  • Patent number: 11772941
    Abstract: A crane vehicle achieves safe movement by reliably detecting an obstacle in a region which is a blind spot from the opposite side of the driver seat across a boom. The crane vehicle includes an obstacle sensor which is a transmission/reception antenna that transmits a detection wave and receives the detection wave reflected from the obstacle. A signal corresponding to the reflected wave received by the obstacle sensor is amplified and input to a controller, which calculates the position and the size of the obstacle on the basis of the signal. The controller generates an obstacle display image and displays the image on a display, the obstacle display image including a vehicle object that represents a crane vehicle and an obstacle object which is an object corresponding to the calculated size of the obstacle and which is disposed at a position corresponding to the calculated position of the obstacle.

  • Patent number: 11699035
    Abstract: Messages are processed to generate effectiveness predictions and/or other insights associated with the messages. Candidate messages are processed through a natural language processing (NLP) component to parse the candidate message into message elements for further processing. The message elements are converted to a vector or set of vectors, which are provided as input to a machine learning model to make predictions of message effectiveness. A contribution score can be made for each message element of the candidate message, which may be indicative of the importance or relevance for the individual message element to the overall predicted message effectiveness. Other message elements not originally within the message can be provided as candidates to replace message elements already located within the message. In this way, a message that is likely to be effective, such being likely to have a high conversion rate, can be published or otherwise distributed.
