  • Patent number: 11425334
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques improve user engagement and promote efficient use of computing resources by providing dynamically controlled aspect ratios for communication session renderings based on a physical orientation of a device. In some configurations, a system can select a first aspect ratio for individual video streams of a communication session when a device is in a first orientation, e.g., a portrait orientation. In addition, the system can select a second aspect ratio for the individual video streams when the device is in a second orientation, e.g., a landscape orientation. In some configurations, the first aspect ratio can be greater than the second aspect ratio, or the aspect ratios can be selected based on a target aspect ratio, which can be adjusted over time. By dynamically selecting an aspect ratio for individual stream renderings, screen space of a device can be optimized while the device is held in various physical orientations.

  • Publication number: 20220253063
    Abstract: Autonomous machine navigation techniques may generate a three-dimensional point cloud that represents at least a work region based on feature data and matching data. Pose data associated with points of the three-dimensional point cloud may be generated that represents poses of an autonomous machine. A boundary may be determined using the pose data for subsequent navigation of the autonomous machine in the work region. Non-vision-based sensor data may be used to determine a pose. The pose may be updated based on the vision-based pose data. The autonomous machine may be navigated within the boundary of the work region based on the updated pose. The three-dimensional point cloud may be generated based on data captured during a touring phase. Boundaries may be generated based on data captured during a mapping phase.

  • Publication number: 20220231760
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for providing accurate measurements of timing errors using optical techniques are described. An example timing measurement device includes an optical hybrid that receives two optical pulse trains and produces two or more phase shifted optical outputs. The timing measurement device further includes two or more optical filters that receive the outputs of the optical hybrid to produce multiple pulse signals with distinctive frequency bands. The device also includes one or more photodetectors and analog-to-digital converters to receive to produce electrical signals in the digital domain corresponding to the optical outputs of the hybrid. A timing error associated with the optical pulse trains can be determined using the electrical signals in digital domain based on a computed phase difference between a first frequency band signal and a second frequency band signal and a computed frequency difference between the first frequency band signal and the second frequency band.

  • Publication number: 20220212446
    Abstract: A laminated glass article comprises a core layer comprising a core glass composition having an average core coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEcore) and a clad layer directly adjacent to the core layer and comprising a clad glass composition having an average clad coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEclad) that is less than the CTEcore such that the clad layer is in compression and the core layer is in tension. A compressive stress of the clad layer increases with increasing distance from the outer surface of the clad layer, transitions to a minimum tensile stress as a step-change at an interface region between the core layer and the clad layer, and a magnitude of the tensile stress increases continuously to a maximum tensile stress in the core layer. Other stress profiles, and methods of preparing laminated glass articles are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220150083
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques optimize the use of computing resources and user engagement by dynamically displaying a group of users of a communication session within a designated display area where each user of the group each share a common activity factor. For example, participants can be part of a group displayed in a certain section of a user interface or on a particular display screen if they each share a location, a role, a set of permissions, a team, a contribution level, etc. A system can also allow users of a group to exclusively control content that is displayed within a designated display area associated with the group. By dynamically displaying a group of users and content they control within designated display area by the use of a common activity factor, a system can improve user engagement by enabling users to readily identify people of interest.

  • Publication number: 20220135472
    Abstract: Methods for compensating for warp typically exhibited by glass-based articles having non-uniform thicknesses as a result of ion exchange strengthening are provided. The methods include producing a molding surface of a mold based on a measurement of warp obtained by a specified ion exchange strengthening of a glass-based substrate of non-uniform thickness, such that the molding surface offsets the warp. Glass-based substrates resulting from the mold can then be exposed to the specified ion exchange strengthening and form glass-based articles that are substantially free of warp.
