends, and another storage shelf is built onto the undersurface of the seat. The back panel, by means of angle joints at the rear end thereof, is mounted onto the seat through locking slits thereon. Different game board patterns are printed on the top of the seat, and on the back and the front of the back panel.
