  • Patent number: 11603151
    Abstract: A system for removing, storing and precisely re-installing removable automobile doors. This system includes a mobile base for positioning near the vehicle and moving stored doors to their storage location. The base of this system provides mounting positions for 2 or more lifting/storing/re-installation devices, accommodating full service (removal, storage and re-installation) of up to 4 doors at once. The lifting/storage/re-installation devices contain full 3 axis precise adjustment and rigid coupling to each of the vehicle's doors. Without this precision, the weight and non-balance of removing/re-installing the doors can cause the door to tilt into or away from the vehicle, possibly crushing a human body part (finger, hand) and/or damaging the vehicle or door. By rigidly coupling the door to the precisely adjusted device, precise vertical lifting and lowering may be used to remove and re-install the doors, including accommodating surface variations encountered from removal to re-installation time.

  • Patent number: 11511800
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining an angle of a movement path of a trailer. The system for determining an angle of a movement path of a trailer comprises a camera; and an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the camera and configured to receive first data from the camera, determine an absolute angle of the trailer based on matching one portion of an image received in the first data to a template, receive second data from the camera, estimate a change in the angle of the trailer based on tracking one or more points on the trailer received in the second data, and determine the angle of the movement path of the trailer based upon the trailer angle and the change in the angle of the trailer.

  • Publication number: 20220375116
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein facilitate tracking the degree to which a size of a biological structure changes over time. In some instances, an initial biological image (collected at a first time) can be segmented to characterized a boundary and size. A subsequent biological image can be processed to identify a deformation and/or transformation variable (e.g., one or more Jacobian matrices and/or one or more Jacobian determinants). The deformation and/or transformation variable(s) and initial segmentation can be used to predict a size of the biological structure at a subsequent time. The predicted size may inform a treatment recommendation.

  • Publication number: 20220335151
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided in a cloud-based computing environment for identifying sensitive data risks in cloud-based deployments. The mechanisms build a knowledge graph based on data schema information for a cloud-based computing environment, a set of parsed infrastructure logs, and a set of captured application queries. The mechanisms identify a set of sensitive flows in the knowledge graph representing paths from a sensitive data element to an endpoint in the knowledge graph. The mechanisms score the set of sensitive flows based on a scoring algorithm and issue an alert to an administrator in response to a score of a sensitive flow within the set of sensitive flows exceeding a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11468228
    Abstract: Content frames can be provided for productivity applications through a content frame platform. The platform can detect a sequence of similar documents (“a document run”) and provide functionality to easily create the next document in the sequence through a content frame. The platform can receive a trigger for a content frame for a new document; and, in response, determine whether the new document belongs to a document run. In response to determining the new document belongs to a document run, the platform can determine at least two documents in the document run to be used to create the content frame and identify common content between the at least two documents in the document run. The content frame, which can include at least an outline for the new document and sections of updatable content for the new document, can be generated using the common content and provided for display and/or editing.

  • Publication number: 20220319008
    Abstract: Medical image(s) are input into a detection network to generate mask(s) identifying a set of regions within the medical image(s), where the detection network predicts that each region identified in the mask(s) includes a depiction of a tumor of one or more tumors within the subject. For each region, the region of the medical image(s) is processed using a tumor segmentation network to generate one or more tumor segmentation boundaries for the tumor present within the subject. For each tumor and by using a plurality of organ-specific segmentation networks, an organ is determined within which at least part of the tumor is located. An output is generated based on the one or more tumor segmentation boundaries and locations of the organs within which at least part of the one or more tumors are located.

  • Publication number: 20220242233
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting hazardous vehicle events and encouraging usage of driving optimized application features to mitigate occurrence of the hazardous vehicle events. The driving optimized application features can address unsafe driving events that are determined to be correlated with certain distracting application features. For example, an application of a computing device can determine that a user is occupying a vehicle and is driving toward a destination. While driving, data available to the application can indicate that an unsafe driving event, such as a hard braking event, has occurred while the user was interacting with another application. Thereafter, and based on this data, the application can render an output characterizing the correlation between the hard braking event and the other application, and/or provide the user with an option to interact with the other application via driving optimized feature(s).
