  • Publication number: 20250102695
    Abstract: A marine survey system and method for ultrahigh resolution (UHR) mapping of a marine bottom (B) below a body of water (W) by means of a frame (20) towed as a whole by one or more towing cables (12) at a distance (Xf) behind a marine vessel (10) moving over the water (W) in a movement direction (V). The frame (20) comprises a rigid framework (23) and a plurality of independent acoustic sources (21), wherein each acoustic source (21) is independently controlled to emit a separate acoustic wave (A) propagating through the water (W) and reflecting off bottom regions of the marine bottom (B) for the mapping thereof. The acoustic sources (21) are kept fixated by the rigid framework (23) at a source-to-source distance (Ys) less than four meters in a transverse direction (Y) perpendicular to the movement direction (V) of the vessel (10) to distinguish the bottom regions with an ultrahigh resolution (Ry) of less than two meters at least in the transverse direction (Y).

  • Patent number: 12249237
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for traffic flow control. In an aspect, an on-board computer (OBC) of a vehicle of a secondary traffic flow determines that a primary traffic flow is passing through an intersection associated with a traffic light, wherein the determination that the primary traffic flow is passing through the intersection is based on sensor data from one or more sensors of the vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, or any combination thereof, and reduces a speed of the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from tripping a traffic light sensor associated with the traffic light until after the primary traffic flow has passed through the intersection.

  • Publication number: 20250058712
    Abstract: A system of object detection for a trailer. In one example, the system includes a camera configured to capture images of the trailer, where the images include an object other than the trailer. The system also includes a sensor configured to capture sensor data, a display configured to display images from the perspective of the camera, and a controller on the vehicle. The controller includes an electronic processor configured to receive the image data from the camera, receive the sensor data from the sensor, determine a blind spot, analyze the sensor data for radar data associated with the object, calculate the position of the object relative to the blind spot and the trailer, determine that the object is within the blind spot using an object detection algorithm, and in response to the determining that the object is within the blind spot, generate an augmented image.

  • Patent number: 12229311
    Abstract: An improved computing tool performs an improved computing tool function to identify sensitive data risks in cloud-based deployments. A knowledge graph is built based on data schema information for a cloud-based computing environment, a set of parsed infrastructure logs, and a set of captured application queries. A set of sensitive flows in the knowledge graph are identified representing paths from a sensitive data element to an endpoint in the knowledge graph. The set of sensitive flows are scored based on a scoring algorithm and an alert is issued to an administrator in response to a score of a sensitive flow within the set of sensitive flows exceeding a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250012742
    Abstract: A method of analyzing a sample imaged by electron backscatter diffraction. The method comprises identifying a plurality of Kikuchi bands in an electron backscatter diffraction image of a position on the sample. The method further comprises forming, for each identified Kikuchi band, a respective vector representation of said Kikuchi band based at least in part on an estimate of the position on the sample. A configuration of the sample is determined by identifying a particular set of expected vector representations from a plurality of sets of expected vector representations as matching the vector representations of the plurality of identified Kikuchi bands.
